Faults:

Just bought at auction and notice the sunroof and rear windows don't work - same circuit? Has a hum from right rear wheel area at speed. Oil change guy today said it 'weeps' a bit underneath. Have read review site of similar problems.

'Mushy' brakes that may just need a 'look see'.

General Comments:

Have salivated about owning a MB for years and now know why. This 260E is the most beautiful car I've ever driven. If this doesn't self destruct, Volvo has lost a faithful 28 year driver/buyer.

Drove my kids individually to their friend's houses 40 miles apart just for the experience of driving.

Considered going out to the carport with my pillow and having a sleepover with it -- more than once.

Both teenagers want to be seen in it!

White with smoked windows, sunroof, black trim, chrome fender wraps, sweet looking, beautiful & sticky drive on our Island roads, super comfy ride in spite of lack of fiery spunk and top end range, a huge winner.

Faults:

Power Antenna Failed.

General Comments:

The car's transmission starts in 2nd gear under normal driving, but when the pedal is floored it starts in 1st gear, it will peel out and rocket from 0-60 in 8 sec flat.

The car handles very well in turns, the suspension is very smooth, however it gets a tad floaty on the highway. Overall it handles very well.
