The build of the car is wonderful. It is a hard ride, heavy, and you know you are driving a car. They do not build cars like the way they built this car. The seats are leather and is so classic. Originally, it could reach high speeds on the highway without any problems. Now, the car rattles around. I guess this is what happens with a 22 year old car. When I first bought it, it was a commuting car. Now, it breaks down so often I use it for local errands and to take my elderly parents to the local church on Sundays. Hence, this car is not really reliable. Many times as of late I've considered selling it to a collector or a high schooler who is good with cars and knows how to appreciate such a beautiful yet old car. The style is always, always in. It's very comfortable. The fuel economy i... (more)
Story
I was driving around Oakland, CA with my girlfriend after just getting some In-N-Out. We were both skipping work (clearly, in my younger days), and she was feeding me Monster Fries as we spun around.
Pros
My favorite feature about the car is it's heavy drive and classic look. It is and always will be very fashionable, it's a girl's favorite accessory! My co-workers at one point called me "The bitch with the bags and the Mercedes-Benz"
Cons
The cons is it's not reliable. It breaks down at least once a month. I'm afraid to drive it long distances.

This car was purchased for my daughter before she went to college. And I took over when she no longer needed it. Overall, it was well maintained by regular services and some changes of parts. It's been over 12 years now I still drive it weekly with no problem. I think the low mileage of my driving is one of the factors.
Story
I do not recall any fun story except a memorable one with getting traffic tickets.
Pros
Small and easy to park and drive Dependable and very few problems
Cons
It has some minor part issues such as rear lamps required frequent changes....

2010 Mercedes-Benz 240-Class - It's a strong and economical classic car. I would buy it again.

It has strong and reliable parts, which don't get faulty. Second thing is the great reliability of the car with an amazing feel for the road. It has power steering, which makes it more easier and convenient for the driver. Has a great overall style, and performance is amazingly great. A standard headlight and sound system also makes the feeling of having my car admirable and awesome. The car cargo space. It has 12.6 cubic feet of trunk space, which is about average. A folding rear seat is standard, and the power trunk lid is optional.
Pros
Dashboard, gear handle, and the well-furnished leather seats, which makes both the driver and passenger more comfortable. Reliability of the car. Power steering that makes driving comfortable and easier. The headlight of the car makes night driving look like day driving. The sound system. The acceleration and brakes. The leather seats are soft and so comfortable.
Cons
Fuel consumption, it consumes more fuel when the air conditioner is on. Bad spare tires. Bad rims.
