6 cylinder. E class is bigger than C and comes with a few more options. Otherwise it's the same basic car. The C is more fun though.

Get the '99 C sport. More fun for your money.

Both are just as comfortable, very nice, and pleasant rides!
Good Luck! And let us know what you decide!

Make sure it's a 6 cylinder. I have driven many 4 cylinder ones and they just feel very sluggish and underpowered.
