coming from the aircooled world (like me) you'll fit right into this world. Same kinda feel to the cars and engines. Like aircooled VW's, these things are more like machines than they are cars. In fact, I feel like i'm operating some kind of tank when im driving the 300, which is a very good feeling. The 300D is a old-world car....with a feel that no new car will ever give you.
