I am not enamored of the style/design of the 210 era cars. I get the feeling that the cars from 95-05 are pretty much junkers due to the lapses in quality control and questionable parts. The records show that even the W140 had pretty bad issues from 92-96, and only during the last three years of that model were they able to produce something half decent.
