@kikddabottle I currently have a '04 Audi A4 Quattro..... It is a "better" car, but lacks the solidness, and personality of my old 190E.... I could work on the 190E... I had the 16 valve with a 5 speed. I still have sellers remorse after 7 years. It is gone now.... The guy I sold it to crashed it 2 months after he bought it.
Why is it that a commercial for a 24 year old car can enthuse me more than any modern car? Well, the car is brilliant! Rear-wheel drive, multi-link suspension, strong torquey engines and sporty but safe dynamics.
W201 is truly a car worthy of the "made like no other" nameplate!
had one that was sideswiped by a truck, still drove like nothing happened. Shortly after it was tboned by a small nissan, the nissan was totalled and the merc has a dinted door and scraped rear wheel. love them
THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this up! I drive a 1985 190e as my daily driver and I'm absolutely in love with it. Got her from the second owner, dealer serviced all along. I like to think back to the days when she was the hot new thing. I watch this commercial over and over, LOL. The guy talks like my dad. That car driving is so sexy! I love mine!
Fuck yes they do! I love my '92 2.6L 190E. Crisp, solid handling, great driving position and lovely power. I left a tricked out Eclipse in the dust at an intersection after he revved his car beside mine to act like he was the shit, I took off without even giving it very much gas and showed him that his rice bucket was not "the shit" but just shit.
one of my dream car.

I had one for years.... I wish I never sold it. It was very solid, reliable, and fun to drive.

@grizzleypeak Seconded. Own a 95 s320 l now, and owning both, what the 190e didn't have, it made up for and more so with the "personality" it had.

My first ride in a Mercedes was on Friday September 3, 2010 in a 1995 C280... felt solid as a rock. (:
