2.3, same as the SLK.

Being the last year of the W202 body, this car has all the improvements that MB added over the lifespan.
It's noticeably smaller than the E class, which might be an advantage in The City.
Reasonably economical, a bit over 30mpg on the highway, as well as sprightly.

I own a W211 as well as several W124s, and while the W211 is very nice, it is much more complicated.
I enjoy the W124s, but they are too old for your criteria. Personally, I would not own a W210 (96-02 E class) due to quality and reliability factors.
