My first impression is great, but I'm a little dissapointed on the acceleration. This is my first diesel so maybe I have to get used to it. (Do I?) Anyway, I will try to enjoy it. If you have any suggestions please post them here...</P>


Thanks.</P>

Forgot to mention the year. It is 1996 E300D.</P>


Somebody told me it will last forever. I hope he's right <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">. It has 87Kmiles.</P>

Kichus, I think you will just have to get used to slow starts with a diesel. I have adopted a whole new way of driving based on the fact that my car (MB 84 300d) is not fast. I just can't be in a huge hurry anymore!! It has a whole lot more to make up for it though and I am less likely to get killed!! As rcgiddings says; 0 to 60 in five minutes.</P>
