The last real Mercedes-Benz built to last! W202 🤩 Amazing car

“Kenyans ni akina nani,wananunuanga number plate.” The accuracy in that statement .I wish people overlooked numberplates to be honest. People are missing out

Finally finally. After asking for this for so long - re-driven imeweza. The W202 is a true gem, and in my opinion comes second to the W124. The M111 engine is bulletproof. I can bet you most of the cars you’ll drive on re-driven from the 90s will be German. I look forward to your review of the W124, W126 from the Benzes, and the bimmer e30, e34 and e36. Keep doing what you do.

Glad I found this carnverstion. I own a 1999 w202 C180, had it close to a decade. I was initially searching for a specific station wagon but after a chat with the dealer he suggested I take a look at a personal car he was reluctantly selling... I was stunned - It was in mint condition body, interior & engine. It's easy maintenance - just watch the oil/water levels, good tires & service periodically and there you have an immortal car. I have owned & driven other brands in the past, but my Merc w202 is the one I won't let go. On the freeway it stabilizes the faster I go, handling corners smoothly while the engine temperature actually goes down. I've heard talk that it was built to run 1 million miles. Top Gear called it the Indestructible car!

w124 has and will always have a place in my heart I'd have gone for the AMG hammer but chances are I'll never get my hands on it, awesome review old chap.

W124 and the W211 have always had a special place in my heart,hoping to see a review of them soon

The handling aspects of this car are also superb thanks to its rear independent suspension and double wishbone suspension in the front. It is very composed even when doing 140km/h + on the highway.

I love my W202. Easy to work on if you can get parts for a reasonable price, and enough repair documentation. Critical requirements: workshop diagrams and Diagnostic Tools.

Thanks @Erick for this video....i guess after watching your video for almost 10 times...i had to make up my mind and get one from someone right away ..its 1996 model but its so fantastic...#This is Brian from Uganda 🇺🇬...thanks for opening my eyes

This first series of ReDriven was Epic, I learnt so much, good job Erick and Team!

I'm so happy after watching this episode. Just yesterday my friend told me she's saving up to buy a car for the first time and I advised her to get a c180. Thank you canversation

i restored a 1995 c200 w202 back in 2016 manual petrolium enginge, the year i turned 19, and i still drive him! such a reliable car minimal prolem, the only part that broke that was a pain was the Ignition module due to it being an old computing part, but everything else is so easy to come by!

Thanks for the wonder review. I own alot of of MB, including my w202 1995 manual petrol 5 speed. I have been with it for the last 20years. That m111 is a motor works, can live forever with basic maintainable. It's one of the best engines ever built in W202, w203, w163(ml230), vito, gwagon, w210, w211, clk, etc list endless. Thanks for the review.

@Erick with a CK. I've driven premios from 2006 models and currently a 2013 model, and on all of them I could open the boot from the key fob. Am tackling your vibe on minute 12:28 on the video. Kudos for the good work ua doing

Yesss wakobi..redriven is totally nice..loving it..cant wait for the sg9..best forester ever

Very informative, was planning to get one exactly this type now its guaranteed!

One of the cars am looking forward to buy have always loved everything about. Thanks for review Erick

I had 6 of them so far! They are absolutely bulletproof. Never had any serious problems. Unfortunately the rust is a big big problem. But in Africa they don’t rust that bad anymore so they will drive there forever. My old W202 is now in Niger Africa. So if you know some people there let me know :)

The '90s were a glorious time for cars. And that M111, together with the M113 V8, were legendary engines. The Germans really outdid themselves with these engines when it came to reliability.

A well thought out series. Very relatable.

Great show guys! However, the W202 is a Modern Classic and other that the W116, W124 and W126 that you have promised to feature, I think you should also consider featuring the pre-1971 Mercedes Benz Classics e.g., W113, W111, W108 and also a post 1971 classic, the W107. There are a number of all those models right here in Nairobi! As a classic Mercedes Benz fan, I am very happy that a Kenyan TV car show is looking seriously at "Das Beste oder Nichts", "The Best Or Nothing". Hongera!

Building a w202 M112 and I am loving it. Awesome episode

Hello. I drove one in 2003(I guess) and still one of best, cheap and smooth cars ever. Cheers from Brazil.

I have been driving w202 as a daily driver for more than one year and i totally agree with this video Nice reliant engineering and smooth ride

I love my 2000 202 as much as my 1971 Stingray convertible was. It is fun as my W 126 is my favorite car of all time! Thank GOD FOR BOTH OF THEM! Supercharged! 😄

This has been my favourite video you have done so far! Very relatable. Consider doing the W203 or E46 next.

Very informative now planning to get one...@Erick good job

I enjoyed this episode. Bring more redriven and restoration

Waw. I intend to buy a car but Wikobi makes my mind change each day. I will look for pre-purchase advice

Thanks Erick . This is a nice one . Keep it up.

looking forward on buying these model i really loved the review of such a classy Amg interior awesome great show of cars am a big lover of cars 👊👊😌💙

Mimi kama proud owner of a w201 I feel I should mention it was the first compact executive sedan from Mercedes Benz. It's dubbed the Baby Benz and is the forefather of the C-class.(only that it wasn't labelled C class at that time).

👍. Great correct info.This specific one used to be a parastatal car.

Thanks Canversations for this. Proof that you don't have to break a bank to own a car. Keep up guys!

I just bought one; and I love it. Thank you for this review

Excellent review... My friend brother in law was selling W200 back in 2014 I didn't know much about it and it was my first time to enter into that Merc! Honestly speaking if I had cash then, I would have bought it on the spot without bargaining. The interior was something else we went for the test drive. I was Sold...Sold kabisaaaa 💯🙌✨😀👏👏

i really like this section already... bring more redriven cars....

Erick with a CK kindly review the w124 next. great job brotha!!!

Awesome review, you have made me think twice before getting that first car.

Erick Wokabi with a CK! Give us a review of the 2001 Toyota Mark II RWD

The most unspoken and underated Benz is the w210. The car is a tank and it can never compare to the W124...they are worlds apart. To me the w210 is legendary and has no challenger. I have had a w124, an E190, three w202 and a w210 E230 111engine '97 model which I keep to date. Benz fanatics always stop to ask if it's for sale. I don't know what happened to most of them coz it's difficult to find clean ones but rest assured the w210 is quickly becoming a classic car and it's value is raising. Interestingly it's fuel friendly and can be used as a daily driver...this is despite the fact that it qualifies as a weekend car coz of it's age. That's how reliable they are. Driving from Nairobi to Mombasa in my w210 is like a dream,very fast,the best brakes ..it eats hills and corners like yams. Prado and V8 guys can't give a chase.. all they do is grin as I overtake them at 160kph. Kindly cover it in One of your next episodes.

This is a very good car. You cannot regret having one or two. Just a very reliable vehicle a family us have to move you around

Mercedes Benz especially the older ones are dear to my heart, do we have a good supply of parts if you want to restore and which mechanics in Nairobi or in Kenya would you recommend, thanks in advance.

redriven series is a much needed one

Nice content majamaa big up please si mni chapie review ya BMW E46 if possible im looking forward to get one and I would like to know more about it

Kindly ibra ama CK please say something about VW tsi 2012

Loving this new series... solid review!

I own 2 w124’s and a w202. The cars are both great but you get more car for your money with the w202! Good w124’s are expensive now while a good w202 can be bought for a very reasonable price. Early w202’s suffer much less rust problems than later ones.

l'm looking forward to this series. Great review!

Great content. I think this is what I'll look for 🙂

Sasa with this re-driven segment, I personally don't mind mkitoa episode daily coz there are some beautiful beautiful beautiful cars out there that are under rated by many but are extra ordinary cars. Looking forward to that w124 review. And also The bimmers that were bullet proof. the e30, e36. Na kuna kagari nataka utafutane nako sana, very very very rare, not German. Its a toyo actually but this was the hot hatch that made headlines in its time and its the Toyota starlet EP71 Turbo S. In other news nilienda pale Amex a few days ago na nikasema nimetumwa na Erick with a CK, nilipata discount ingine safi sana. Big up.

I have already fallen in love with that MACHINE, let me just use capital letters coz I salute it

I think the interior looks better than most 2015 japanese made cars...🔥🔥🔥

This is my favorite episode yet Big up i never heard about fuel consumption

Would you recommend buying an old benz? Availability of parts and maintenance costs, is it worth it?

I've got a w202 180 elegance I inherited from my grandfather. she got it new so I know the full history or it , I remember been in the back seat when I was a little kid. A little trick I learnt is if you hold the unlock button for several seconds all the windows go down haft way 😄

@erick i will definately look for you for this purchase.Over and out

Is the auto clinic equipped for a Land rover restoration series? Gari lipo.

Amazing knowledge. Kindly talk about c240, w202 112 engine.

the quality of video and audio gets better day by day......there is an addiction to the channel one cant do away with

Great video, I'd be dissapointed if you dont do a BMW E30 on this series

@4:02 that's Mercedes Benz "wall of death" imagine those test drivers driving at such angles, it's insane 😬

I like what you bring but even though your consultation is paid what about the kompressor? I humbly request for the reply

i watch redriven, the real redriven, mna bahati hatuko australia

Bro umenimaliza na apo pa kupiga drink na kuangalia parking lot lolest...!! Ows a very informative channel,n btw u wr busy gvng thinly veiled comparisons bt aukutaja vitz na mi upeleka vitz 990cc.

if you were to buy a toyota a91 or 100 and a mercedes w124, which one would you recommend and why?

great work guys

Btwn this w202 and the BMW e46, which one would you buy as a first car? Considering all factors

I have always admired the W202,its a classy car and very reliable.it has a bullet proof engine that i have always said and i will say its M111 will do a clean 1million miles before it u do an overhaul to the engine.other are W123 which came with M102 and M115. W124 its another one with the same Dna. So Eric those 3models are very durable car.

This is a good video very informative!

i loved this article....benz😍.....how about you review a volvo 240

This was my dream car when it came out I was like 6 years old uncle owned one brand new & 16:43 there is literally no car in production after September 1, 1998 that doesn’t come with an air bag it was made mandatory…. apo umetu cheat 😆

I love this car, I bought one recently

W124 all the way, hope I'll drive and own one one day.

Hi Erick. How can I get a well maintained w202 automatic engine?

I almost considered an Axio due to cost. It almost killed me in an Accident, But now I think i will consider a W202

It wound be great if you were to do a Mitsubishi challenger love it.

I am wondering where I can get a one of these on a budget of les 500k

erick with a ck why are killing my dream of owning an axio with manual transmission so u mean i should opt for tht oldskul

Excellent review🎈🎈🎈👏🏿👏🏿. You really are growing as a channel. I'm 14 and I watch your videos..the way mliingia kwa gari mkaongea was very authentic. Fiti Tena sana
