Thanks for all the info - especially about the C230 with the 7 speed being a bit of a mis-match. What it will come down to - if the trans is OK and there aren't any big QC issues on these cars - is how much my wife wants the extra 3 mpg on the C vs the E.

Anyone have any pros or cons on the C coupe?
