Thinking of getting a benz in the next few months, a car I hope to use for 2 but not more than 3 years.
Which of this should I get?

2013 W204 C300/350
Or
2015 W205 C300

I hear alot of engine issues with the W205 that's why I was considering a step down to the 3.5L V6 on the W204.

Is it compulsory to use octane booster on both models considering they require premium fuel?

Have done the correction sir.
I knew there was a mistake there.
At least you could have looked at great upgrade they made

The upgrades they made could be made by any other car manufacturer with less noise and drama.

Let's look at a 2003/4 camry vs 2005/6 camry.

Different head and tail lamps, different grille, different front bumper, different fabric upholstery, different steering, slightly different dash, ABS standard, side curtain airbag standard, 5sp auto, lower NVH levels, stiffer chassis.


Same happened in camry 2007/9-2010/11 camry.
Different head and tail lamps, better dash which is more resistant to crack and melting, 2.5L, 6sp auto, different grille, different front bumper, redesigned SRS system, redesigned carpet, lower NVH levels, stiffer chassis.


So what has benz done in W212 that is different from these up there?

Hello good evening,

My wife is now using the 2016 accord, it is still a very good car with no issue as it was accident free and a single owner with low miles carfax verified.
No plan to get rid of the honda atleast for the next few years. I am a Honda accord person, have had 2002, 2008, 2013 and now 2016 but I just want to try something.
I initially wanted the 2015-2016 C300 but I gather that particular engine is a mistake and the C300 which is a V6 is too expensive for the price I am willing to pay, that was why I decided to step down to the 2013-2014 C300 or C350.

I think the engine in the 2013 C300 is same engine in the C350, W212, GLK, just that the one in the C300 was slightly detuned from the 302hp.

Yes good vehicle, fuel efficient. But careful with those bought new in Nigeria without the normal temperature gauge but rather a blue and red light temp warning.

Engines are expensive now but the engine in the brand new unit for naija market can easily be rebuilt if faulty.

Gear price unknown asni used manual gear variant and they rarely give issues.

Buy Rio because it has the rack and pinion set of steering Accent came with Electronic power steering and expensive unit to replace and yes with our jaga jaga road it get spoilt often.

Considering the Kia Rio because of maintenance and fuel but scared/afraid of high cost of engine like 280k(incase of unforseen) compare to some Honda/Toyota that there engine can be easily gotten with 150-180k

Then buy a Honda or Toyota or better still look for Nissan Almera, Sunny, primera or Sentra less than 07 model years and buy, Nissan engines aren't expensive and those years too are reliable especially the Sentra.

Thanks @OfficialDJ. I am considering a Nigerian Used one but yet to see any 2013/2014 Accord that falls within my budget... So I'm left to go for the Corolla vs the Avensis (both are very neatly used but the Corolla is a tad more expensive by about 200k).
