The difference between Mercedes-Benz, AKA "German machine," and Toyota, AKA "I better pass my neighbor" lies in their brand identities and what they offer to consumers. Toyota excels in reliability and value; that is, they are very versatile and easy to maintain. No shortage of mechanics, and very affordable parts. They command good second hand value more than Mercedes. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, is often considered "better" in terms of performance, luxury, and driving experience. Although maintaining it is not easy. A former boss once ferried his 2012 C300 to Abuja because we couldn't find reliable mechanics and parts in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital. As a resident of Yenagoa using a Mercedes, you can park your car for days, if you can't find the parts in PH. When I used the Honda/Toyota Camry If I was above 80, It felt like the car was vibrating and wanted to skid into the bush. It was as if the road was dragging the car with me. I once ran into the bush with a Honda Accord on a 90. When speeding in a Japanese car, I'm always scared of flat tires because, at high speed, the car can summersault. I'm just not comfortable with anything above 80 on these Japanese brands But when I switched to 08 C300, see me forming James Bond on the road. The car was very balanced, even if you have a flat tire. Mercedes is in a world of its own compared to Toyota. All in all Toyota is very reliable when it comes to maintenance. Mercedes put big hole for my pocket with maintenance. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Newgoodkk: Mercedes has this luxury feeling that you can’t get in other Japanese cars. The balance, the grace, the comfort and the confidence it gives you. A very special old Mercedes Benz is even called a “classic “ Can you call a Camry a classic? |

Timagex:Chai ! Oga Your Description Na Second to one ooo. Honestly you are Changing My thought ooo. But Another thing is this Jagaban Period .. Fuel Price , Final Question, Is Mercedes Fuel Economical like Toyota ? |

Newgoodkk: Cars were made for different individuals with different needs. If fuel economy is top of your priority, kindly stick with matrix and corrola counterparts. To maintain and fuel a Mercedes is not equivalent to Japanese counterparts. |

Newgoodkk:If you are scared of fuel consumption you should stick to Corrola. Because if you escape fuel expenses with Mercedes, you won't escape maintenance costs, unlike Corrola, where fuel and maintenance costs are not that high. Also, consider secondhand value; from my experience, Japanese beats German here. |

Day169:I don't Understand.. |
Re: Why Does Mercedes Commands Much Respect Than Other Vehicle Products I.e Toyota ? by Day169: 8:56am On Feb 09 |
Newgoodkk:Bro.. 'reliability' is what makes the difference here. With regular use, the Merc would have developed some issues that might require fixing and that's where things could become tricky if not worrisome. As for the Toyota, fixes will be done with relative ease. Let's bear in mind that both cars are probably Toks that may have been bought either as salvaged or auctioned. So, there's a likelihood of further fixes being required within a year of regular use. While the Mercedes is sturdier without a doubt, it's the less reliable and so, the better option for this environment is the Toyota. Hope this explains my claim, Sir. |
