Yes.

It is just that i drove a 118d for three month. It is rated at 144hp and gues what: Already enough power and plenty of pickup. And while doing 220 kmh/ 135mph (top speed) most of the time I averaged 37 MPG. If I'd be to drive more tame 49MPG and up is not impossible.

What I want to say is that it does not always have to be the very biggest engine.

I cannot wait to see the 120d or 123d beeing introduced to the US market. These cars are plain awesome.

And yes, I already know that I will be the one to yell the loudest as it comes to test driving the new engine... ;-)
