What exactly are you talking about in your assessment of; "how a W210 wagon drives/handles?" I don't find that the case of how my W210 "handles/drives" to be problematic whatsoever.

What I find with my W210 is that it drives/handles 'spot-on.' It's the first car (Mercedes-Benz) I've owned that literally does everything well.

As for "rust issues" to a car, any Mercedes-Benz will rust-out if exposed too long to adverse chemical/salts driving conditions.

What I experienced in driving my W126 212K miles, was that they suffered from severe understeer - which in itself is potentially hazardous when driving.
