Why I love Mercedes Benz.

[Tony66_au]

I cop a bit of flak driving Mercedes because I am neither wealthy or posh and I've often had to defend my choices to the great unwashed Falcodore driving masses and over time I developed a bit of a list.

Id also like to hear your reasons.

BTW this covers my personal experience with W126 300SEL, W124 230TE and W116 450SE.

5 thou ring to bore clearance

Forged cranks, well engineered bottom ends.

ChroMo rings

High Nickel cylinder liners

Heated mirrors

Heated Washer nozzles

Passenger safety 2nd to none

Handling

Economy (230 M102)

MB Tex Versus Vinyl

Brakes, Brakes and more brakes.

Handling, even on the S class's.

Fit and finish

Passenger comfort

Good value second hand motoring

The little things.

Simple. The first time I saw a W116, I wanted one.

I think Mercedes-Benz put it quite beautifully 'Engineered like no other Car in the World' and 'The best or nothing'.

I grew up with Mercedes-Benz Cars my Parents, Family and Friends have owned and driven Mercedes cars and I would not want to drive anything else as nothing else compares in my opinion.

'The Car with the Star is the best Car'!

Cheers.

6.9's surprisingly, are relatively cheap to own and run. My after tax weekly wage is less than $600 per week, and I have owned my 6.9 for nearly 10 years! Mind you, I have had to pay no rent or mortgage costs in that time.
