hello auto gurus,
i want to change my car and i want to pick any of the cars in d subject. kindly advise on the best among the two in terms of efficiency, maintenance and ruggedity. vehicle is to be used in nigeria. i currently use a camry 01 model and for three years now she has been very faithful. kindly advise...

I prefer the german brand for prestige, 2.6l c240,though less power to the honda but its got more beauty and probably better handling, as for efficiency and ruggedity,it depends on how u use both. The benz will give u more stability. Learn the maintenance culture of each and decide which to go for. Test drive both and choose for yourself. I believe the honda wil consume more fuel. The choice is urs,as for me,without thinking twice, i'l go with the RWD benz c240 cos i used a w202 c22
in the past...just my 50kobo contribution. More ideas from peeps who ve used both...

I'll advice you to go for a 2004 Toyota camry,because Benz maintenance is very high

The car is just too big(big for nothing), not just my taste. If the maintenance of the MB is high, wat of the honda?

The only thing i know troubles those benzes are electricals, bt it isnt much of an issue, u wil get over it. What about the honda? I heard gearbox. The truth here is,every car has a peculiar issue. Once u learn about it,find out how to overcome it then u'll be good. The honda wil take more fuel cos its a 3.0l (or 3.5l) v6...

Go for the benz. There is a difference between a machine and a car. Benz is a machine while those ASIAN rides are cars.

Thanks for your contribution. I'm a lover of sound system and the sound system of the honda is tempting ;Dthe sound system of the benz isn't as good as the honda in terms of the output. What do u guys fink?

I bliv the benz has more ruggedity and class. The honda may hv a better sound system but in d long run the benz will prove its worth! The benz has more longevity and durability than the honda. Pls go for the benz. You wont regret it

Thanks for ur contributions. From my observations, the honda has more advantage in terms of availability of parts, etc. Still researching though

Check the two links below and decide which one to go for, yourself. The links are reviews of both cars from previous & present owners.

I believe you can get a 2005 accord manual drive, if u have a crush for the honda. I don't tink the engine is as disturbing as the auto trans. Auto sellers in the house can give more info on the possibility of gettin an 05 accord manual.

Ok...
Auto merchants in the house, can we get accord 05 v6 manual drive?

auto sellers in d haus, can we get accord 05 or 06 v6 manual trans? kindly assist wit pix if any

Bro, How you maintain your car is what matters. Some people that drives this accord only hear about this gear problems but have not seen one. Get a clean title accord with low mileage and it will serve you as long as you take care of it.
