So check it out, you're in the market for something nice right? You just got a decent paying job out of high school and you think that you've "grown" past compact autos right?
Okay fine, but what luxury vehicle can offer the gas mileage and the comfort that your newly working ass deserves?
Well search no longer, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec is your answer!
3.2L V-6 Turbocharged! Off to a good start!
Now the 208 horsepower is hardly going to impress anyone, considering certain Honda/Acura's can produce that easily. But what can you say about the 400-lb-ft of torque that is produced between 1600-2400 RPM? Hardly a Honda that can produce those kind of numbers!
Not too mention the fact that it gets an EPA fuel rating of 23/32MPG! Other independent reviews have confirmed that this big Blue has achieved 34MPG on mixed driving!
Now it costs a bit more, about a grand more, and the savings in gas compared to the standard E350 may only be about $2000 in 4 years of ownership, but its not just about price is it?
Well this car also leaves a very eco-friendly foot print! Putting out 97% lower emissions than the previous diesel models, this model is a role model! Not to mention the new urea based exhaust system which was necessary to make it legal in California! Which seems a bit strange considering that you have to fill your urea tank once every 15,000 miles but hey, its worth it for the environment right? So don't forget that this takes diesel and urea and you should be good to go!
