Reviewed my own Coupe...
So I'm a Journalism major with huge aspirations to write for Car and Driver. So as part of some practice I have a blog put together with a friend of mine with the same exact interests.
I decided that every car I drive/own I'd review fully. So I decided to review my coupe. Tell me what you guys think

I'd be a lil more critical of the handling (neutral tending to understeer, steering is far from communicative although it does the job,) responses (slow accelerator take up and kickdown (you did sorta mention it) and monstrously poor headlight illumination (much more evident on the pre facelift models.) Really no excuse as BMW did excellent headlights in that same era.
But otherwise pretty much spot on. Excellent car. Add an overdrive, better headlights, bigger anti- roll bars, and its perfect. And for the audiophiles, some tweeters in the A pillar.

not bad, but i would have used the words "death trap" or "coffin" when referring to volvo. also, u didn't mention one of the most unique features of the w124 coupe....the automatic seat belt extenders! maybe Ur's don't work
also, when describing the seats u didn't mention how they r fully adjustable,power and have memory settings! other than that pretty nice review. BTW, the reason the rear seats side bolsters feel better than the front seats, is because they've only been used say a tenth of the front seats.
