Testimonial on E 320 CDI
I was driving through Boca today on the way to a job meeting when I saw an E Class pull out of a side street right in front of me. I was running about 60 in my F-150 Super Crew and got ready to hit the brakes hard. Instead, the guy in the E class nailed it and never even came close to getting hit. I figured it must be an E55 or at least an E500. At the next light I pulled up behind to find that it was an E320 CDI!!
What really impressed me was the fact that there was no smell, very little smoke and that car pulled away like a raped ape!!!
Very impressive...not to mention 37 MPG EPA highway!!

Torque on tap!
I am always amazed at how much torque is available for passing! My '06 will accelerate effortlessly from 45-60, and be at 80 in no time! You really have to watch where you're going since you can cover quite a bit of road.
I haven't seen 37 mpg (yet), but I have averaged 34 mpg on the highway.
Now if I could just get the automatic trunk closer to work!
