weyreypey: But Saturday is wahala day na ![]() ![]() Nah, it's all good. He wanted comprehensive so there it is. That's why I hate car comparisons. Too much energy when there are tons on videos online plus a lot of the stuff on paper means nothing when you start to drive the car. Also, people get way too personal. That's why you hardly see me on the vehicle specific threads. Na life and death matter lol I haf leaf eet. 3 Likes |

radautoworks: Sigh, what you're excitedly showing off on your "loaded" MDX is available on a 2013 ML550 but cannot be gotten on an MDX of equivalent year!! Lol , you're constantly contradicting yourself. And for the umpteenth time , lane keeping assist and collison mitigation are not the same as real autonomous driving , . . .those are safety features. A Driverless / autonomous car "navigates" from point A to B with little human input 3 Likes |

About the screen, Lol seriously? . . . this LCD screen is what you're hyping ? what exactly are you going to enjoy on that? very impractical aspect ratio, it's 2020! LCDs are mundane. even the screen on the ML550 is barely tolerable IMO, you can enjoy HD interface with "capacitive" (not resistive as is on the MDX) touch for less than $1000. This is a Kenwood DDX9905s . I have it in a 2008 MDX and its better value than any stock MDX head unit. A 21inch screen Is not a "real world gain" 1 Like

radautoworks:About performance - So let me understand this. . . . An ML550 is heavier than an MDX, but still manges to have way better 0-60 and quarter mile times. Yet in your opinion, the 402hp and 607Nm from a twin turbo V8 are just figures on paper and do not translate to real world gain. ( Lol na wa ) Better Safety Ratings ? Better Safety is not just about saying My car has better safety features . . . . there are standardized safety tests, there are figures. there are " RATINGS" . . . . IIHS tests evaluate crashworthiness and crash avoidance/mitigation, and the 2013 ML has higher ratings Styling I see you're posting the interior and exterior of your car, are you attempting to "suggest" that interior looks better or is more comfortable than a 2013-15 ML550 ??. Now I'm sure your haven't owned an ML550. Most of what you typed which honestly I couldn't completely read is centred around I, Me and My . . . they're personal opinion. For someone who supposedly knows cars you give very little facts The Merc offers heated seats, heated steering, KeylessGO ( push to start) , adjustable ride height, so so many things I don't even care to mention. So Again, . . .what " REAL WORLD " features does an MDX have that an ML550 of equivalent year lacks, As you said earlier, you "lose features" If you move from an MDX to an ML550. I already forgot this conversation even happened 4 Likes |

Lol, Talk about failing exams , and reading without comprehension The only place the Mercedes ekes it out because it has more horses and torque out of the gate HOWEVER, it is heavier and it doesn't really translate to gain in the real world . That was your comment on performance which I refuted. It Had nothing to do with the question about enjoying all 400 hp. Stop juxtaposing statements AGAIN, IF THERE ARE RATINGS YOU KNOW, WHY DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO GIVE THEM TO YOU AND WHY DID YOU ASK AT ALL? Lol but I never asked, you make up your own question as usual. I stated a fact that the Merc is rated higher in that dept, and you gave another My Car response . . . .as usual 12 years in the business and you cannot do a "FACT" based comparison , or articulate autonomous driving ? Owning a barbershop doesn't make you a barber, you can own one for 50 years and not know how to hold a clipper. Calm down with the expertise talk. Acting like it's the King of all Achievement? Lol, Sorry o Madam that has owned all the Mercedes Models, I forgot. I have test driven thanks and God Bless 2 Likes |

TransAtlanticEx:Lol @ first paragraph. Me sef weak the same way she's driven all the models and classes, she knows those who belong to the Benz Club. Acura makes some of the best value for money cars, hands down. And the MDX is one of her best models. Infact I was looking at moving to a 2016 MDX, before an encounter steered me towards the 550. I did some research and found it to better suit what I needed. To blindly argue that you "lose features" when you move from an MDX to a 550 ![]() 1 Like |
