first off, HI everyone
starting a family so im after a family car, and after weeks of deliberating i've finally decided on the benz over its german rivals.
still i have a dilemma, what engine should i get?
i'm looking at either the "new" 3 liter v6 diesel 280/320 or the older 3.2 liter diesel unit (what cylinder layout is this?). with the latter there seems to be some good bargains out there
i would like to know from people who have owned both (or at least driven them) what differences you find in terms of power and noise, and also if you find any difference between the newer 7 speed vs the 5 speed auto box.
i did drive the v6 320 in a cls and it sure is a beaut of an engine, but how big is the difference vs the old one?
im also keeping a sly eye on the supercharged e55 amg, does anyone have any experience with one of these with high mileage (like 60-90k miles)?
yes i know im looking at massively different engines but with the prices of the 55's at the moment and driving less than 10k a year i could handle the extra costs.
any information would be most appreciated!
cheers / fred
