Homguy: Who am I? I am nobody, and this is not a matter of being biased. I'm talking from experience, real life usage. Those cars are beautiful, they are sweet to drive, but RELIABILITY IS NOT IN THEIR DICTIONARY. If u still dont agree then check consumer reports, at least they don't lie. Audi still got high reliability reviews but Mercedes Benz are not reliably. Would that stop me from getting one? Nope. Again like I said earlier, if u are rich enough to own a Mercedes Benz, then u dont worry about reliability.

Talking from personal experience,MB is the most reliable brand of cars,mostly designed not to park u on D road,but will get home come what may,and their parts are designed to last longer,except there is another meaning of reliable,but if its same meaning as in the dictionary,then MB is designed for ruggedity and reliability.not beauty and luxury,and this is why most top shots go for the benz cos of its design to stand the test of time |

kkulaja: You're wrong, very wrong, absolutely wrong. MB is designed for beauty of finish and luxury. This comes at an expense of reliability. Lemme give you a practical example of what reliability means. I buy a car today (15 year old Tokumbo) but I don't service it, I don't follow normal periodic inspection, all the Xmas lights comes up on my car, I still don't care, everything starts falling off, I still don't care, yet, the car is driven for over 2-3years in this state before it starts giving problem. That's Toyota for you. Old MB can do this, try this with new model MB, you'll cry blood. 2 Likes |

kkulaja:U are either ignorant or don't know what u are saying. Or u are probably referring to the old regular Benz and v boot. mercedes benz are designed for beauty, speed and show off and that is why top dogs go for them. Try abusing a mercedes benz the way u would a toyota and then come back and tell us about reliability. |

kkulaja: When an item is reliable, it is bound to enjoy continued patronage from everyone. Toyota Camry being a best seller is not a Nigerian invention. it is a phenomenon that has its roots in the world's biggest auto market. The average person that buys a car just wants it to take him from point A to B with less hassle. He does not care about the 0-60 times or top speed of 200mph. A couple of people would care about that though but they don't count much. Do I like german cars? Yes of course. I drive an A6. But then I know my camry has been a lot more reliable than the A6. http://blog.caranddriver.com/you-all-bought-so-many-camrys-that-toyota-is-again-no-1-in-the-world/ excerpt from caranddriver: "Camry sales in the U.S. were up five percent, to 428,606. No other nontruck has been able to topple this vanilla sedan for the past 13 years, and with the 2015 refresh, that’s likely to be the case again (hey, you asked for it, you got it)" 1 Like |

kkulaja: So in ur little mind u think Honda rolled out a car from factory with the steering shaking? And u seriously think the US government would let them sell that car to their citizens? Bros think. Go check the number of 2011 accords sold in the US, if it has its steering shaking they wouldn't sell even 100 units. 2 Likes |

abatically: When I say steering shaking,would not be obvious to someone used to driving a toyota or honda,only those used to merc will understand what I mean,its not like a fault,but cannot be compared to the stability of the benz wheels!gbam Saw a red C350 with black wheels on the other lane from lekki to ajjah,admired it.later I saw it has turned and passed the Accord,I started to imagine how I could think of racing with that machine as some claimed they did .I know that machine and I dare not race with it driving honda even though the speed can,the stability is incomparable 1 Like |
Re: Between Accord V6 EX-L And C230 2007 Model Sport Sedan: Pls Advise... by abatically(m): 2:04am On Dec 01, 2015 |
kkulaja: I will ask u a simple question and the way u respond would determine if I will continue this argument. Between a Mercedes Benz c350 and a Lamborghini aventador, which one do u think is more reliable? U seem to not know the difference between performance and reliability. High performance comes with sacrifice to reliability. U can't expect a FWD car to have the same stability at high speed with a RWD or AWD car. |

abatically: ignore him. He doesnt know the difference between steering weight and shaky steering. Folks erroneously think its till a steering is as heavy as a 911 tipper then its sporty and balanced. My RX has a lighter steering than a W203, yet its AWD and its heavier than a W203 C class. |

I realised there are lots of converted W203 in Nigeria,I have seen some to be very reliable,while some can be dirty like a mechanic's.I remember one day @ ladipo,a lady came with same W203 and saw one that its interior is kazeemized and the lasy was like is D car owned by a mechanic wondering what on earth could have made such a reliable car so dirty.meanwhile the said car was converted and develops several issues from its gear to sucking keys,acceleration et al. |

castroevans: There they go again. So in ur little mind u think a Benz doing 100km/hr is faster than a Honda doing 120km/hr. Oga use ur brain, speed is a unit of measurement and its always constant. An airplane doing 60km/hr is not faster than a keke napep doing 60km/hr. So let me ask u, is 10kg of gravel heavier than 10kg feather too? |
Re: Between Accord V6 EX-L And C230 2007 Model Sport Sedan: Pls Advise... by Nobody: 9:35am On Dec 05, 2015 |
For the fact I quoted u does not mean u should disrespect me bruv. Let's look at it via this angle, a V6 running at 120k and a V8 running at 100, which do u think will be faster? And I still repeat, there is no way in this world that ur Honda baby boy will outrun an MB 350. I believe the driver saved ur life by not out running u. Doing a 210 wit a baby boy is a death wish bruv. Talking about doing 60km per hour, how long will u do that without a halt. abatically: |

castroevans: First of all, I'm not the one doing 210 km/hr. Now to answer ur question, first u have to answer mine. Between 10kg of gravel and 10kg of feather which one is heavier? Look, a v12 engine running at 100km/hr IS NOT faster than a bicycle running at 100km/hr. 2 Likes |
