some of these comparison requests are ridiculous

you just essentially drew 3 cars from different categories from a hat and asked for advice without any context

are you single or married? married with family?

the above would determine the size category that would be most suitable for you

where do you live? or what kind of terrain would the car be most likely to be driven on?

the above would determine the driving and other characteristics, 4WD, ground clearance, etc

what is your budget? where do you live? how economically stable are you?

the above would determine everything, those 3 are from different price categories, maintenance and parts also cost different

what are your priorities? fuel economy? performance? class and prestige?

please reconsider these and rephrase your request

or don't

Monthly income of 150k? Remove all Benz models.

My only recommendation on this list is the Rav 4. That is if you have the budget to get a clean one. They are generally durable and reliable. No excess working issues and can take some abuse. Also good for rough terrain.

Those benzes I'm seeing there, pls get them out of your mind for now.

You can't have good fuel economy and performance in the same bracket. Chose one.

What if it's W202 C280?
If he gets a clean one,only concern will be increased fuel consumption.

What he truly needs are a Toyota Corolla 1997-99, Honda civic 1996-2005

True but can he maintain it? Is it #3800 Oando synthetic he'll be buying to service the engine? Parts of a Benz not to talk of a recent model like that can make a man cry. He should just maintain for now.

@Op, I didn't ask. What's your budget?

leave all those fancy for nothing Benz models, they are overrated and would not suit your priorities

the other poster was right, fuel economy and performance are often in opposition, unless it's a Tesla or some other unconventional car

sticking to your alternatives I would suggest the 2007 RAV4 4 Cylinder 2WD , reasonable fuel economy and ground clearance

but you should consider starting smaller, if this is your first car, stick to the basics, a 2005/06 4 Cylinder camry or 2005 - 2008 Corolla should be fine, considering your stated income, the camry oil burn is not as dramatic as you may be led to believe
