Driving character: an 'adult' sport sedan measured against the E30 and Miata

Mercedes-Benz 190E / 190D (W201) · driving

Owners describe the W201 as planted, solid and big-car-feeling despite its small size, a refined and 'adult' take on the sport sedan rather than a raw one. It is repeatedly cross-shopped against the E30 3-Series and the Miata, coming out ahead on ride quality and structural solidity in these owners' eyes.
