I've had a 1996 C280 sport for about 3 months now. The other day when i was driving it i noticed that when i floor the car, then push a little bit more, i feel some kind of button engage, and the car goes faster, like it downshifts again. Does anyone know exactly what that is?

That's what we call a kickdown switch (usually downshifts and goes into full on performance mode). It's like shoving a red hot poker you know where!

do all W202's have a kickdown? at least all C280's?

All mercs have this feature.

Most cars equipped with an automatic transmission would have this feature.. As far as I know..
