Between Accord V6 EX-L And C230 2007 Model Sport Sedan: Pls Advise... by elusive2: 7:55pm On Nov 09, 2015 |
Good day nairalanders. Kindly assist me as I'm in a dilemma as which to choose. I am a highway driver and i cover an average of 600km weekly. I love the benz class but i also like the looks of the accord. I enjoy driving a lot. Kindly advise which will serve my purpose on the average without frequent visits to the workshop. Thanks a lot in anticipation guys... |

Pls note that the accord is the 2007 model. Experienced auto users pls advise me.... |

As much as the C230 will chew the Accord, the benz is just cramped up to me and miniature I will pick the discussion continues over the C230 I don't enjoy miniature style 1 Like |

elusive2: . . . 600km weekly ![]() That being said, both rides are great, comfortable and reliable i must tell you but pocket-wise they have nothing in common. The 07 c230 is within the range of 2.5-2.7m for a clean-title well maintained tokunbo if not more going by the current exchange rate and import tariff while the Accord stands at a little less/= 2m. Your level of knowledge about automobiles should help you decide, the w203 2007 c230 is kinda/a little complex as regards it engine configuration, diagnostics and otherwise but that should not deter you. Go for what you love, proper maintenance is the key. I have only said my opinion as am entitled to it. 3 Likes |

nurey: The accord V6 is a monster on the road. Faster than a C230. The accord is a bigger car its classified as Midsized sedan, while the W203 is a compact sedan. The Honda Accord EX-L V6 is a much more luxurious vehicle than the W230 even though its classified as a mid class vehicle. Its cheaper to run, own and maintain, parts are abound and technicians are abound. The Accord is sleeker than the W203. The W203 can handle sustained high speeds than the Honda accord due to its drive configuration. 3 Likes |

For size alone, I go with accord but for travelling purposes, I go with the C230, although I know the V6 accord will dust it on the expressway. |

king406: Oga who told u the accord v6 can only go 130mph. Even the i4 can go more than that. I'm an accord guy, but in this case if I'm in his shoes I would still choose the accord, but that is because 2007 c230 sport only come in manual. I would choose the Benz if it was c280 luxury or c350. 2 Likes |

king406: The Honda car makers care about your life and the lives of other road users, pedestrians and environment hence, they limit you from over speeding with the vehicle. (Same thing FRSC wanna do about in a stupid way). Just as some American market mercs are limited too. |

abatically:Oga I'm currently using a 2006 c230 sport with auto tranny, 7G tronic. Wanted to go for the 2007 model but didn't like the increase in ride height, the one I checked also had an auto tranny so maybe the one u saw was a manual. Even if the honda can go more than 130, how do u think you will feel? Do u really trust honda that much to go more than 130? 1 Like |

king406: 130mph is a whole lot of speed and I wouldn't reach that speed for any reason. But a 2007 accord v6 will stay comfortable on that speed trust me. Yes it is natural to feel more secure speeding in a Benz than a Honda. But how do u think u will feel in a 201hp car doing 130mph vs a 240hp car with similar bodies. 1 Like 1 Share |
