Hey guys what do you think about the engine change that happened in the C230 from 1.8 4 Cyl Kompressor engine to the V6 2.5 engine?

the 4 cylinder Kompressor is one of the most underrated engines in its class. It is a strong runner and IMHO produces plenty of HP in the right size and correctly geared car. The V6 main advantage is its torque curve which kicks in around 3500RPM and stays almost to redline. Also, I drove a Kompressor C Class Coupe and was impressed. But I bougt a 2.8 V6 Sedan as the engine response was smoother and it pulled better as your approached redline.
