Well then let me insert some. I LOVE driving the car. Its quick, it handles well, and its comfortable. The engine is TINY, puts out 90hp 150lb/ft and sips fuel gently. When we went to Michigan last month we did 1500 odd miles with the car loaded full and running 80+ mph it turned in 47mpg consistently. In summertime commuting its gone as high as 55mpg and in the winter hovers around 50.
The oil filter thing can be blamed on a very tight engine bay, its a small car, and an over zealous oil change monkey. I got the filter it had when I got it out with much less trouble. I do need to remember for next time to not fill it more than half full as it has to be tilted when installed and its hard to grip when its oily. -Curt ________________________________ From: Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: Craig <diese...@pisquared.net>; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Friday, August 1, 2014 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] What a day...
