The 1989 Mercedes-Benz 230 is a part of the celebrated W124 generation, which is renowned for its build quality and timeless design. This elegance combined with reliability makes this model a classic. The 230 was powered by a robust 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that produced around 132 horsepower. Power was sent to the rear wheels, and while 0-60 times weren't breathtaking by today's standards, the car's smooth 4-speed automatic transmission and comfortable ride more than made up for it. While safety and infotainment features are rather basic by today's standards, this model was fitted with anti-lock brakes - advanced technology for its time. The interior was plush, well built and insulating, offering an exceptional ride quality and a sublime cruising experience.
