Whilst I am having a paint repair done to my E320CDi Estate I have been using a C220CDi Saloon.

Nice car, but I am having a touch of claustrophobia as it is much smaller inside than my E Class.



Naturally the performance is a lot different but the main surprise is the Fuel economy.
I am getting 41 MPG (UK Gallons) going around in give and take conditions.

As it is a loaner the company purchased the Basic "Elegance" specification without any extras.
However this is still a good spec for a reletavly cheap car.

Speaking to the Manager, who run 12 of these to loan out, he says the reliability is 100%.
Mine is 15 Months old and has done a little over 25k Miles.
Showing no sigh of wear anywhere which has to be good as the drivers usually dont give a damm.

You boys will love these Diesels when they finally turn up in the US.
