So, I was originally under the impression the 300SD was just a slight variation on the 300D. I'm now getting the impression that the 300SD is an almost entirely different car but using the same engine and transmission.
So... Which parts are the same or different? From what I've gathered/guessed: Same: Engine Transmission Different: body springs shocks steering brakes I'm just wonderingf On 11/2/06, Fred Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ditto on what Jeff and others have said about the differences. I prefer the 123 though. I prefer the smaller size and the feeling of driving the car versus riding along. For me the 126 makes a great vacation/highway cruiser. In most other situations I find it a little large and unwieldy and drive the 123, Civic or Alfa. Systems wise I prefer the manual heating/AC controls versus the ACC on the 126. Power locks, seats and windows are just something else that can go wrong. I am the only person that drives my vehicles so I've set the seat once. Back and forth from work, it's the 240D. 700 mile roundtrip to Des Moines, or up to Wisc somewhere then it's the 300SD...and if I'm really feeling lucky,the Alfa.
