While I greatly respect T. Walgamuth's experience, as a matter of opinion, I disagree that the driving experience of a 123 is similar to a 110. While both rides are excellent, the 123 sits lower and I find that you can feel the road more. The 110 is more "stately", if you can understand what that means. The 110 cabin also feels more roomy. Of course, the 123 is way more sophisticated mechanically.

Of my three vintage MBs, the 280sel has the best ride of them all. Maybe it's the long wheelbase or the Michelin tires, but this car is rock stable and very, very smooth.
