MrBigiman:
Really surprising from a don. I put up a post the 3 pointed star W202 and ur comparism has been flawed so far. Compare the 1997 C class with a 1997 Honda or Toyota, then tell us which outlived it's time, thats how to make a healthy comparison.

pencil light outlived it's time orobo Camry too. go find out.

Excuses....why always Honda , why ! It just embarrassed my friend at village this Xmas...he just took a delivery of the EOD and the car pulled in the market place....a car he just took delivery....we looked at him and my cousin said...Honda is a car he can't touch ..we just doomed off with our car

Forget the excuse....when was the last time you saw a Benz front tire pull ?

3 days ago in umuahia. two tyres faced different direction. negligent owner driving worn out part, bad technician and fake part exchanging hands causes Honda ball joints to go bad

Pls does the Civic 2001-2004 has leg problem (ball joint/. Thank you sir.
CC: ikpumadu

no.

for ball joint issue, every car that has ball joints can fail when these ball joint are worn out and not replaced or if they're driven consistently thru very terribly rough terrain. the accord ball joint issue is caused by negligence on the part of owner, dishonesty on the part of the seller of the part and also bad work practice on the part of the mechanic.

All these airbags... that is how somebody will choke when they have an accident because they are surrounded by air bags on every side

lol but won't you love to fall in an airfilled balloon during a crash rather than a hard sharp metal?

once airbag deploys and safely cushion the crash impact, they deflate in less than 30 seconds cheesy

sorry I don't pray we ever experience a crash.

Bro while I must say toyota have done quite a good job with the Land cruiser but you'd also agree with me, it wasn't till 2012/13 Toyota started doing real work on their cars in terms of interior and aesthetics. And when I meant cheap I was referring to their more base models (the Camry, corolla etc)

Also about the MSRP of the Camry, accord and C class being same, in all honesty you have to agree with me the C class out performs them all.

A little question for you... If you were to choose between the 2014/15 Camry, accord or C350, which would you choose?

bullocks the Camry and accord out sells the best selling Mercedes for a reason. now a days the gap in the wow factors in Benz has been closed in by mid class sedans. When last did we see real genuine wood in a Benz C class?

I'd still say it, you buy Benz cos of name and cos of passion not cos of reasonable logical rational thinking.

I got stuffs to do, this is my last debate here.

My Benz has six airbags ....the one at dashboard, the one at steering the one at the four doors ...and that's the highest safety ratings ....how many of your Camry can boast of this ?

Bro...who compares ordinary Toyota with a whole Benz

the last time I checked a 2003 Honda civic LX model had steering airbag, passenger airbag, thoracic airbag and full curtain airbags. Honda has earned consistent good consistent high safety marks.
go pick up a European corolla altis it's same thing. I'm not talking about the American spec taxi corolla or Camry.

They aren't foolish but they are cheap! majority of them are stuck with the fuel economy rhetoric that they forget it's almost same with some of the cars (Benz) they dread

do you know how many folks abroad used Benz and then tried a japmobile before you conclude they're cheap? hope you know a Land Cruiser cost $85k brand new, hope you know the accord and Camry and C class has similar MRSP range?

think bro, think, brains over heart. There's a reason why Honda and Toyota are the most reliable and dependable cars these aren't rhetorics but facts.

sooperrescue:
bros, it is the fuel that causes the sensors to misbehave . The oxygen sensors begin to shout the moment you buy Nigerian fuel and from there the ecu reduces the performance of the engine to compensate for the low octane fuel and fuel economy is gone and as the engine becomes sluggish, other issues arises, gearbox performance is restricted and then all the sensors begin to work overtime and fail. And the owner of the Nissan will even compound the problem by using obsolete oils thinking that he is saving money not knowing that he is using his hands to destroy his car. Good morning. If its not you that said so on the thread, it must be leJeun. Note that this scenario occurs in all cars that requires premium fuel . Vw Acura, Benz, Bmw, Range Rover and your turf, Lexus

bro, I suggest you go online forum and read about people's complaint on Nissan and infiniti. it's not about fluids and oils that causes them to fail. they weren't built to last as they were previously done. Prolly because Nissan was trying too hard to impress the market and copy BMW (another very terribly unreliable car) technology and integrate into theirs.

Toyota produce for Mass market
Benz produce for niche market

Benz is an luxury car
Toyota is an utility car

It's like comparing Gucci loafers to Clarkes loafers

They aren't in same level bro

There are two cars in the world ...Benz and others

let's start with the basis. target owners Benz c class is targeted at young executives, Camry and accord are mostly fleet or taxi or rental cars and also family cars. this means Camry and accord just get the job done no drama. And they do it well.

now as for luxury appointments get a JDM, European or Asian spec EOD or Camry and you'd be wowed by it's level of finishing and luxury appointments unlike the American specs which are bare bone stripped down units.

let me inform you that that notion of two cars Benz and others is just a marketing slogan by Benz. you cannot tell me a Benz is better than or counts more than a rolls Royce or a Bentley or Porsche or even an Aston Martin, Never! you had better correct that flawed notion.

Bros, na only one car go get all these faults and yet on one thread you say nissan good. Like I stated then, fuel and oil is the major issue we face here. Op go for the car, use good engine oil and a lot of octane booster and you will never regret that decision. Get in touch with Gazzuzz for the engine oil and contact me for the octane booster.

I've never called American Nissan good, show me the thread. and it's not only fuel and oil that's the problem of Nissan. it's more of sensors monitoring cam activities.

Yes I know I'm going to do that.
My question here is for people that have a little idea of the car and the common problems it comes with

good transmission, good engine, great sports chassis, don't get the G35x get the proper RWD. you may wonder why I advice against the g35x , and it's simply because of the cost of the parts for front shafts, lower arms and struts and also the front diff. yes, it's an ATTESA AWD which is very sporty but doy yourself a favour and get a RWD model. the G35 uses the VQ35DE which is shared with QX4 and Pathfinder JR50 models. you need to check for items such as oil leaks, misfiring, knocking sounds and engine clattering which indicate timing chain issues, camshaft issues and some catalytic converter issues. run away if the owner use any other transmission fluid other than Nissan Matic J.

check for accident and crumple on the body and subframe/chassis and if present, avoid it. check for oil leaks in gearbox and differentials, check for any electrical work such as in the engine bay under the footwells and in fuse boxes.

Iykebethany, I feel your worries and I can relate to this cos 6years ago my mother suffered same. Well at the time she was in India Delhi so it was easier for the specialist to diagnose nd commence surgery. They had to correct the slipped vertebrae and discs, and then place braces and metallic plates to keep it in place while it healed after the discs and vertebrae were healed the braces were removed. The hospital that carried the procedure was Primus super specialty hospital Delhi but they have a branch in new Karu Abuja, you can try them.

Let me tell you something. About 2 years ago, i drove an infiniti m35x v6 . and i later switched to drive a corolla the same day.
The corolla felt like a bicycle. It kept making noise and reving with little movement. It felt very very slow.
