You can't fool me !!
* The clatter.
* Ability to smoke tailgaters.
* Manual shift.
* Feeling of driving a bank vault.
You will not convince me a 240D is the inferior car.

Comparing fish with poultry is more accurate.
The 240D is an elegant vehicle doing an amazing range of hard work without complaint.
You know with a little care, the family will enjoy it for generations.
