"....will haunt his grandchildren"
Highlights from a current DC Craigslist 240D ad -
"These were the last of the over-engineered Mercedes Benz cars, built not to compete with Lexus and Acura, but for maximum durability and reliability. This engine has no overly complicated computer controlled emissions or electronic systems, making it virtually immune to EMP -- perfect for bugging out after the apocalypse. Addicted to texting and driving? Not in this car. The low-revving diesel and manual transmission keep you engaged. You will be too busy driving to text. Do you keep racking up speeding tickets with that lead foot? With it's leisurely acceleration, you will be more concerned with achieving the speed limit. Not worried about exceeding it. Did that rotten teenage son borrow your car and return it without gas? Hand him the keys to this. No punishment could surpass the embarrassment of picking up a date in this. The look of disappointment on his date's face will haunt his grandchildren. Bonus, your child will learn the lost art of driving a stick shift. You've heard the axiom: "it's better to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow". This is the absolute truth, and to wring the most performance out of this car is hugely fun. This car uses 100% of it's potential, and performs tolerably well when driven expertly. " Happy Motoring, Mark

Going by this ad there won't BE any Grand children. If she won't get in the car there's no future there.
A flaw in the logic. Dan |

So many of the reasons I got my daughter a 240D with a manual.
But he left out "it's too damn noisy to talk on your cell phone".

Even if she gets in the car he'll never get her into the back seat.

Who cares? The front seats recline all the way.

That became an important feature of my 190E when I found out the paintings I had to pick up from an estate sale were wider than the car.
As for other related topics, in high school, some of my friends and I snowed another friend how he could maximize the space in the back of his HHR. "You can move the seats forward? Wow!" Might be related but he is the worst driver I know. I never rode in that car again, partially because of the fact he didn't know how to drive partially because of the point of the space improvements.
