Hello guys, i found this great forum today when i was searching for 190 clubs xD I have a 190D from my father and I have my license driver for about 2 months now xD Yesterday was my first day alone with the car, i was going out to pick a friend with my 190D xD The first moments i was very stressed about the trafic and so on lol Because i always have drived with my father, but a few moments latter after we had dinner the stress was gone, and the traffic was very few. We added to the casino, 10 minutes from our homes, there was some great open roads there, and i've pushed it hard in to 140 kmh lol and pushed it again in the corners, it was so smooth and clean, the car is perfectly balanced and I can't compare it to the trash of cars where i've leraned to drive like toyota aureos or something like that... I love the 190D and im grateful that it is my first car. With 250.000 km and 4 gear box it still can go to 170 kmh. Great machine, great mechanics, great body and stunning driving experience. I recommend to all the people who likes great cars.

I don't know if you guys wan't to see some fotos. The car haves 250.000klm but is in mint conditions inside and out side, the painting is shinny and all the gurls look hahahha

Stay cool guys, and have fun. Hope to see some comments if possible xD :driver:

We like photos! We adore photos, so keep it in mind when you post a thread, don't be shy to post some photos! ;)


I've got the same 190D with 4spd too. Pretty lazy at first but catch up quiet quickly. Very smooth and lovely with 188kms.

What are you studying? I'm 19 and I'm a student too lol :) Coincidence?

Yeah, its a very nice car, very consistent. What are the advantages of a 4 strokes gear box like mine against a 5 strokes gear box?

Stay cool guys. And drive safe! :driver:

I dont think there is.

Our 3rd is equvilant as the 4th in a 5spd. The drawback is that we dont have an extra gear to keep the car moving loose and save on fuel economy.

Our gearbox is very high, dont know about 5spd gearboxes, but sometimes in a hill I need to put it down in 3rd, gas down and still doing around 40km/h "before"

But after all, it is a very nice cruiser ;)

Yeah, sometimes it happens to me to, uphill in 3 and the car don't push more... and because we have to put the gas down we loose a lot more of fuel. To bad... Mercedes engineers must be a bit drunk already when they choose the 4 strokes instead of 5 hahhahaha
