All IMO good cars if the suspension, HVAC, engine maintenance, condition are all up to snuff.

I am the opposite, I love the 95 OM606 engine, it seems to be relatively trouble-free (except for snapped glow plugs and wiring harness issues) and doesn't suffer from head/head gasket issues like some of the earlier W124's, although it can be a leaky engine in terms of annoying little fuel leaks.
With that said, it was kind of tough to get used to how doggish they can be from a stop compared to the earlier turbo cars, but once they get rolling they are great. Perhaps I am biased, or maybe I'm just used to the 0-30mph being a bit "leisurely."
