S60 is an economical vehicle fuel wise.... The parts and maintenance I'll leave valarinz to that.

There's nothing like a v4 car engine... It's called I4.
Now on Mercedes and Volvo's... Some people don't like to travel ordinarily... But luxuriously.... Get a tokks 190 and keep praying for me. Fuel economy is not the only consideration in buying vehicles....

Some just buy class!!!

Not everyone can risk his life on the southeastern roads in a old avensis wagon like a major Kazeem here.

For me I can't enter a Honda car for a Trip.... My younger brother diportivo is love vending his xterra and will probably laugh at exchanging it for a VW golf

Wicked grin grin grin

Check the model again bro. S40 and v40 are the same in specification. The only difference is that v40 is the wagon type of s40. I need a wagon for my side biz. S40 and v40 from numerous reviews from owners is not a fuel guzzler except something is wrong with your pastor's own.
Hey bro...the Man uses a Volvo 940GLE, abi it's 940CL self...not d V series as mistakenly posited.

Test drive the c klasse and come back here with your findings.

And did the w202 c180 drown in the same water/flood?
I bet you that if the c class passes that same water, it would not need any flushing.

Just in case you don't know, the battery of that c class is not on the bonnet as you may have thought.
So I ask you again, would the w202 c180 c class drown/ get stuck or go off in a pool of water that a Toyota camry pencil light would swim through?
Lol. The way people hype Toyota, you will think it will never break down. Years back, I visited a church ( an evening program). I was about driving out when I noticed this woman battling with her c class w202. I looked around, there were just only 3 cars left in the park and it was getting dark really fast and she had kids with her. I knew it was battery problem so I decided to stop and help. I bounced off to the front of her car to put in my own battery but a rude shock was waiting for me. There was no battery! I looked around again and again but found no battery under the bonnet. She seems to notice my confusion and laughed, telling me the battery was in the booth! I was flabbergasted, to say the least. I looked like a small school boy who was seeing an ocean for the first time. If I decide to write about the prowess of a Merc, that will be a topic on its own. All these Toyota fans who have not driven other brands should keep kwayet and allow those with experience to speak

My brother, I have driven some few cars myself, primera, Vento, Audi 80, Tacoma, Corolla but nothing beats the sheer driving pleasure one gets from driving a solid Merc. The balance, road handling, suspension, steering power, simply amazing. I once heard that this were the reason armed robbers fell in love with the 190 and always like using it for their operations so many years back. I remember when I was trapped between two cars and their owners were no where to be found. People around said I wouldn't be able to come out but I just smiled and jumped into my baby and was able to maneuver it out of that tight spot to the amazement of onlookers. Abeg make una leave matter joor!

Hope when its keyless go breaks, you'd shell out +40k to fix it?
Plus hope you'd be able to handle various sensors replacement when they start giving way?

1997-2000 W202 facelift is circa 1.2-1.3m
2001 envelope is 1.25-1.3m

You lie about the prices as you made the w202 seem expensive while the Toyota less expensive. The Toyota you quoted is about 1.5m now.
Your camry must have had 3 changes for shocks within 3 years. But the benz would have good shocks (still using one) still in place after 3 years.
Transmission plus gearbox of the w202 c class is about 45k (complete) but the Toyota camry is about 150k with abeg.
Stop deceiving people here.

BTW. Face lift for w202 is from 1998-2000. (2001 for wagons)
