i saw an e320 cdi on the road the other day, and i almost forgot that MB introduced this model of the e-class recently. has anyone driven one? how is the new diesel engine? it seems like a very complex engine that provides amazing gas mileage and performance....it produces a lot of torque, it's faster than the normal 320 with more weight, and costs about the same price... i'd be curious to hear how it sounds as well...

Do a search here, there are a lot of posts re: this model..

All are glowing reviews except for the fact that it doesn't include a couple of $30.00 extras available in the E500/E320..

Drive it and you'll buy it. It's that good. I have driven many cars in the past. None can compare to the torque (pulls like a freight train), engine refinement, and of course the mileage. I am averaging city 28 mpg and highway 35-37 mpg. Mixed 50/50 I roughly get 31mpg. I have driven approx 650 miles before having to fill up my tank.. Now that's amazing! The sound is pleasant. I personally love the growl of the engine. There is abrely any clatter and if anything, once the car gets going, it is almost inaudible.

I drove it and bought it. Its awesome!!!! . Although I do have a little turbo surge issue, Im sure the dealer will be able to fix it the next time I take it to the shop. Here is a link to the pics of mine

The performance is amazing but for me the real difference was noted this week when I was in the mountains of Northern Arizona. The turbo gave the car the same performance as at Phoenix, which I never had with the gas MB's. It is an amazing car.

I belive the best "mod" you can buy is the E320 CDI
Don't I sound like a salesman? LOL
