Just about any knowledgeable tech or indy shop owner who has been around for a while, will tell you that the quality, materials, and build on the 124 and 126 are far better than current and recent (210) cars. I have heard this same thing from so many different people, who know far more in-depth about the cars than I do (they repair and maintain them for a living) that I trust what they say, completely. They have no reason to lie.

Cheers,
