Too big... I've never driven a 126 (never had the opportunity) although I've
sat in one. Oh wait I moved it 10 feet, I forgot.
I do LOVE the wagons though. Those few times my '81 ran right it was as close
to motoring nirvana as I've ever been.

I think the ultimate 123 is a 126. I mean, why not? They're the same
price as 123s now, and have more room, a better ride, bigger brakes,
better passive safety, I would guess, and I think they handle about
the same if not better, and don't give up much if anything in mileage
or performance. I can appreciate wanting manual everything, but I
won't give up a turboed 617 to get it. My second choice would be a
turboed TD.
