[Which is one of the main turn-offs for owning a diesel - at least it is for ME] If any car could get people to at least consider buying 'diesel' - I think the 300 could do it.

Craig!!
I have covered 14500 miles in my CRD, and am amazed how clean the engine is. There is never any hint of exhaust smoke from the car, no matter how hard you push it. The tailpipes are spotless after this mileage, the inside of the pipes are as clean as the day it was made, really amazing. I dont know how UK diesel differs from Canada or USA. This engine is really very good.
