A few months ago we featured a drive in a bone stock, U.S.-spec Mercedes 190E. It was fine, and felt solid, but it wasn't...fun. It didn't explain the legendary status of the 190E. Then we were offered this one, which is lighter, stiffer, and a bit faster.

The 190E is a very important car in history, because without its existence, we would not have gotten fast sedans like the M3, the RS4. This is the car that started it all, a car that won on the track and forced BMW to build the E30 M3.

The Mercedes 190E 2.3 16v is the stuff of legend. It is arguable that without its existence we wouldn't have cars like the M3, RS4 and S4. Mercedes spent 6 years and many billions developing it, building it strong enough to race in WRC. That never happened, but that engineering gave us a strong, over-built car that was quick, comfortable, and fun to drive. It was a compact sedan that rode like a Mercedes and had a heart at the track. It's an important car, and finally, we get to drive one.
