Oooh I do love a 116. A friend had a 116 300SD and we switched cars for a weekend, what a great car!
Only downside is they do rust badly, worse than a 123 I think. -Curt Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:22:01 +0000 (UTC) From: roger...@comcast.net To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Amazing 126 Message-ID: <591417085.298578.1327508520963.javamail.r...@sz0097a.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Rich , Being the owner of a 116 300SD for around 14 years, I too think the 126 is blimp like. But most of all, I dislike the plastic bumpers and plastic around the bottom of the car. More places for rust to hide and easier to scrape and need painting if bumped. If you take a trip in a 116, you'll enjoy the old Benz engineering; softer ride, better seats, great cruiser. I know we all love our individual selection of cars. I also have a 123 which I seriously enjoy for around town, but on the interstate, the 116 beats the 123 for comfort. Again, just my opinion. Best Wishes, Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.
