Why? I prefer gasoline any day... mostly because it sounds better :P. And we have 3.5 Liters' 
(the 220 has 170 hp...)
But any C class is a good car, so congratulations on the buy, ericwu

Hello Len, Do you have 400NM of Torque ? The 220CDI has. The diesel sounds as if it has ***** not a powder puff

I drove without heavy acceleration , changed the speed regularly & down shifted early to prevent any engine labouring for the first 1000 or so Km.
I carry a clean cloth in a plastic bag in the boot to wipe any dust / dirt from the fuel bowzer nozzle when refueling. You would be amazed at how dirty the cloth becomes. Dust & fuel pump/ injectors don't mix.
I try to avoid drawing in dust into the air cleaner eg don't travel too close behind trucks & decellerate when passing vehicles on a dusty road.
You have a great vehicle there. Hope you travel many trouble free & enjoyable miles .
