Just drove a friend's '04 a couple of hours ago. I love the acceleration, tiptronic transmission and brakes in particular. The 2.6L V6 feels very nice and powerful. Drive was great and comfortable...only felt the steering was a bit on the sensitive side. Pretty much one of the only things I didn't like is coolant temperature being selected though the menu inside the speedometer, so to speak. Would've been better if it was a forth gauge along with the speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge. Other than that...sweet car, even though my preferance would be a GS 300 over it.

 

how's the accel of the car though? i wonder if it's too weak

 

There're lots of E240 in HK, of course big hp is not important there with most of its roads . . .

 

Actually acceleration was pretty decent...would make an ideal daily driver.

 

No doubt.... considering most E's outside of the North America are E200K's, E240 is more than adequate.

 

E200K is only 1.8L with compressor.
