I'd always assumed a 240D 3.0 would be an "adequately powerful 240D".  As somebody who lives where its kind of hilly a 240D with its 50mph max sustained hill climbing speed was a drag. I used to hit some hills at 70mph so I could crest at 55. A 190D has the same power but a little less weight

I was astonished when I started driving a TDI and finally had a turbo that's spooled and working at 900 rpm. The turbo is so much more effective on those cars. I've never driven a newer MB diesel, I'd hope the turbo gets going sooner... -Curt On Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 02:51:17 PM EDT,

Always wanted a manual in my 300D. Settled for shifting between "S" and "D" as needed. Turbo is a bit slow to spool up on these, so you'd need to learn to not let the RPMs fall too much during shifts. On Wed, Apr 17, 2024, at 12:00, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote: >
