Emmisions exempt, great accelleration, sporty semi-compact, straight six engine that resembles the old diesel Mercedes Ive had in the past....easy to do a tune up. Very easy to see all blind spots the way the windows and frame are integrated...many recent cars Ive had do not have this aspect which makes lane changes difficult,very easy to see all around the outside of vehicle. These older mercedes are alot easier to work on and maintain than most think, and parts are not that expensive. It will spin tires with force, strong engine purrs with an almost roar at start up. Only thing I dont like is the wide turning radius, like the old 80s models...wears out edges of front tires abnormally faster than more modern steering applications. I plan to keep this car forever, will get better front tires/look into adjusting/modifying front end for better low speed handling...very good high speed handling...super solid car.

Excellent car. I like the W202 styling and performance. The interior, as almost all Mercedes, is very durable and comfortable. Great performance out of the 2.8 straight six. Various trim options, mine was the sport model and an upgrade CD player from a Lotus.

Just look at this cute, medium sized thing. Its what every family needs, not to big, not too small, its just right. It has enough power to overtake and scramble up hills, but at the same time it has wallet-friendly fuel usage. Lots of little extras make driving more fun, and as always, Mercedes build quality leaves nothing to be desired.
