Faults:

Nothing big has gone wrong, since I am the second owner of the car and it has been on maintenance more often than scheduled, and every problem was solved quickly.

Only thing I should do: Brakes (4 discs + Pads), because car did run about 5000 km in the last 2 years.

I also should change a tie rod.

General Comments:

This car is very comfortable, has a good handling and not so bad gas mileage (if running on 91 or more octane, otherwise you will see your tank empty within a few hours...).

This is not a sport car, but always have more power to give, no matter how fast you are going.

Also very reliable, and feels heavy and safe when driving.

Faults:

Transmission issues, although, this could be due to all sorts of reasons;

1. I suck at driving

2. My father has a problem with buying vehicles with problems or that are known for having them.

3 Being a teenager.

AC doesn't work anymore, and only one vent works for the heater.

Blown 2 tires in 4 months. Not really the car's fault, it's just an annoying thing for me.

Changed the stereo and two front speakers. Added 2 12" subs in the trunk over the summer and LOVE the bass. Although the trunk being right behind the back seats makes the sound distorted. So it's loud, but not defined, but I'm happy with that. It's enough to make 7-11's windows shake.

General Comments:

I feel lucky to have owned this car at 18 years old. I get comments from older drivers on my car which is going on 15 years now. I bought this car from an old couple who didn't drive it all that much for a bargain! Only 2k! I even get comments from my friends on how 'pimp' my car is.

All in all: Awesome car, smooth ride, fun to ride/drive, head turner and it's a beast!

Faults:

Brakes wear extremely quickly and have been replaced many times.

Engine heats up at high speeds.

Coolant tank exploded.

Automatic gear shift is dodgy at times.

Car can pull strongly to left at high speeds.

Rear electric windows are broken.

Sunroof motor is very slow.

General Comments:

This car is good looking and has an air of class about it.

The 2.2 engine is very sluggish and seems to small for the size of the car.

Very dull interior with the exception of a nice wood trim.

Not very spacious and rear passengers complain about the tight squeeze.

Good black paint job with only minor rust spots.

Top speed of 108mph is very disappointing.

Luckily managed to sell it on for a good amount and now have a far superior 1993 BMW 320i.

Mercedes service was very poor, so I used a third party.
