I'm new to this site, but I have been checking out several MB sites. I can't seem to find a site that tells me about different motors in the various MB's. Which ones are better (I'm sure they are all good), and which ones are most reliable. I have an 83 240D which I have been told is indestructable. I am looking to upgrade and buy a newer one, but has the performance and reliability stayed as high on the newer ones? I am looking for something between 1990 and 1995. I have been looking at a 1995 C220 at my local dealer, but so far I am not impressed.

Basically, I want to compare engines and find out which ones has stood the test of time and have high quality that MB owners are expecting. Compared to my deisel, everything else looks weak.

I would like some feedback. If I am wrong, please tell me!
Thanks.
