C 180 cars
I drive a 1994 C 180 4 speed auto and it goes adequately for me and wifey. However when we are forced to take 2 more people, it gets a bit too heavy for the motor especially when we have to go on hilly roads where the kick down is activated often to keep up speed. It is very disturbing and a bother. I also drive a 5 speed auto 1997 upgrade and this is a lot better with gear changes done by itself without kickdowns most of the time unless very steep upgrades. This one seems to have a greater kick in power, quieter motor at idle and takes heavier loads easily. It revs about 2600rpm at 100kph while the 1994 does this at 3000rpm or just under. Why I don't know. My Camry does it at only 2200rpm. Maybe its the gear ratios, power or overall weight. The Camry is of course a 2.2ltr.
