It's hard to explain, but the 4-spd 4cyl diesel completely changes your driving habits. And then driving a normal car becomes a dead and lifeless experience.
True 240D cult nuts like me believe that every car built ever since is designed to remove the driver from the driving experience.

that's a very good point. i'm not a speedy driver in the first place. the only classic thing i've owned for a while is a '75 bmw motorcycle and i like to drive that at my favorite speed, 35mph !
there is a little concern about safety like ramp entrance and merging. how do you guys do it? how is it with the non turbo 300d with a bit more horse power (80hp instead of 65hp for the 240d) but with an automatic tranny?
