The 300E's with the 2.6 share the same engine and transmission with the 190E2 2.6.

The 2.6 liter engine is just a smaller version of the regular 3.0 liter engine. They are both M103 engines. The regular 300E's with the 3.0 liter engine have a different transmission.

They are both equally reliable, but the 300E (2.6 or not) should be a little easier to work on because there is so much more space in the engine compartment.

The dimensions of the 300E are nearly identical to the 1996-2001 E320. The dimensions are also almost identical to the current generation Honda Accord.
