#219 of 286 Re: Comparison Test [hansienna] by beaur May 12, 2005 (7:06 pm)
Replying to: hansienna (May 12, 2005 6:00 pm) Strongly disagree with that comment. Have been comparing wagons for a few months. V70 compares strongly with other Euro wagons in space and the R version has some pep. Beats them in the space/price ratio. Yes its a bit less lux/sporty than the others but its definitely a cut above the Subaru, Hundai, Kia, and is much larger.

Replying to: reagent (Mar 13, 2005 3:19 pm) I just saw your message and would say don't put any child in the 3rd rear facing seat. I had a '98 E Wagon and got rear-ended. Rear glass broke and floor bent. My kids was not in the wagon at the time or they would seriously be hurt. There is just not much protection back there. Better to put child in middle seat.   Victor
#221 of 286 E55 Owners - Wanna have some FUN ? by powerkraus1 May 16, 2005 (10:29 am)
OK guys, I am a freaking mid 40s car nut. Have a highly modified 2003 Corvette with 650 streetable horsepower (no I did not write a check, I built it myself, but there is nothing wrong with just writing a check for it!), and am an orignal owner of a 1987 Grand National. So I have the credentials......and I know how to override the ESP function of my newly acquired E55. So you can really smoke'm up more so than with just hitting the ESP button. Which, BTW does not FULLY turn it off.   So hit the reset button on the dash 3 times, then the up arrow on your steering wheel 2x. And there it is...the option for 'dyno testing' your car. Now, I do not advise this for all you HP rookies...as it fully turns off the ABS & ESP. But when you are done, these babies can lay rubber with the best of my American Hot Rods.   Have Fun and lets Talk more !   Power Kraus Replies to this message: android (Jun 05, 2005 1:34 pm) android (Jun 05, 2005 1:38 pm) mezeca (Jun 05, 2005 9:23 pm)

This may sound dumb, but I just bought a 1999 E430 and I do not know what button to push to turn on the air conditioning.   Please advise it is getting hot out here
#223 of 286 Safety of third row seats by carshopper48 May 19, 2005 (5:48 am)
We are shopping for a vehicle that has a third row. Some of the newer wagons have forward facing third rows (i.e. Ford Freestyle, Cadillac SRX, Chrysler Pacifica). Has anyone seen any reports regarding the safety of rear facing vs. forward facing third row seats? Flauto gave a scary account of the damage done to his/her car in a rear collision, and I am wondering if having children in the third row of any vehicle (be it van or wagon) whether rear facing or forward facing is safe. Thanks for any comments or direction in where I can find the safety information. Replies to this message: elias (May 19, 2005 4:37 pm) albell (May 23, 2005 12:28 pm)

Replying to: carshopper48 (May 19, 2005 5:48 am) we've owned volvos & a benz with 3rd rows, rear facing. i don't have much concern about their safety. safety cage & headrests make them as safe as can be. i figure they are safer in a frontend crash, less safe in a rear end crash. that's just a gut feel opinion...   i think that of greater concern is that children & other passengers don't generally tolerate the rear-facing seats for anything but very short drives. also once a kid is beyond age 5 or 6, they're even less tolerant of the rear facing seats. and try talking to your kid when s/he's back there - it's not easy. craned necks.   we still own a v70 with rearfacing third row but we never use it, especially since we bought an xc90 with fwd-facing 3rd row. and i took thefree xc90 driver training at lime rock - fantastic stuff - imho it is not possible to roll over an xc90 as long as you stay on the pavement.

Replying to: carshopper48 (May 19, 2005 5:48 am) I agree with elias. I don't think safety is the issue, MB makes arguably the safest cars on the road. I am on my second E-class wagon, both with rear facing seats, and have owned anr rented SUV's with forward facing 3rd rows, and hands-down, the kids prefer the latter, expecially for longer trips. However, since I pay for the cars in addition to driving them, I win. What's a little vomit anyway?
#226 of 286 E-Wagons and Navigation Systems by survante May 24, 2005 (8:16 pm)
I am looking to purchase a 1998-2000 E-Wagon. Not sure which one yet but I wanted to know if they can be retro fitted with navigation systems. I've noticed in online photos that the dash console looks rather bland with no LCD screen display. Could someone let me know please?   Thanks!
#227 of 286 press request by kirstie_h HOST May 26, 2005 (4:56 am)
A reporter with a national newspaper is writing an article on fuel-efficient cars like hybrids and diesels. The reporter would like to speak with Prius owners and people who have recently purchased a diesel such as a Mercedes E320, Passat or Jeep Liberty that are happy with their gas mileage. If you fit what the reporter is looking for, please send a brief description via email to Kirsten Holguin, kholguinedmunds.com by June 3, 2005.
#228 of 286 Rooftop cargo for Mercedes E320 wagon by kmacsea May 30, 2005 (1:19 pm)
I have a 2000 E320 wagon and am searching for a rooftop cargo carrier. The dealer has told me that the only Mercedes-manufactured option is one with 8.5 cubic feet of storage space. I need at least 15 cubic feet to make a carrier worthwhile. Has anyone used a larger carrier from either Mercedes or another manufacturer? Thanks!
