I don't need to feel relevant. Y'all chat so much shite about your cars, when it's not even like any of you drive an AMG, a proper performance Merc. If they ask what Benz people in this thread drive, what we will hear is W211, W203, maybe a few W204s.

None of those cars achieved any critical acclaim for the driving experience they offered. Good luxury cruisers but that's about it.

Pipe down, people. Your darling "Benz" really isn't much at the end of the day. If those on the BMW thread were saying all of these, I'd be more receptive to the idea.

Again, pipe down.


Insecurity everywhere....grow up please

Even if the only Benz marquee here is the W123 and the W124... It's still a Mercedes Benz thread... So you all Nissan owners should find your obscure threads to flaunt. We don't need you or your opinions. Appreciate yourself and feel significant about your choice of nissan.
Kind regards

We aren't flaunting nothing. I don't even talk about the car I drive here; I just find the whole hype around your Mercs egregious and obnoxious.

You're completely missing the point of my previous statement. I was trying to say that most people bring up handling and drive feel of the Mercs they drive when their specific models aren't designed for handling and aren't particularly known for that.

I wasn't trying to disparage anyone's choice of cars, and my apologies if that was the vibe I gave off.

My point is, anyone could be driving an S Class, but they still really shouldn't n't be able to talk about handling. Those cars weren't designed with that in mind. An E46 330i would still outhandle and provide a more thrilling, raw driving experience than the S Class.

Do you get my point now?

Between the 2005 Mercedes benz c230 kompressor and the 2008 camry, which is a better option considering performance, fuel economy and reliability.

My Bros, those cars are wonderful rides they are mobile computers in action(numerous microprocessors at every module) hence the acronym over engineered-the thing that get me excited about the car, but if you are not a fan of such heavy microchips engineering , i will advice that you back off to avoid regrets.

For economy, i bet to tell u they are better than those data we got online.

For durability, they are da bomb, if you don't allow the microprocessors & sensors mess you up. Secrete, have a good scanner or a scanner friend, i don't mean those cheap scanners.

For speed and handling , no other rival, not even the almighty BMW. Some cars have speed but not handling but these ones have it all, both fifty-fifty.

Also, i forgot to say that everything is fixable, even by DIY. It can't be too bad to redeem.

Even people with less can except you are buying a lemon. It's not as if you will be spending funds monthly on repairs. And I also do not think you should be comparing a C230 kompressor with a Toyota Camry.

The kompressor handling is by far better than the Camry. As for performance, kompressor has it. Fuel economy if you are comparing an i4 Camry vs the kompressor which is also a 4 cylinder engine difference wouldn't be much but of course you should also know that every vehicle has its pros and cons.

My brother stay away from kompressor in my own humble opinion it is too complicated i will say it is not really good in our climes since u r not acting fast and de furious we kuku do not have good roads, and it is also prone to over heating my opinion on kompressor. However for the 4matic it is no big deal just a name to tell u it is a 4 wheel drive however the parts are damn expensive the shaft alone cost alot both new and toks we r talking in hundreds of thousand for brand new and a few tens of thousand if not a hundred thousand for the toks, we also have the arms to which are super expensive but if u get the financial muscle go for it it is a sweet ride but as a guy who owns c240 4matic 04 baba go for ordinary c240 or c320 with those u will never go wrong and most of it all always scan b4 they work on it as per no be Nissan Primera u dey drive the ride is all about Modules and Sams or simply call it a moving micro processor.

Thanks for taking out time to school me, however i must confess that afraid is catching in going ahead to but eith of the models of the MZ. I might have to opt for the 08/09 Camry and stay away from unnecessary pressure. I hope this choice is also a good one. After all it’s just a car i want to use for my 2 months stay in naija before i fall back to base. I won’t also to cause financial stress to my spouse or my parents that am most likely to leave the car for.

If you won't be around to use it, then go ahead with the Camry.
