Thinking man (or woman's) 1
 Great enthusiast's car.  Does all the things that count very very well.  Excellent communication with the driver.  Practical and affordable enough (at least for the 128) for the DD.  Price is reasonable if you don't need all the extras, and you really don't.  135 is a thrill ride but was overkill and all too hazardous to the health of my license.  128 is plenty powerful, brakes are too, also lighter and better weight dist.
