Kindly recommend between these two brands.
I'm torn between these two cars and I will like opinions from those who have used or had experience with these cars.

The car will be used majorly for running around town with occasional trips .
I need something that is rugged, durable and can handle daily usage.

I want something mild on gas,( subsidy removal no be joke).

I have some worries about both cars and will want expert opinions about these issues.

The ground clearance for the MB ain't good enough but I love the handling of this brand.
For the honda, I'm worried about the front tyres popping off, coupled with transmission issues.
The honda has more spacious interior though.

Las las, which is easier to maintain?

Pls help with your knowledge.
Thanks!.

Guess I will go ahead with what the brother up there recommended.

I currently use the Accord 2007, It's very reliable esp when you do regular maintenance.

Fuel economy is very decent compared to the Benz, a friend recently complained how his car suck fuel he use this same C class

I don't drive daily though, tires popped put just once and it was due to my own negligence as I already saw the signs.

Given the current economic realities I'd say go for the Honda accord, parts are cheap, decent on gas and also durable.

Makes sure you get a car with sound engine and have it checked a trusted mechanic, with regular maintenance you won't have any issues.

Get the benz c180 it is economical and rugged, no leg pull anyhow. The kompressor is good too.

Honda is ok. Haven't driven it yet but I can attest to the benz.

If you maintain it well you'll not regret. C klasse is a No-nonsense car. Any small negligence like this, na to spend pass wetin you go use do Honda leg.

If you can go for the Honda

Regarding the issue of front legs popping off if you maintain it well you won’t encounter anything like that
Maintenance is key

Benz W203

The W203 is the first car I used in my life. For reliability, you’ll mostly spend on electrical issues and it doesn’t have a good resale value mostly cus people tend to run from Benz. If I were to choose this or the Honda EOD I’ll pick the Benz. The best thing about the Benz was the handling, riding comfort and how it sits firm on the road, it’ll enter shallow gallop on top speed and won’t waver like uncle big daddy.

Strange cus my W203 then was a 4plug kompressor. Being a student in school back then, when sapa touch me I’d buy N500 fuel at 97 naira per litre😂. From off campus hostel to class was like 30 miles to and fro, the remaining fuel go carry me go class the next day and I go top am again. Did that for almost three weeks till I spoilt my injector lol, it wouldn’t go past 30mph 🤦🏾‍♂️. Between C230, C240 and this, I’d pick this. Tho I replaced alternator one time, big daddy alternator then was 8k, I bought this cars own for 37k as at then o🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂. Mercedessssiiiiiiii, just budget electrical part minor spending and take care of it shikena don’t be like me.

Thanks boss. How was parts and maintenance? Was it expenses,? You mentioned electrical issues, is it really a notable problem?
I know lots of folks have this cult-like following for Benz. Once you use it, you never go back.
I used the 190 for years and I can attest to the handling and balance

Normally German cars have more expensive parts compared to Japanese cars, as long as u maintain properly u won’t have any serious expenses. But me I don’t know ur pocket, all I will say is for a hustling guy that just needs something for the road I wouldn’t advice Mercedes. because if e start, u will spend if u can’t afford to spend extensively u will want to manage, management is the worst thing u can do to a Mercedes.

See the benz is not more expensive to fix than the Honda just do a price comparison of major parts like the engine, gearbox, ball joint etc you will see that the cost is relatively the same.

Bro, flee from Mercedes Benz if your pockets are not deep. I have driven 4 models of Mercedes-Benz and i enjoyed all with the exception of W203 C180 (Not the Kompressor). In less than 3 years, i spent more than the cost of purchasing it on maintenance. Starting from the gear box, Air Conditioner issues, Electrical problems here and there. At a point, my wife asked me if i was sure that witches were not driving the car at night.

I don't like that year of accord, because of the legs, if you must drive a budget friendly honda, go for the 08 civic, if not take the Benz w203 with m111 engine 2.0l kompressor you will never regret it. Parts are cheap, but sometimes scarce.
