When it comes to relatives and cars I tell them if its MB I'll fix it, if its German I'll try, and if its not, I'll do its oil change and thats all.

Our TDI, despite its shortcomings, still has a solid/teutonic ride and feel, so it doesn't cause a bad MB withdrawl. However, it is too small and much more cramped than any W201/W123/W124/W126 by far. And way smaller than a W210. I'm planning on trading it for a ML Cdi next year if I can find one....or a W210 wagon.
