Feel more safe and smooth ride and confortable handling

 

W124 E-220 is tank like feeling when you drive it. i have 1996 petrol version.

 

Exterior Star Logo at bonnet is so attractive and easy for kids to damage/bend/break it. Original cost is 5000 and locally available for 2000 Rs. But how many times we can afford???

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good, Even after 13 years, still original leather is looking good. It almost faced 13 year of Indian summer!! Little less space of glove box. Seats and Space is very good.

Comfort and feel under control stable even at 160km speed.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Final Words- Value for money if we buy well maintained car.

 

Areas of improvement Dash board space to keep the things should be better. I owe this car since 15 months and my cost per km comes to approx Rs.18 per km which includes all costs such as fuel, insurance, tyres, service costs at authorised agent,

I drive hardly 5000 km per year and I can easily maintain Mercedes at the cost of just A star/Swift cost.

 But the agent in Chandigarh (Earlier Tai-Pan and now Joshi Auto) do not keep any stock of spares and if you leave car, first they will give order spares and then call you for service. Spares takes 3 to 4 weeks to get from them.
