@@goldendlolig8237 yeah well that is actually how many people in less developed countries drive. It was the same way with the Sri Lanka POV Drive channel.

For bonus points some idiots have the AC on along with having their windows down.
This is a great spec. I hope someone can take it and clean it up. This car doesn't deserve to die. You don't even see new Mercedes with that kind of leather option anymore. These were built so well. The new Mercs are full of cheap plastic inside. This car has aged so well especially the interior.
@@srliam47 I have and they all feel like garbage compared to these. The new C Class has more plastic than cars half its price. The entire lower dash and door panels are all hard plastic. The previous versions were not like that. The GLE and GLS is just as bad. The only car that still has quality materials all over is the S Class. But back in these generations they didn't use cheap materials in the C and E like they do now.
Totally acceptable car even in Europe today. Must feel like a spaceship there. Doesn't go straight, typical sign of car rolling in Africa but not bad at all....
