I'm at 197K miles on my 190E, and still at factory spec oil pressure too -- amazing.
I hate to say it, but a reasonable replacement for the Porsche might be a BMW. I haven't researched them fully, so don't know which years are better/worse... but the late 90's 5 series 6 cylinder looks very attractive both asthetically and mechanically. Add that they are plentiful with manual trannies -- and get nearly 30 mpg... attractive indeed. But I'll hold on to my 201 as long as I can -- I love this car.
