You are obviously much better informed than I am regarding MB products. Thank you for setting the record straight. Looks like there could be several diesel models to choose from in the future when I have to replace either my '02 ML500 or '05 E320 CDI. It's nice to have choices!

Thanks, I learned to hit the aircon button when the windshield fogged up. I use your way and it works well too. Thanks!

By now, it is clear that the new V6 MB diesel for E320 and a few other models are sure things for 2007. The question in my mind is the V6 with 2987-cc in displacement still named 320, by fact, it is just about 3.L, shouldn’t be named E300? On the contrary the inline 6 has the displacement of 3222-cc to be justified 3.2 for E320. Can anybody see the scenario differently? I don’t see any incentive for me to be interest in the 07 models unless the 3996-cc V8 is the option for the new models.

This article mentions that the S-Class diesel will be a S320 V6 model not a S420 V8.

They also mention the R320, GL320 and ML320. Of course the E320 is a given.

11/17/2005 Worst Car ever by MIke M
Style: E320 CDI 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl Turbodiesel 5A) Rating
  
  
4.3
 
Review: This is the worst car I have ever had and the dealership has not helped me one bit. Problems I have had are as follows: Brakes, Transmission, Air Conditioning. 3 times I was driving the car it actually just turned off while I was on the highway. Bottom line this car stinks.
Favorite Features: 4 matic
Suggested Improvements: Get rid of this whole series of cars and start from scratch.

I couldn’t believe my eyes as I was reading the post on Edmund’s E320 CDI rating. How in the world people could fool the other people by just lying something or anything just like the most politicians (even to the highest one). Is a 4matic installed in any E320 CDI so far? I wouldn’t miss the chance to buy such a car, especially in a wagon form! Does anybody out there know this person’s short statement in his rating? According to his favorite features: 4 matic, so how he got an E320 CDI equipped such feature? There are good, bad and ugly people out there!

I saw that and attributed it to a diesel hater. I also questioned the 4matic statement. It would be difficult for Edmund's to police everyone that reviews a car. I would love to have an E320 CDI wagon also. I am watching for the R series with the 320 CDI engine. If I could get the looks past my wife we may buy one.

You might want to click on the link below the review to report it. That will get some attention and if the folks agree - as I do - that that review is not really a "review" at all, something will be done about it.
 
Let us know what happens.

Mileage? by blissful

Just wondering what sort of actual mileage people are getting in city driving with their CDIs?
 
I have only 700 miles on mine so far, so am expecting it will increase. Currently seeing about 25-35, depending on city v. highway. BUT I'm also not sure about the interval of the mileage tracker on the dash display. It looks like it keeps a running average based on the current trip?

I have 38,000 on my 2005 CDI. I mostly drive highway and I am getting 32mpg averaging 70 mph. I checked the computer and that seems to be right on with my calculations when I filled up the car. I just got back from a trip to Omaha (400 miles) and made a point of filling up as soon as I got there so I could measure only highway mileage, still 32 mpg. I spoke to my MB dealer and he said he has customers that are getting 40 mpg on the highway. I' ve never come close. I even tried slowing down to 65mph and the mileage is still off the window sticker of 37mpg. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing lower mileage. I'd like to get at least the 37 highway that the window estimated.
