They don't tend to get scrapped though, hence my bafflement.

They don't rust and are eminently and endlessly repairable.

190s aren't as roomy as the W124 E Class, so the non sporty models are sometimes not as desirable, but they are handsome, comfy, solid, reliable little cars and come from the same chassis family.

Seems a bizarre choice of car to abuse in this way.

Having been the passenger through the early 1990's and subsequent owner of a W202 rust issues aside, the latter was FAR superior.

W124 is not really comparable IMO! 190 to me will always be a hateful car. Maybe the example I was carted around in was an exception, but my god did the tech improve in a very short period of time.

Speaking of which, there was a fith gear ep where they trashed a W124 estate

Yeah, I saw that Jam. Hateful, wasteful 5th gear bastards.

In my experience the 190 is more reliable than the C Class. I'm tall though so have never particularly enjoyed driving either as they are both too cramped for my frame.

W124 though. I bloody love them. Short of a Silver Shadow, best comfy cruiser ever.

Edit: That said, I think i'd be willing to put up with slightly cramped quarters for an Evo II 190
