1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 280 review

The most best car I owned

This car met all the things I need in car life.After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

I’ve added all new parts to this car!

Added a new transmission system! And it drives very smoothly and soft. Also new brake paddles and new Mercedes tires. A lot of leg room also.
