If you still want the best diesel I recommend the 250 GLK BlueTEC which was made from 2013 through 2015. Mine still has the original seven-year-old varta battery which is strong and does not need replacement despite being drained twice in the last month. My most recent fuel economy was nearly 36 mpg, which included off Highway local road travel as well as highway speed.
