Guys,
I’m in dilemma as I’m torn between 2 great brands.
I will settle for any based on recommendations from actual users of these cars.
Between a 2013 Lexus rx350 and a 2014 Mercedes e350 which is a better buy in terms of
- Reliability
- Comfort
- Features
- Practicality
- Presence

Let’s be objective in answers please

- Reliability- I’ll go for the Lexus... cost of maintenance is low compared to the Mercedes and it’s more rugged than the Mercedes
Ground clearance is higher than the Benz also because it’s a SUV
- Comfort- can’t say which is better, the Benz could be better, but the Lexus IS still a comfortable type of car also
- Features- give it to the Benz
- Practicality- Lexus. Cuz this is Nigeria where the road is bad
- Presence- the Benz has a “yahoo-boyish” type of presence. I’ll still prefer the Lexus. Especially with the fact that I’m the type that love native wears... all those police by the road side will just be hailing u

You've rightly pointed out that these are two very great brands and I can see why you would be torn in making a choice but let's compare;
1)Reliability: Both are very reliable cars if well maintained and could literally take you anywhere in the country but I'll give it to the Lexus 'cause it has less known problems characteristic to it's brand.
2) Comfort: Obviously the E-class is way more comfortable than the RX350. grin
3)Features: They both have same features only that those on the E-class have it better from the sun roof to the display screen and all.
4) Practicality: The Lexus RX350 is a way more practical car as pertains to the Lexus brand which is luxury on a budget and also considering the RX350 has better clearance so it'll will be better for our roads which are off roads in disguise.
5) Presence: Definitely the E-class, the sleek body frame, those beautiful lights and the fact is an MB is going to give you the total feeling of “big".

So it's a 3-2 win for the E-class but the final decision will be on you so whenever you do make your choice call\whatsapp me on 08125000151 as coincidentally, I have both cars (foreign used and super clean non-accidented) up for sale.

If you think an E class saloon has a yahoo boyish aura around it then I'll have to say you don't know what you are talking about.
That model year RX350 sef even has a very huge presence in the yahoo boy group.
The type mercedes yahoo boys mostly buy is the C300,Them no get money for E class, especially the 2014 which costs up to 12m these days.

This comparison is not equal mostly because one is an SUV while the other is a sedan.
2 different classes. Most Benz beats most Lexus in comfort, features, presence.

Chief, They are both cars and it’s not really a comparison of which is the best.
Re: Between A Mercedes And A Lexus by Nobody: 3:59pm On Sep 14, 2021
I currently use a Mercedes,
I have also used a HONDA, TOYOTA and LEXUS before, I'd give it to the Mercedes.

That E Class is nobody's mate.

Classy, Aesthetics, Drive train, Balance, Speed, Comfort too.
Mercedes has this kind of Volvo seats they are made by Orthopaedic Doctors.
