Not that you need any reassurance in the car you drive, but I'd love to have a car with a diesel engine like yours. Your Benz is beautiful, but even if it were a diesel Volvo, just with a better engine, I'd happily drive it over a gasoline-powered car.

I'd save money with it, due to the comparable prices in fuel and the better gas mileage with a diesel, and most diesel engines today have a decent amount of power, at least against the B230F. The *new* diesel cars are quite awesome--I'd love to have a (turbo) diesel VW Jetta/Golf or one of the Benzes. Some of the older diesels are smelly and nasty, but I realize that they're not at all representative of diesel cars in general. I wish this technology were more prevalent here in the States.
