Class 323
My favourite EMUs and one of my favourite trains and they are by far the trains I travel on most frequently as they are the trains that serve the local line where I live. In my opinion they are the the Best EMUs ever made and they never get old or boring despite the fact I travel on them pretty all the time. In fact I ride on them just for fun they are absolutely fucking awesome trains they sound awesome and amazing, they have extremely fast acceleration, they are also extremely comfortable and smooth riding even at high speeds and on the topic of high speed they frequently exceed their official top speed of 90 mph they quite frequently around 95 to 96 mph even 97 mph on several occasions, they hardly ever rattle or vibrate, they are extremely reliable and despite the fact they're over 30 years old they are extremely spirited and spritely and they can outclass the performance and accelerate faster than a lot of the newer and more modern suburban and regional EMUs.
They're far better than the fucking horrible Class 331s which also operate on my line. The class 331s are fucking awful horrible and horrendous in every way the seats are extremely uncomfortable and are like fucking ironing boards, they rattle all the time, they not only vibrate and are extremely rough riding especially at speeds of over 90 mph but they also hunt and oscillate and they are extremely unreliable units which constantly break down despite only being in service for about 5 years.

Me when my train turns up and it's a 323: Yes! It's a class 323 not a horrible 331.
In fact the only modern suburban/regional EMU near where I live that can outperform and out accelerate the Class 323s is the Class 350 Desiro which are like a slingshot in acceleration and by the way the 350s are awesome units and very smooth riding and comfortable even at 110 mph.
I hope they preserve these units when their time comes Luckily the class 323s are not going anywhere anytime soon as they have got still got lots of years left ahead of them but when sad day comes and they are withdrawn I hope at least 2 of them get preserved 1 West Midlands Unit and 1 Northern Unit.
