Greetings,

I would personally go with the 300SD as the chassis stance is wider making for a more comfortable ride and more room on the interior as well. I also noticed as I own one that the door panels as well as the overall interior seems to have been built to a more rugged spec and ease of maintenance. I have also owned a 300TD wagon and it dove fine but prefer the wider luxuary the SD has to offer. As far as the a/c goes, mine will freeze you out in not time flat. In the 300SD I kept the R-12 freon and it keeps things nice and cold. On the 300TD wagon I converted to R134 and wished I hadn't as there is a difference in extreme heat as to how the car will cool down and stay there.


Just my .03 worth

Charles
