I would agree that the 220 is much more manuverable than the 140....although I have only driven the 220 for about 10-15 miles.....but I do think that the quality of the leather and workwork is much less.....the 140 just seems to be a much more substantial heavy duty car.........but the true test of the 220 will be how it will age and how easilly it wears...those have always been Benz hallmarks....but it seems that will the last few cars the quality of interior materials has dropped a bit from the car the preceeded it.
