at the moment i have a w123 240td and a 190d, both have good points... the 240 is very spacious and has a huge load cappacity and the 190 is very economical and a smoother engine. i think a w124 estate might combine those qualities well. which engine do you think is the best? the 2.5, like i have in my 190d, is a very nice engine, but im not sure how it would handel the extra weight, but im worried the 3.0 might be abit to un-economical (i do 800 miles a week so its important!!) thanks for any advice
