Huh? My 300SD with 230K takes the curves,brakes, and does just about

From the few hours that I was able to actually drive the w126 LWB, I
thought it was a superb car and wanted that model just for the leg
room. It was a pleasure on the highway, but a slug in town. I was

I've owned two 124 bodies and I own a 1987 300SDL. They really are two
different cars. I love my 300SDL but if I had my choice of Mercedes, it
would be a 1991, 124 body, 300D 2.5 Turbo-diesel.

I own both a W126.125 (1986 300SDL) and a W124 (1993 300E 2.8). Both are
terrific cars.
I like the performance, handling, economy (30mpg on the road), simple design,
reliability, style and comfort of the W124. I have no problem with the elbow on
the window sill, can put the seat back far
