2002 C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe VS. 2003 C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe

So I've been debating for the longest time which one is better. The 2.3L 2002 C230 Kompressor SC or the 1.8L 2003 C230 Kompressor SC. The only thing I know is that it sounds different. (2002 sounds cooler imo). Other than that I figured because 2002 has 2.3L there's more potential with it. Any opinions? Input?

Thanks!~

worth the gas milage

i have an 03 and just to let you know, i get over 40 mpg on the highway with it. i have never put premium gas in the tank, i simply keep it free from carbon buildup by using a Luca's treatment every couple months. it is the smoothest ride i've ever driven, and for the price i definitely recommend it. since the 02 has a bigger engine, i would image it would get less mpg. for me, it's worth the hp sacrifice.
