I would suggest a 124.

I drive my 190 30+kmi per year and I appreciate the amenities and the maintenance of the 60x engines over the 61x engines.

Most on this list love the 123's. I agree they are great cars. I have a 123, a 126(617) and a 201. All diesels. My daily driver is the 201 because I would rather pound miles on the 60x engine rather than the 61x engines. the 60x engine has been the most reliable and the highest mileage.

While I may be one of the few that prefers the 60x to the 61x engines, I own both and to me the choice is clear.
