There's SO much less to break.
OK, I'm comfort-loving, so I did insist on getting one with A/C and fixing it.

About the 240D, just how slow is it? I know that's a tough question to answer. The simplicity really appeals to me and we don't have California freeways around here, and it's relatively flat, but i hear so many comments about the lack of speed. I'm trying to get san idea what it's like to live with.
