I don't see how anyone can say the 210 has a heavy steering feel. I have a 98 E320 as well as an 88 300E. The 98 definitely has a quicker, lighter feeling than the 88. To me, the W210 chassis is one of, if not the best chassis ever made for a sedan. A front wheel drive japanese car is not even in the same league. I think you should question your dad's understanding of what makes a great car.
