That 97 should have been a very nice car...Xenon lights and ESP I think were standard on that model beginning in '97

you are right about the quiet(although not Lexus quiet)...but my particular 140 is a diesel and is still much quieter(inside the car) than the Chevy company car that I have which is new

curiously I always wonder how people in snow climates have dealt with a car like the 126 that big ,rear wheel drive and had no traction control features.
I moved to the midwest the south and I am not evn in what si called the snow belt...but i'll tell you I refuse to look at any car that does not have traction control and preferably ESP
