Bluetec Opinions Please

Hello All,

I am seriously considering leasing a C350 Luxury Bluetec. Would like some opinions from other owners on expriences, recommendations, advantages, disadvantages etc.

I drove one and it seemed to drive fine, with not much additional engine noise. Obviously the big plus is the increased gas mileage. Also the lease payment seems to currently be less on this than on the GAS E350's.

Thanks,

ImInPA has a number of good posts (hopefully the link will work) about his Bluetec...

I love my Bluetec. Power and great fuel mileage all wrapped up in an attractive package. What's not to like?

I love mine as well. The wife and I took a leap of faith a couple of years ago when we leased an ML320 CDI for her. I loved how effortlessly the diesel engine moved that vehicle so when the lease was due we bought a couple new Bluetecs. Absolutely no regrets here...
