I love it and hate it !

[IceBoy]

Well my s211 E320cdi (53-reg) has caused many, many problems in the first 6 weeks of ownership.....as many of you know....to the point where I started to hate it.....I kind of brought a Lemon!!

Today I drove it 180 miles from cold (so had a few miles of rough gears changes) and had a very heavy foot!

90% motorway and 10% town driving, with 25 mins stuck in traffic on the M25.

I averaged 44.3mpg !!! Well that was on the ODB.....I was always in the 3rd lane and the car was in its element.

This thing is a real cruiser/bruiser !!

I love it today !

One of the best looking cars to enhance any driveway. Hope you're keeping it polished

Seriously, hope you get to drive it soon, but in the meantime take comfort from just owning it
