I’m not comparing them for a fight I just want to know which one is better in terms of the criteria below. For people who use them or have used them

A. Cost of maintenance
B. Fuel consumption
C. Availability/Authenticity of spare parts
D. Security
E. Durability
F. Endurance
G. Possibility of turning mechanic shop to your second house

You can suggest better cars in the same prize point category (3.5m to 4.5m)

Thank you

C240 4matic is the vehicle I have been using from 2020 till date. I carry out repairs on it myself because I am an electromechanical Engr.

*Security: very high, na Benz, so no cause for fair
*Reliability: very good (equipped with M112 engine, 2.6l), never let me down on road
*Ruggedness: very ok, na strong car
*Maintenance: 7 litres of mobil 1 at every 5000 miles (8000 km). Though manufacturer said change after 10000miles (16000km)
*Consumption: almost equivalent to that of 04 Camry, 2.4l engine (I have driven and compared the two). A full Tank (68 litre) took me from Lakowe via Ajah to Oyo state and took me back to Ojuelegba, lagos
*parts availability: plenty for Trinity, Ojuelegba & Ladipo. Besides, the vehicle parts are very strong and authentic
*mechanic: myself
* you will hardly visit mechanic shop

As for the Peugeot, I can't say much about. Of course I am sure we don't have much mechanic for them. The parts are also of concern. The Consumption, maintenance may lower compared to the C240, security wise, it cannot near that benz. The pictures attached is my own c240 4matic, everything still working perfectly well on the car

Sure DIY mechanic..one thing I hate are bad roads,I drove a car clean for 2years,after 2years,doors got dented by keke,side skirts and underneath got dented by big stone in trenches. No on3 told me b4 I ran to suv. I hate trenches and bad roads. I adore smooth roads die
