Marshalrhino: It's so rare. Check out the hilarious photo below. There was a time my dad was driving the family to the East in his W124. At some point, my mum shouted... "hey, enyi, 140km!!! Ha na chu gi? (Are they chasing you?) Biko slow down!" My dad told her "I didn't even know I was speeding, I thought I was making 80km or so". My point is, with Benz, when you're on top speed, you wouldn't feel it. That's how balanced it is. It's like you're cruising!!! 1 Like 1 Share

UltraLeslie: I laugh in martian everybody has got facts and stories, we have owned benz, Nissan, Honda, toyota, datsun. My dad used 4 regular benz for a spate of 10 years consecutively, he was a die hard fan. am not saying benz isnt the bomb, but their are old glory cars that would pass and you would wonder where this ones were dug out from. the most common Diesel engine in cars is no other than the VW TDI engines, from the golf to the toureg to the Audi Q series The most common fuel efficient technology is still the toyota Hybrid synergy drive (prius) No car in the world has beaten the VW beetle in terms of sale and production years toyota corolla is the most sold car yearly Toyota is the biggest automaker in the world followed closely by VW (maybe VW will over take in 2018 according to them sha) benz signed their death warrant in the late 90s, others don take over, lets endeavor to move with the thrend. |

MsDelilah: Well acquainted with that feeling. That engine is a monster. Paid another extra free transporting it to Asaba cos it twisted the rear tires on the bus that conveyed it. Efex transport to be precise, they changed both tyres at their office in Benin. No mechanic wanted to do it in Asaba cos the whole hood was full, they didn't know where to start from so they kept giving excuse and ran away. So I called my mech from lagos and other mech came around with pen and paper to learn . I was stunned when he brought the engine and gear box out on a winch. Gear box alone looks the size of an 04 Corolla engine. My hassle propeller be like trailer own. 1 Like 2 Shares |

BENZ's and BMW's are great cars but with rubbish second hand value! i wonder why, even the latest models... and i am not just talking here in Nigeria even abroad. |

PAQ: pin it on maintenance. Nigerians are used to Japanese cars whose spare parts are affordable,but substandard. Thats is the theory in Nigeria, that "fairly used spare parts are better than new ones" that's coz the new ones are knock offs. then fuel economy is another factor,which is akin to Nigeria's to economise fuel. The star and the bavarians are sporty in nature,even the 4 plug of a star that carries a supercharger works like a v6. In a year,with the rate of sub standard spare parts,one may repair his Jap maybe twice or three times,but an expensive german part can take you years(s) though wear and tear may play a role. |

Danfuster: you just took this facts out of my mouth,with a fishing line of course I drive a c240 with a high mileage but mhen,e de move as if na new.and guess how much the engine costs? 60k coz no one buys it,coz it rarely spoils save for negligence and other acts of GOD. with the money of a brand new JAP,better do a toks Benz. and save the rest. 2 Likes |

nurey: 1) Please don't put Mercedes in same sentence with Datsun, Honda and Nissan. Nice cars and engine alright. But hierarchy frowns at such grouping. 2)Mercedes produce the smoothest diesel engines whose combustion and drive is akin to a petrol engine. 3) What do you term an efficient engine? 4) Oh my lawd!!! Toyota and VW (the people's car) make cars for everyone with no character or muscle) front wheel drive train and boring cars. How the fück are you comparing biggest to best? And why do you think Toyota cleverly separate its luxury brand Lexus from the mass market crap they call Toyota? And why did Audi became known as the luxury brand for VW? Abeg go do your research. Toyota na mass product woth no character for everyone. You know nothing about cars. European cars are fundamentally different from Japanese cars in all segment. After the Italians come the Germans and then the Brits. Korea and Japan and USA are at the lower level. Abeg, Mr, No car on earth drive's in comfort , what is now known as the magic carpet ride like a Mercedes S class. No Japanese car can go round a bend like a BMW or Audi. 1 Like |

PAQ: That's in Nigeria. Because the maintenance isn't like that of Japanese cars. Besides, most cars enthusiasts don't buy cars with the hopes of re-selling. The excuse most people give for not buying German cars is "High fuel consumption", or "High cost of maintenance". Give me a break! As long as you can afford to buy a Benz or BMW, fuel consumption, or maintenance should NOT be a problem for you. True, these factors are very vital when purchasing a car. However, you should buy a car you also LIKE. Not just because it's "economical". 2 Likes |

Mutuwa: People are starting to realize how cheap it is to maintain a benz. You hardly change spare part on a benz unlike the japs, that saves you from "penny wise, pound foolish" |
