my humble opinoin is

GO WITH THE TURBO

If you never had to pass anyone you would swear that you were driving a fast car.... It is the only diesel I ever driven that has some throttle response....

Please dont be offended 240d people. I like them But when I saw one in the parking lot yesterday my second thought after, hey nice MB, was that this car is the slowest car ever built... Now that might not be true but they are slow. IF you get a 240d get a stick shift.

Thanks folks
