Hi Larry,
I've got an '85 190D which is a 2.2l 4cyl, 5spd. The '87 would be a 2.5 5cyl.
It'll be a rocketship compared to your 240D and should get better to much
better mileage.
It will be alot smaller than than your 240D, rear seat space is a bit laughable
unless the front seat folks are real short...
For a commuteing car though I don't think there is much finer for the balance
of comfort and fuel consumption...

Howdy all -
Found a 87 190D to replace my 78 240D. Not very familiar with the
87
190D series. W201 I believe. The ad says 5 cyl & 5 sp. What is
capacity
of 5 cyl 190D engine? Doesn't ring any bells -
I assume this combination would get pretty good mpg's?
How robust is this engine trans combination? Has 185k miles - to
me
that's just broken in good but a personal insp will tell. That's next.
Not sure if it'll feel large enough for me - as I get older I like
bigger
cars - like a W126 ;-)
I'm hoping to arm myself with some beakground facts 1st. I know
the
W201 was introduced in 84 to replace the W123 - I have a 84 sales
brochure -
would that be representative of a 87 model?
Thanks for any info you can offer -
