In addition to the great fuel economy, easy enginework, cheap diy parts, good looks, great diesel sound, great diesel smell, comfortable seats, etc. (feel free to add anything i missed)

The best part is it DOES NOT HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!!!!!

My other car is a 95 volvo 850 with a super sensitive check engine light that comes on whenever anything is not PERFECT. It came on again today. the thing monitors everything from the A to Z. Half the time, the sensors are wrong and nothing is really wrong. I am lucky I am still able to reset the light myself. Newer ones have to see the dealer.

I am never getting a car with a check engine light again.

Thanks for listening guys.
