Mercedes E300 HYBRID

[Styria]

Hybrid is becoming all the fashion nowadays - extra power, better fuel economy (?), more complexity ? Anyway, it is a Mercedes, so I find it (well, will find it) of great interest to read. Regards Styria

Well, this sounds a bit more like it, although to negate its desirability, it is not yet available in Australia. It certainly is a lot cheaper than the Audi Hybrid, and it seems to have some driving features that the others can't match. It is cheaper by about 22K. Euros - say about fifty grand. I'd have the Benz anytime.

I see it has the energy pack located in the engine compartment - any chance of being subject to unduly high heat output by the engine ? Servicing if there were some niggling problems - I wonder. Anyway, I must be more positive. Regards Styria
