king406: I mean, in size, I don't fancy small vehicles.... Why should I buy a corolla for 1m when I can get a camry for same price? And what's the difference in fuel consumption in C230 & C300? In traffic/city driving, .... Hmmmm... But the o.p does mostly highways ... It doesn't matter. And if I may add, bigger engines are more durable than smaller ones... I'll rather pick C300/350 1 Like |

oweniwe: C300 in 2007? That is not correct, if you want a C300 then you will be looking at the 2008 C 300. |

oweniwe: Lol! Consider the C280 or the C320 for 2007, but they do not have the sporty look of the C230 Kompressor or 2.5liter C230 V6. I love the way the rear tyres are wider than the front tires for the C230 line. |

youngice:Bros no b small tin o! That night i begin think twice. I recall how anoda s class (that one with small pointed trunk) approached me one sunday afternoon along abuja.kaduna expressway. I was just feeling cool doing 170km.hr in my 406 ew12 wen all of a sudden from nowhere i noticed a car flashing me from behind. Wen that car got to my behind i no know. The guy kept on flashing me to give him chance but instead i traficated left. The next thing i saw was the guy traficated right and through my right side the guy zoomed past me and left me dumbfounded! Chai! What is the meaning of this? ? I asked myself. I didnt know i was unconsciously following the car until i noticed my speedo on 210km.hr. immediately i removed my leg from the gas pedal. By this time the guy don disappear from my view. You wont believe i approached a check point about 5mins later with about six cars on the queue but i didn't see the s class. There and then i started thinking about owning an MB.

elusive2: elusive2: Stop over speeding, its wrong, its illegal besides, I no trust Peugeot's brakes system. All Peugeots I've test driven none have a brake system that gives me confidence. Besides, I've seen with my own eyes as a Hummer number (Toyota hiace bus) which was fully loaded tried to over take a peugeot 406 in Zuba, both of them started racing, an unfortunate student of College of education crossed the road, the bus and the peugeot stepped on their brakes, the bus came to a halt, but the Peugeot brakes locked, sliding the car till it hit the girl who died on the spot, and then the car stopped some yards. On sensing the danger, he zoomed off. |

Have any of you done the Genesis before. MB is no doubt a good brand, but other car makers have been able to teach them a lesson or 2 in so many ways. Stop this MB is the ish thing jọọ.

Folks dont know all about constant kinetics and speed. When a car A is doing a constant 160km/h, and car B is 25m behind yet doing constant 160km/h, theres no way B will catch up with A. If a honda accord V6 gets to 160km/h in 23secs, and a C230 does 160km/h in 27secs, theres no way the C230 can meet up the accord unless the accord decelerates or the c230 accelerates. 100km/h in accord is still 100km/h in MB (assuming both has same speedo error margin and are at constant 100km/h speed). Reason why the accord migh not feel much more involving to drive is becase of its drive configuration which is FF whearas an MB is FR/FA, the suspension setups and weight distribution. That said, the Honda has a much lighter tuned steering than the MB, its also got a multi link rear suspensions with upper and lower arms in front which is a very engaging setup and offers some sporty feel to the Honda. Verdict: the honda accord V6 will rape the MB C230 over and over. Source: real life testing of both cars on a constant 120km/h cruise for a 76km distance in which the honda never gave me any lag but i felt lagged in the MB. 1 Like |

kingreign:there are so many factors involved. His brake pads must have been exhausted, low hydraulics or something. Coz I know how good the ABS system of a 406 prestige is. It's excellent. He probably didn't apply the brakes properly. In such situations, you pump the brake pedal, not placing your foot on it until the car halts. 1 Like |

elusive2: NO. It's either 1. The car's abs is not working, hence u probably have the abs ligh illuminated on the dash. 2. Or u are just ignorant and don't know how abs works. Pumping the brake when abs is equipped will only distrupt the work of the abs. U can as well disconnect the abs. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is a no brainer. Nobody makes reliable machines like the Germans. Mercedes Benz is naturally superior to the Honda, especially since you travel a lot. |

ShammahBarnabas: Wrong. The Germans make beautiful, luxury, fast and expensive machines. But they are not known for being reliable. The thing is if u are rich enough to own a Mercedes Benz then reliability is the last thing u should think about. |
