I think I'm done with the long trips for a while though... Is it one of those cars that just begs to be driven, that's so much fun and so easy to drive that you just want to get in it and go? Craig Daughters GL320 cdi SUV, which she has had 6 or 8 months, has been towed into the dealer three times because it wouldn't start. Each time the dealer said it was a defective sensor. If anyones cdi doesn't want to start, not much use in running the battery down trying. Just call the dealer. Other than that, no problems, and she and her husband both love it. It gets about 22 mpg on the highway.
