Bimey, the road surface must have suffered a great deal after that,
interesting point, since the w202 and the 124 have similar traits would the above safety issue be deemed the same then for the 124 - or not?
I can really knock the build quality - I had one - you just haven't let me try!
Ratings or not, I lost my first 202 due to a pillock pulling out in front of me, and I still thank the guy in the sky for being in the 202. A 40 mph crash (minus a few for some panic braking that was useless in the short distance I had), a near head on impact into the other vehicle, and we all walked away scot free, not even a bruise or neck injury.
I think if I was in another car of the time (say a late escort or early focus), the car would have been mashed along with some injuries to me and the passengers.
They are pretty tank like for the age. Okay, maybe not super safe, but I'd rather be in one of those in any potential future crash than a most other cars of that era.
I had "several" incidents in my W202; including (but not limited to...)
- Side impact from a bandit
- Frontal impact with a people carrier
- Side impact with an articulated lorry
- Frontal impact with a wall
I'm sure there are safer cars out there
To be fair, I did get it cheap at the time so the niggles were't entirely unexpected.
