Sweet handling and sweet riding cars. Pretty quick too. Not very good fuel economy though compared to modern cars. You will have trouble getting much better than the low twenties on the highway.

They are not mb and although the engines are very robust nothing else on them comes close to the durability of a mb in my experience.
