Thanks for all the replies! I am at a loss for which i would want. I have a 16v, so i know how peppy mercedes can make a 4 cyl. This is going to be a difficult decision to make because they are so similar. I guess ill just have to go out and test drive them both, its just hard to find two sport models and someone willing to let a college student test drive it...

Thanks for the help, by all means don't stop, I still have no idea what is best, if one has an edge somewhere ill probably take it.
