Big Motoring World reviews a classic: Mercedes-Benz 190

It’s over 30 years since the Mercedes 190 classic saloon was first unveiled. It was designed as a blend of comfort and solidity.  It shifted nearly two million cars before finishing production in the early 1990s, and it still makes a strong impression today. Big Motoring world reviews its success.

Practicality

Inside, things can certainly appear on the austere side with simple colours and a thoroughly sensible dashboard. It works impeccably well, imparting a feeling of longevity that you simply don’t find in other cars of the era and certainly nowadays. It’s a cabin which helps to appreciate well-executed engineering. 

Driving experience

The fuel-injected 2.0-litre model made reasonable use of its 122bhp with a 0-60mph time of 10.5 seconds, and many buyers opted to equip their 190 with an automatic transmission and it remains the more logical choice today.  The controls work with the well-oiled precision you’d expect, and there’s the usual huge steering wheel to make classic Benz owners feel at home.

Verdict

Durable and reliable, the baby Benz is nothing short of a bargain.  A cared for example will outlast its owner, and if you want the perfect example of over-engineering then look no further. It’s somewhat staggering to think that such a terrific car is still available so cheaply, and while prices are rising it’s likely to remain affordable for some time. Any model should be bought on condition, rather than mileage, as they’ll last forever if you treat them well.
