Replying to: vchiu (Mar 22, 2006 11:03 pm) This means that for an identical car, its mpg will be listed higher in the UK than in the US. 1 US gallon = 3.79 litres = 0.83 UK gallons or 1 US gallon = 3.79 litres 1 UK gallon = 4.57 litres or a UK gallon is 20.5% larger than a US, so fuel economy figures will be 20% different. |

Do not know about Serius but just had XM receiver installed in my 2005 CDI  Best Buy for about $150. Works great. The XM receiver fits in the ashtray and you can also close the lid. Does not interfere with any other radio functions or nav. Just BE SURE that you get an installer who knows what he is doing. This is the second E car that I have done this.

VW is much cheaper, gets better mpg, more leg,foot room in back seat and has more dealers in the US.

Replying to: blissful (May 11, 2006 9:50 pm) MB does have a lot of problems with their cars and with so few dealers you can get up the well known creek without a paddle very quick. If I want a nice ride then we can go back to the mini vans. We've had four of those, but with todays fuel prices no thanks.

Replying to: jimlockey (May 12, 2006 5:02 am) the big factor keeping me out of a Benz CDI is the unreliability of MBenz. in my experience and research, the VW TDIs are WAAAAAY more reliable than any Mbenz model. i don't have time to kill half of my workday every few weeks due to some unreliablity/problem with a Benz. one thing that i really miss on the 2005 E320 CDI compared to Y2k E320 wagon 4matic is the "retained heat" feature. imho the features of a Benz are mostly unparalleled but more features basically always brings less reliability.

Just picked up this with only 3500 mi. on it and it is LOADED. The usual HK Nav plus lighting, rear seat pkgs,voice command,dynamic seats,panarama roof,electronic trunk,keyless EZ GO,etc. So far no problems with all the gadgets. Made a fast 700mi. trip and averaged 35.4 mpg. LOVE IT!
