Hey Paul , Long time no "see". What about reliability comparison on the 230's vs the 280's overall and engine / wise ?

I did see that in '97 MB may have stopped using the older wiring harness that my '93 came with.

The 1998-2000 C280's have the V6.

As you've read, the C230's get better gas mileage, but the engines have less power and less refinement.
