What exactly are the modalities for your claim?

Fuel economy this car surpasses both
Balance, this car is balance personified
"Maneuverbility"(handling), this car kills both cars you mentioned up there. Big daddy when dey Waka like cow for road?
Also in terms of compact build, I'd choose this car above them.
The only thing against this car is age. Both cars you mentioned are relatively newer than it.

The last decade has seen another name added to this illustrious list; the Mercedes Benz C-class. The experts were agreed from the outset. This was a car that brought new standards of quality and build integrity to the compact executive sector of the luxury market. It was assembled just like an SL or an S-class and felt just as good to drive - which is why many clever buyers are now snapping these cars up on the used market. You won't find a bargain-basement C-class but no matter which model you buy, it will last and last.

let's start with the basis. target owners Benz c class is targeted at young executives, Camry and accord are mostly fleet or taxi or rental cars and also family cars. this means Camry and accord just get the job done no drama. And they do it well.


now as for luxury appointments get a JDM, European or Asian spec EOD or Camry and you'd be wowed by it's level of finishing and luxury appointments unlike the American specs which are bare bone stripped down units.

let me inform you that that notion of two cars Benz and others is just a marketing slogan by Benz. you cannot tell me a Benz is better than or counts more than a rolls Royce or a Bentley or Porsche or even an Aston Martin, Never! you had better correct that flawed notion.

C class Benz fuel economy is awesome especially the 4 plug version....I have driven the two that's Benz and Japanese....do you know that apart from air flow meter and regular changes of oil ...mobil 1

I have never done any work on the engine for over 3yrs now! But that my lousy Japanese it's always suspension or some shaft or some kakaka sound when I turn the steering

do you know how many folks abroad used Benz and then tried a japmobile before you conclude they're cheap? hope you know a Land Cruiser cost $85k brand new, hope you know the accord and Camry and C class has similar MRSP range?

Hmmm a new one....dash me a Honda, I would auction it...that's the car with the most useless suspension..as of Toyota , I am so done with those aluminum funny engines that can't stand serious reving and turns to paper when on high speed

Reason why they are hand built ruggedly cos I can't dole out that so much on a car and it turns out to be a bore. Or can you compare a Toyota hiace commuter bus to its Mercedes Benz sprinter executive bus counterpart?
While all do get the job of getting to your destination done, one does that with more style.

While I agree with this motion right here, I hope you know there are Mercedes Benz cars that can be conveniently grouped with the cars you mentioned up there undecided I am yet to see a Toyota or Honda make that group though grin

this is mine, a complete machine.. dependable, reliable, iconic. the conqueror of Mr Camry and Mrs accord
forget it which Camry are you talking about? Camry 2.7 muscle 2009 model v6 is faster and more durable, yes Benz are cool but it doesn't pick fast when accelerated until it has transmitted gear twice because it is heavier and uses back axle compared to the camry front wheel drive always red hot in cruising, light weight less fuel consumption. Its a personal choice though.

Bro while I must say toyota have done quite a good job with the Land cruiser but you'd also agree with me, it wasn't till 2012/13 Toyota started doing real work on their cars in terms of interior and aesthetics. And when I meant cheap I was referring to their more base models (the Camry, corolla etc)

Also about the MSRP of the Camry, accord and C class being same, in all honesty you have to agree with me the C class out performs them all.

A little question for you... If you were to choose between the 2014/15 Camry, accord or C350, which would you choose? grin

The c180 , c200 kompressor are the best, the 180 is preferable cos of no airflowmeter, airflow meter is the greatest headache in nigerian auto industry, no guarantees, no brand new one, no assurance, u can buy today and it spoils tomorrow, asides that the car is a perfect car especially if u love-vendor it with 2007 c class rims,

Not entirely correct bro..

The variance of the C class benz are so divers, ranging from continent to continent and regions to regions,

The specs are not the same even though they carry the badge of C180, C200, C220, C240, C270 (Mainly Europe) & C230, C280 (US)

There are some specs that have their air flow incorporated into the throttle body .
