| W211 - very nice impression!
Got the wagon on Fiday night and 24hrs later my first check-out ride is done. I'm in Grand Junction, CO, right now and let me tell you I'm really impressed by this fine Mercedes.
Didn't need to take any spare parts or tools just packed the H&K(personel protection unit) and my Kevlar suit for driving through LA County......
26.6 mpg on this 670 mile trip with 73 mph average, filled up in Victorville, CA and non stop to Richfield, UT, I really like that.
The cruise control kept the speed by the programmed number, up or downhill - not like my Ford Diesel truck.....
Are the brakes being used to control the downhill speed?
I certainly will be very happy with my new ride!
