I'm sure this thread has been covered before, but I'd just like to know everyone's thoughts. No flames please!

Having owned both, I can honestly say that the W123 feels better built. It's those little things, like how the armrests are actually screwed to the doors, the better quality feel of the switches and door handles, the better sounds that the doors make when you close them, the softness of the door panel padding...

But personally, I think the W124 is a much better driving car. Ride comfort, handling, stability and poise are excellent!

What do you prefer?
