I've heard mixed reviews on this car. I've owned a w124 with an M104 and felt it was fairly reliable, but the ASR system left me in limp home mode fairly often. Back when I drove w123s and non electronic w124 diesels, they were pretty much bullet proof reliable aside from fairly easy to solve fuel issues once in a while (filters, air in lines, etc).



Is the w202 C230 a decent car?
