I tested a 1996 C280 Elegance prior to my purchase of my 1999 C280 Sport Edition with the V6 engine.

The difference was that the acceleration. The Inline 6 needed more time to pickup speed. The V6 has more power and more torque, and it runs smoother than the inline 6. In normal driving conditions the V6 picks up speed fast.
