I've owned some crappy used cars in the past like '79 Honda CCVC hatchback, '78 Dodge Aspen and my favorite '84 Mercury Topaz. When the Topaz died I decided to go with a German manufacturer to change things up.

I "settled" on the 190e and have been happy ever since. To me it was just a used car....but to my passengers it was a very different ride. They remarked about how solid the ride was. Cruising the hwy was like floating on glass. Even the doors closed shut with an authoritative "thump".

These were remarks from new Toyota Camry, C230 and ML 320 owners. After riding in their new cars I too can feel the difference. Who knew a 14 year old baby-benz can impress huh? Sad to see that recent MB's don't feel as solid anymore.
