CarMad Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've not driven either but the newer efficient dynamic cars will give you much better mileage and the better power never goes to waist does it. The latter engine might also save you some ££ with cheaper car tax. Have you looked at the diesels, I went in the latest EF 320d a few weeks ago and it was as refined as many modern petrols with plenty of go.

richy_uk Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mrs Richy has the 150hp 320i in a touring with an auto box and unfortunately, it's a dog of an engine. Doesn't pull well, crap economy and sounds ****e. Tried an ED 320i saloon and it is much better, but without question, the 320d is well worth the extra. Many times, we regret getting rid of her old Merc C180K. Even though that is quite an old design, mated to an auto box, it pulled better and was far more economical even though it was only a 5 speed box.
