I bought this lovely car about 2 years ago -
although 300k km on the mileage counter,
there is no doubt that this car will go at least
some 200k more. This car is a perfect
companion for long trips. For now, I use less
than 8.5 litres/100km (average inner/inter-
urban) - and I'm quite proud of that ;-)
This is solid and reliable handicraft, repairs
need to be made on an average basis, nothing
special until now. Also very reliable in winter!
So much for the objective point of view. As for
the style - the body is elegant, the design a
classic, and the color just underlines my
personality. I personally prefer my fabric
interior over the leather.

Wouldn't change it for any other car  ;-)

amazing probably the best car that i have ever driven, so smooth with all of her body roll in the corners. i just love her. Blue interior is GEORGEOUS

It was summer of 1984, when this small car hit the market, and it was already hit by critics: too small, too consuming, too something, not a real Mercedes, but my experience is that it is a Mercedes in any way except in size. Very enjoyable ride (like the 'real' Benz), in lower prizing.

The true over-engineered Mercedes Benz

This 5-speed manual runs up to 30 mpg while effortlessly eating up the road.  The suspension sticks like glue. It's really quiet turning 2250 rpm at 60mph.  At 15 years old and 174,000 miles it's an a-m-a-z-i-n-g car!  I have come late to the Mercedes scene but having put 7200 miles on this car in the last 2 months - I can't get enough! I have a special edition New Beetle that is 2 seconds faster to 60mph and changes lane at a flick of the wrist but it's sitting on the side of the driveway - This is THE driving experience!
