It drives fine apart from hesitation when you first give it throttle. Not really sure on fuel usage, but I've always thought it was a bit thirsty on fuel compared my 1978 244. Idle is fine. As I said it does hesitate a little, like when first moving off from traffic lights. Every car I've owned has done this though... that flat spot you get where you have to lift your foot back off otherwise the engine wants to stall - then it's fine once you start moving/accelerate more. That only started when I had to start keeping it outside under a tree because the real estate agent won't fix the garage roller door. Most cars I've owned have done the hesitation thing. It tends to disappear once the engine has warmed up. Oh and I was thinking today the oil needs changing. It's been in there well over a year. Bad health has prevented me changing it. I was thinking today that is probably what has killed the O2 sensor. I don't drive much either. About once every 3 weeks on average, and 98% of the time it's 8km then into the supermarket for a couple of hours (so the muffler only starts to get hot then cools down again). Then 8km back home. It's probably not enough for the exhaust system to get hot enough.
