abatically:very safe and willing to go faster. Have tried that more than twice! U just have to see the difference between German automotive engineering and Japanese. Don't misquote me am not saying Japanese cars are bad, anybody that says that proves he doesn't know anything about automobiles. The almighty Nissan gtr and lexus LFA proves that right. But the Germans are better. I just wish u can drive that merc for two good days. |

I just hope all of us talking about the performance of these two vehicles have driven them both, not quoting what they saw on the net. U will surely enjoy ur honda in city driving because it accelerates faster, less weight than the Merc and more space. But when it comes to journey and freeway driving, that honda doesn't stand a chance. Mercedes benz are very heavy cars, u will need to stand on that throttle for it to move, but when it does, na only one God oh! I don't think that the honda having more HP than the Merc proves that it is faster. Put them both to test, LIVE, and see how it goes. OP I suggest u do that. U will end up buying the Mercedes. 4 Likes |

king406:Honestly before i started this thread i test drove the accord and the c230. Even though the honda felt smarter and sleeker on the highway, i could develop the courage to hit it up to 100m/hr as it became lighter as the speedo climbed. The next day my car dealer brought the c230 2007 to our office which i test drove. The smart take off of the honda was missing in the MB but i hit 110m/hr even before I knew it. Car felt stable and safe. I didn't feel this over speeding feather/unstable thing which i got with the accord. There, my confusion came. The interior space and aesthetic beauty of the accord is tempting so also is the feel of strength and pride the c230 offers. Chai which one i go do? 1 Like |

king406: german automotive technology are not comparable with japanese, they are poles apart. most german machines aren't mass market cars, and even the luxury arm of japanese(acuras, infinitis and lexus) are still trailing behind german metallic beasts. if you repair cars, you do know which technology is better, from suspension, to steering & manoveurability to engine durability to name it. to cap it, except for accord of 2013 upwards, that them ball joint ish is a no no for me 1 Like |

king406: Am a Benz enthusiast,......but then I know for a fact that a V6 2007 Accord has a top speed of 160mph, and not 130mph. Acceleration wise, perhaps the Accord will dust the C230, but it ends there. On a long stretch of road, the C230 will eventually beat the Accord hands down. Most 2007 C230 are V6. It's the 2005/06 C230 Kompressor that is usually I4 |

If you're comparing a Mercedes to an Accord then just get the Accord. You don't need a Benz, you want one in order to experience the marque. Good luck on your decision 3 Likes 1 Share |

hkwills:I made my friend sell his '03 MB E350, when he raced hard against my '02 Acura TL and was gasping for breathe while I easily dusted him without even pushing the car hard. He later upgraded to an MB S-class, I can't remember the numeration now, and has been begging to race me again in order to placate his bruised ego, but unfortunately for him I have downgraded to a Honda Civic. He is still licking his wounds till today. He is a Nairalander. @ d Jay-Man, I hope say you dey read my post? Lol... |

FlyboyZee:a Japanese v6 will surely defeat an MB in city driving/race due to the heavy nature of MB, even the 550 models that have a 5.5 liter v8 take about 5.5secs to hit 60mph, a 3.0 v6 Japanese car will do that for u in about the same time because it has less weight. But on the long run, those japs don't stand a chance. Anything from 80mph and above, u will think that japmobile is reversing.. if u ask me, MB are not meant to be driven very fast like a maniac in the city, I think that drops their class, u are not even suppose to drive more than 70mph in the city and accelerate moderately, maybe that's all part of the German engineering , u wana race, get on the freeway or get an open road! 7 Likes 1 Share |
