From what I read about the 135 it was a bit of an animal, which kind-of put me off. One day my car came up for sale, it ticked all the right boxes so I snapped it up. My desire for a manual transmission pushed me towards the 135.
The 128 on paper was a good compromise between the subdued non-turbo 125 and the more balls-out turbo 135.
On a side note, I miss my Subaru. The dual-range transmission made it very versatile, I got into and out of some very awkward places in that car. The scars on the bumper were from a drive on a dry, very rocky creek bed.
