Tonight I rode in a late 90s E Class. It had 190k miles, original transmission and engine. The ride was very smooth and it shifted so seamlessly I couldn't tell it was shifting unless I was looking at the tach. I heard that modern Mercedes cars aren't that reliable. Are most of them like the one I described, or is it just a special one? What impresses me is this is on original transmission. . .
From what I know, Mercedes stopped building card properly after the W126, when they started to try to catch up to Lexus in the electronics department.
