1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-ClassReview
GuruGNJWK writes:
All Models of the W124, from 1985-95 were quite possibly the finest cars ever made. Everything that would make a car the best, this era of Mercedes-Benz had. No car Ive had before or sense could compare. After Mercedes-Benz bought Chrysler they learned how to make luxury cars cheaply. The quality went down and the price went up. The following generations of Mercedes-Benz were imitations of what they once were. I wouldnt buy todays Mercedes-Benz. |

Panzer Tank Build. The Last Of The Real M-bs. — What can I add that hasn't already been written about the iconic W124 Mercedes-Benz? These cars were big, heavy, overbuilt, solid, and would run all day long at 100 mph without batting an eye...unless the local constable wasn't in a good mood. The ride was smooth and luxurious, the power kept on and on, and the parts were ridiculously expensive and you had to know someone named Klaus or Fritz or Hans to get it worked on. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: The don't build them like that anymore! Solid, reliable, run forever, run fast all day long. Cons: Expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, "old man" styling. |

Owned It For 15 Years...i Must Like It! — Best family car I have owned....third row seating is great for carpool duties, and trips to the mountains in snow...even heavy snow...are no big challenge with the car's all wheel drive. Solid, dependable, last of the hand-built Mercedes. Pros: Solid, beautiful, unstoppabale in snow Cons: Expensive repairs, so so mileage |

Great Overall Vehicle. — Although I don't have kids nor typically have passengers, I prefer a wagon to an SUV so I can do mobile repairs and have the room to haul my tools without sacrificing mpg. The added benefit is the 4MATIC system since it does snow here at least 4 months out of the year. The added 3rd row seat that folds down with the 2nd row seats for more than enough room for a large jack, jack stands, and tools. If need be, the 2nd row seat splits so you can accommodate an extra passenger while having plenty of storage space. Although dated the 3.0 straight six has plenty of torque, reliability, and accelerates quickly because of the 3.07 or 3.27 (IIRC) differential ratio. Pros: It's a Mercedes! Enough said. But seriously, from owning many previous used Mercedes (and BMWs) with high mileage, I am very impressed with German engineering and quality in parts. Cons: 1st generation 4MATIC (AWD) system (2nd generation is better). Reactive system, where it retains the all time RWD and only applies the front when it detects slippage. Which may improve MPG though it's successor has electronic control to all wheels at all times (Proactive). |

A Timeless Classic That Will Be Around For A Long Time. — This is the first year of the aluminum head six-cylinder OM-603 Turbo Diesel engine in the W124 body style. The first of the E-Class cars sold in the US. I learned pretty quick what they mean by "not like any other car." Awesome build quality and a great ride for a 20+ year old car. The Diesel engine is strong a clatters like a locomotive! I love that sound... Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Great MPG and a very safe car! Cons: Like any old Mercedes, you need to do your own work or pay the big price for repairs! |

Anders writes:
Definitely Worth Owning — Excellent acceleration from 2000rpm, good brakes handles well but it does need small repairs once in a while. I like both the in- and exterior but the exteriour looks kind of boring original, it needs new lights and wheels to achieve its potential :P gas mileage is very good for a 3 liter... about 1,2-1,4liters/10km. parts are expencive from Mercedes but there are a lot of aftermarket parts for the car. Increadibly fun to drive ;) Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Performance, quality, gas mileage. Cons: Can't think of any. |

Old School Og Ride. — This car is a beast! Performance is geared toward autobahn top speeds, not crazy accelleration. Handling and breaking are strong and ride quality is excellent. Build quality and fit and finnish are second to few. This era of mercedes benz was made much better than the later 90's and early 2000's. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Trick it if you got it. Cons: Expensive german engineering. |

Drive A Piece Of Automotive History, And Have Fun, Too. Don't Tell Your Friends It's Only Worth 5k. — Decent speed (8.5 0-60, 220 BHP), excellent braking, handling a bit soft on stock springs. No squeaks or rattles. I have replaced a few things only for cosmetic or precautionary reasons, only once necessary (20 yr old alternator, can't blame it) . Classic styling, though some may see it as outdated. US spec lights are ugly, I would suggest buying Euro-spec lights or 94-95 US lights + headlight wiper deletion. Interior is simple, elegant, and comfortable. Very modern for its day. Maintenance next to nothing unless you are really picky and want it to be like new (like me). Gas mileage not great -16-18 mpg in mixed driving, 12-14 when driven hard. Car is faster than the average car on the road, kickdown switch makes the auto-transmission come alive. Driving a piece of history. Lots of fun if the car is in good nick. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Inexpensive, swoopy lines, last of the overengineered Benzes. Cons: Outdated styling, performance a little monotanous, gas mileage fairly poor. |

Justin writes:
I Want To Keep It. — It could accelerate pretty well now. Braking could be a factor. It handles pretty well though, even on a mountain curve or two. It drifts pretty well on slick areas. I would say it's just pretty heavy for the most part. The brakes, belts, sensors, and right control arm needs to be changed as well as various other parts that I don't want to list at the moment. When it's done, it'll be really awesome to drive around. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: It looks pretty sporty, especially racing it. Cons: It does have its problems, and it's very heavy. Back seats suck here too. |
