so much hate for w210, the e55 of that gen was a great car and even looked pretty good imo (especially from the rear)

Unfortunately most have rusted away though. Which is the primary reason why it was voted for as worst.

Personally for me, it's a tie between the 210 and the 214. The new model doesn't really exceed at anything compared to the 213 and before (except in gaining weight and super futuristic haptics) and it doesn't have any decent AMG variants yet.

The 210 essentially exists to be unreliable so Mercedes would financially gain again with spare parts because the 124 would run until apocalypse. Cool cars, but good luck finding one that hasn't succumbed to age.

W213s were really popular as company cars and premium taxis over here (mostly 200s and 220ds), I'm sure the 214 would've been the same in an alternate reality

the 2.1 diesel is one of the few good engines they still have from what I've heard

Same here, except I remember the 212 being more popular in Germany. Our fleet consists more and more of Lexus

The 210 essentially exists to be unreliable so Mercedes

I think 210 and 211 are similarly (un)reliable. 210 actually had overall more reliable engines. Its the low quality rustproofing/sheet metal that really made it suck. All Benzes in that era were AWFUL in this regard, especially things like commercial vans - a 1960s Lancia submerged in 100% surphuric acid rusts slower than late 90s/2000s Sprinter van in normal winter driving.
