A TDI Jetta isn't anything like an A class, its a big family saloon car with 150hp, 230 #ft of torque and the fun of a 6spd manual. I can sit comfortably in the back seat with the front seat all the way back. Its much more akin to an E class without that extra MB special something. Its a little

Sure, an A class with the CDI engine could get you maybe 60MPG on the highway. At a whopping 60HP, not sure you'd call it powerful by any standard, but in a very small car like that it's probably adequate. But it's a far cry from an E320 4MATIC wagon on all other measures. Allan Curt Raymond wr

Cost is a factor also. My Jetta is pretty much all three (for a given value of "powerful") but the diesel engine was a significant extra cost when the car was new and helps it hold its value now. -Curt On Wednesday, August 12, 2020, 3:27:44 PM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: S

Safe, powerful, fuel-efficient. Pick two. Mercedes made the A140 at about the same time frame, it had 80HP and got 40+ MPG. Allan Andrew Strasfogel writes: > I still say it's pathetic that they can't do better than that, with all the > advances in modern technology, while still Manufacturing

It's a big, safe, heavy, reasonably powerful car. My Volvo of the same vintage with a V6 gets similar fuel economy. These cars are made for and sold to customers who are not shopping for fuel economy. Allan Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes writes: > I find it appalling that a "modern" Mercedes

I find it appalling that a "modern" Mercedes gets such pathetic fuel economy. Or is this an 8 cylinder model? On Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 12:32 PM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > My 05 was less in better shape but this could be a reasonable deal if > anyone is into wagon
