Hello List: I am 14 so it will be a while until I drive a D but I was wondering about this. I have driven two cars one of which when I am legally able to drive I will own, it is a Mercedes-Benz 1977 300D (Diesel) the other is a 1997 Cadillac (I hate the Cadillac). The Cadillac has a horrible turning radius and accelerates way to fast (in my point of view). If any of you list members have driven the Mercedes you know they have a great turning radius and they aren't terribly fast (I'm a speed demon but I don't want to kill myself). I was wondering if the D has a great Turing radius and if it didn't accelerate very fast like the Mercedes. Lundin
