Driveability concerning different models.

Over the years I have driven 1 or 2 examples of all the 'popular' models- 114, 115 123, 124, 116, 126, 140, 210, 201, 107.

While the condition of older cars can vary wildly, these are my opinions, and I wanted to hear some others.

107 and 116 cars all have a similar feel: heavy, well balanced, moderate body roll and excellent tracking at speed. large steering wheel does not encourage 'sporty driving.'

124 - lighter on its feet, higher center of gravity. 201 felt similar, maybe more nimble.

126- my least favorite. Rides harder than the others, yet has more body roll. very vulnerable to crosswinds.

140- Besides the overboosted steering, the best overall. Goes around corners faster than anything its size should.

210- Similar to the 140, minus 1000lbs, and with better steering.

Any thoughts?
