116s have a bit of reputation for rusting away. They are gorgeous cars, and if sorted they are wonderful. Most people report mileage in 26-28 range and I believe that they don't have emissions controls to worry about - at least I don't think 78-79 do, not sure about 80. There weren't too many of them transported here, and generally are considered to handle better than the 126s. I seriously was considering one, but I didn't see any in good shape for sale, and the 126s are so much more readily available in my area that I went with that.
