My 85 with the stick is alright but i miss the torque of the diesel. My 92 is gawd awful when accelerating onto the freeway. Even with your foot down to the floor it awhile to get to 65mph, my 300D will get to 65 much faster then the 92 190E. the 85 with the 5-speed is quicker but i havent driven it enough to see how much better it is overall on the highway vs the 87 300D.

Im still happier with the diesel then the gasser.
