Mercedes Benz is not overrated. The technologies around their cars are 'spiritual', even Benz 200/230 series. Do you know how a Mercedes Benz's front wheel turns and bends? Try doing a 360° with a Benz and see the amazing radius. Their mono wiper is another mystery. Benz deserves all the hype it gets and even more. 19 Likes |

Let me try to explain it the way an auto mechanic once described the comparison. Most German cars (Benz) inclusive are desired to work in a certain why, if you adhere to the automakers directives, the car would perform optimally for years. Withe Japaneses cars on the other hand, the makers designed it considering that the users would abuse its use, so often times the car exceed design specs or endurance limits when abused or misused. However the Volkswagen doesn't seem to fit that profile for a German car, as its surprisingly the most widely bought vehicle for some years now. A Mercedes Benz does carry the aura of class and exclusivity, not meant for everyone sort of feel, more like the same way an i-phone doesn't necessarily represent the most user friendly nor best selling phones. 9 Likes |

Philadelphia: Don't confuse reliability with cheapness. Mercedes cars are extremely durable. We still have G wagons from the late 70s and Mercedes 200s from the early 80s. I know someone who owns a 1992 Benz 190, that car rarely breaks down, its all due to regular service checks. That car has a warranty clause that of it Eve capsizes without direct impact, the company will send a replacement! Now beat that! I have driven an infinity fx35, Camry pencil light, Honda EOD and a Benz 190, trust me the most stable o. The road was the fx (due to one of its special shape, but the car felt so light), then you talk about the Benz, (super balance, raw feel). Then talk about the interior, the durability of the finishing, the ambience, luxury is not about fancy blinking gadgets. You can drive a 1970s Mercedes gull wing and still feel real Luxury. Mercedes Benz knows how to engineer their cars well. Toyota cars are produced for the masses and they are cheaper that is why they will always have higher sales (of recent in 2017 and 2018, Mercedes have become the highest selling brand) but don't ever compare it to a Benz. The OP is uniformed, the Benz "hype" is not a Nigerian thing,all over the world starting from the late 60s with the introduction of the Mercedes "gull wing" and the then SEL class, Benz has always been a status symbol representing success and power. The "Benz boys " in Nigeria are even late to the party. Which car brand has provided more presidential vehicles than Benz? See Mercedes is an amazing car. You just need money to regularly maintain it and you will have no issues. And please don't mention Toyota and Mercedes on one sentence again 23 Likes |

In 2018, Mercedes-Benz was the biggest selling premium vehicle brand in the world, having sold 2.31 million passenger cars... Comparing Toyota sales to Benz makes no sense.. Benz is a premium vehicle made by Diamler AG.. Compare it sales to toyota's Premium vehicle Lexus ... Even Donald Trump when talking abt Automobile tarrifs recently said "A Chevrolet or Ford would never sell in Europe the way a Mercedes would sell in the US".. Overrated ke..the best or nothing 11 Likes |

Honestly, Benz is second to none. Most features that can be found in a Japanese car made in 2018 was already in a benz made in 2008. The interior of Benz is awesome and it brings super comfort and confidence. Ever imagined why most presidents use Benz as official vehicles?..Benz is like buying a Gucci in a superclass boutique and buying same Gucci in the street. The difference is there 10 Likes |

rapper12: Shut up let me educate you. Which Mercedes is a match for Rolls Royce in prestige? Is it the overpriced Mercedes S550 Maybach. What? My brother don't let yahoo boys confuse you o. Don't tell me you think having a similar-shaped car in the same price category means the two of them are match. Please don't. Which Mercedes is a match for Toyota Landcuiser, Hilux and Lexus LX570? UN convoys, USA Army and most government VIPs will not touch a Mercedes Benz even if its the only car in the market. These elite do not play with Toyota Landcruiser and Hilux. Even Boko Haram and ISIS use Hilux and Landcruiser for their battle. Talking about speed, the only speed record Mercedes broke is the speed that they use in copying BMW cars. Or is it the speed that their new cars use in getting electrical issues that you're talking about? ![]() If you are talking about Formular One, those things are not street legal cars. Those heavily-modified racing machines are not recognized as cars neither do they determine the company that has the fastest cars. When we are talking about fastest cars, Nurburgring lap times are officially used to measure the fastest street-legal unmodified cars not revved up cyborgs used by racers. Mercedes is not even close to top 10. Also shut up. Toyota is the highest selling and most popular brand in the world both in number of sales and revenue for over a decade and currently. No contest. Volkswagen is the parent company with the biggest sales (if you add up their Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley, Lambo and other sales). And your Benz is not in top 10.[/s] You are extremely local uninformed and naive See the cars you are comparing with a Mercedes? Poverty has twisted your senses It's your type that hype Corolla everywhere Mr man first get money to own a Benz and drive it extensively before talking rubbish .this isn't a car for Uber go and buy a 1999 camry that is your level It's your type who insult those that live in ikoyi because they can't afford it 16 Likes |

I hope you know, the owner of that blog Somtoo Okoye bought a 3m car and gave to his mother 2 years ago when you haven't bought your first iTel to browse nairaland? https://www.nairaland.com/4264674/somtoo-okoye-buys-n3m-lexus And you think he cannot not afford to import an accidented 1.5m Mercedes C300 from Canada that every small boy out there drives?
