Mercedes-Benz CE-Class Cabriolet 77-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great value now. 24v is not in demand, so price is in line with less powerful cars.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    About 275 miles to the full tank. Servicing can be found cheaply, but parts can be expensive.

    Boys like it, chicks don't. '80s design is muscle, not sex.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No complaints. Good room in back. Front is good.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Expensive service costs.
