    Glad I found this carnverstion. I own a 1999 w202 C180, had it close to a decade. I was initially searching for a specific station wagon but after a chat with the dealer he suggested I take a look at a personal car he was reluctantly selling... I was stunned - It was in mint condition body, interior & engine. It's easy maintenance - just watch the oil/water levels, good tires & service periodically and there you have an immortal car. I have owned & driven other brands in the past, but my Merc w202 is the one I won't let go. On the freeway it stabilizes the faster I go, handling corners smoothly while the engine temperature actually goes down. I've heard talk that it was built to run 1 million miles. Top Gear called it the Indestructible car!

    Finally finally. After asking for this for so long - re-driven imeweza. The W202 is a true gem, and in my opinion comes second to the W124. The M111 engine is bulletproof. I can bet you most of the cars you’ll drive on re-driven from the 90s will be German. I look forward to your review of the W124, W126 from the Benzes, and the bimmer e30, e34 and e36. Keep doing what you do.

    Great show guys!
    However, the W202 is a Modern Classic and other that the W116, W124 and W126 that you have promised to feature, I think you should also consider featuring the pre-1971 Mercedes Benz Classics e.g., W113, W111, W108 and also a post 1971 classic, the W107. There are a number of all those models right here in Nairobi!
    As a classic Mercedes Benz fan, I am very happy that a Kenyan TV car show is looking seriously at "Das Beste oder Nichts", "The Best Or Nothing".
    Hongera!

    I had 6 of them so far! They are absolutely bulletproof. Never had any serious problems. Unfortunately the rust is a big big problem. But in Africa they don’t rust that bad anymore so they will drive there forever. My old W202 is now in Niger Africa. So if you know some people there let me know :)

    The most unspoken and underated Benz is the w210.
    The car is a tank and it can never compare to the W124...they are worlds apart.
    To me the w210 is legendary and has no challenger.
    I have had a w124, an E190, three w202 and a w210 E230 111engine '97 model which I keep to date.
    Benz fanatics always stop to ask if it's for sale.
    I don't know what happened to most of them coz it's difficult to find clean ones but rest assured the w210 is quickly becoming a classic car and it's value is raising.
    Interestingly it's fuel friendly and can be used as a daily driver...this is despite the fact that it qualifies as a weekend car coz of it's age.
    That's how reliable they are.
    Driving from Nairobi to Mombasa in my w210 is like a dream,very fast,the best brakes ..it eats hills and corners like yams.
    Prado and V8 guys can't give a chase.. all they do is grin as I overtake them at 160kph.
    Kindly cover it in One of your next episodes.

    I own 2 w124’s and a w202. The cars are both great but you get more car for your money with the w202! Good w124’s are expensive now while a good w202 can be bought for a very reasonable price. Early w202’s suffer much less rust problems than later ones.

W124 its another one with the same Dna. So Eric those 3models are very durable car.

      M111's are prone to head gasket failure and they start leaking at the back before they completely fail. They are only reliable when they are rust free and gasket failures are sorted. Never buy one in humid areas.

    Bro the „W“ stays for Winter, in Germany ist makes sense because the streets here are very icy if the tmeperatures are lower (in Winter) so if you put the transmission on W the car starts to roll in second gear and has less torque.
