I agree with all displayed complaints and I thought the list of negatives would be complete.
But I found something more: I hate the unbelievable remote and totally unsporting behave of my "downsized" E class petrol engine. Plus...the mpg value is "designed" for EU test-cyclus. In reality, this engine drinks like a guzzler before warmed up.
The trend goes more and more to such a crappy and unsexy design of engines. Even the newest 911 suffers from this development.
