![http://www.190revolution.net/prem/itgb/images/IMG_0755.jpg](http://www.190revolution.net/prem/itgb/images/IMG_0755.jpg) Discuss… I have been researching these cars for quite some time now… let me know what you guys think… BTW: it’s a '86 190 2.3-16. In other words a 2.3 litre 16V producing about 165 HP. They imported about 2,000 of thse cars to the US. ---

I love the 190E, almost bought one a few years ago. But I wouldnt keep any of the engines they came with in the US. Waste of time and money, yes, even the 2.3 16v. ---

It’s a good looking car, but after owning a few new cars I think you’re going to be seriously let down when you drive one. A lot has changed for the better since 1986. ---

I have fallen in love with this car over the past few months…and If I sell the gti I won’t have a car payment which is awesome. I just have always wanted an older german car…it was this or a e30 m3… prefferbly with the 4 cyl. I know it is not a quick car, but It will be fun to drive and it will feel very connected to the road… ---
