Agree. w124 cars have a pretty good rep.
Hit Man X has a love for the w201 as well.
I like my 126s though.

I'd feel out that 124 before jumping into another car. I'm not sure what they'll get MPG wise, but 30-35 sounds pretty decent. Just remember it still almost a 20 year old car, your expectations shouldn't be too high for the MPG. Technologies advances and changes..

My sister's G6 (according to the fueleconomy.gov website) gets 23 city, 33 highway.

I think my 3.0L w201 gets around 22 on average.
