Hi mattsuzie. I run a 1993 190E with a 4 cylinder 2.0 ltr engine which seems to be one of the most common imports here for the W201. There a few 2.5 and 2.6 ltr multi- valve and V6 versions about but they are generally pre 1992 and run to the ground. The 201 is fine for scooting around town and the trip to work but my pride and joy is the newly acquired 1991, W126 500SEL. This came off the line in February 1990 and was shipped to Japan in October that year where it spent it's whole life until it was shipped to me here in Dubai in June of this year. It runs as sweet as a nut and is a real pleasure to drive with that wonderful " Big Benz " feel that the 190 just does not have. All the time the petrol is cheap here, I will continue to enjoys it's magnificent V8 performance. Do you read the posts about the price of Gas in england at the moment, now that must hurt ! ( I think I'll stay here ! )
