(Why don't YOU buy it and then tell US all about it..? That makes more sense surely!) Because thats what this forum is for - working for us BOTH WAYS ! You misunderstood the tone of my post, chap.  I was jokingly giving you justification to go out and buy one... "Sorry wife, I know I said I wouldn't, but it's for research, you understand..." that kind of thing. That's the trouble with black and white text on a forum, intonation, inflection and facial expression don't carry. |

I have one languishing, waiting to be dug out and revived. Very thirsty for pottering about, even with the gearbox in "economy" mode. The saloon models are cheaper than the estates as the wagons are a bit more useful (and a bit less awkward looking IMO), but the saloons have a ski hole behind the arm rest for long stuff, boot is still massive. This one is a GLE; climate control, electric heated seats, plastic walnut everywhere, premium sound system (it says so in the front!), and really, really comfortable.  |

I had a 1996 3.0 CD estate - 204bhp - auto - wonderful thing.
The engines are not as robust as the older 4 cylinder red blocks - head gaskets can go, and watch the rear self levelling suspension - struts can go, and they're not cheap. The rear suspension is more complex than the 940's. Trim wise, the door trims all ruck up by the window. Ugly and difficult to repair.
I loved mine, very tempted to try and find another.
