because it has 730Hp, and it’s a Benz.

All the cars I listed have similar power and are even more prestigious. I don't get your point.

My benz C230 2006 trunk is stuck, the button control inside the car shows red light which means the trunk is open, I also get warning sign that my trunk is open when I'm driving but the stuff won't open. I've tried with the remote, have tried manual opening with the key but nothing seems to work. Please any idea of what to do? I've been directed to take it to panel-beaters but I need to know if there are safer ways to do it.

Note : this happened when the trunk was opened last week and was closed with force .

seriously why do you guys do this all the time. Benz generally is a luxury car even the C class that is a bit economical. You don't mention luxury in same sentence with fuel economy. If you seek fuel economy please go for corolla, yaris or city.

Exactly my brother. Like someone asking if ferrari or bugatti are fuel economy....
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:40pm On Oct 06, 2020
Make una stop that talk. There's nothing wrong with requiring a Mercedes or any luxury car to be reasonably fuel efficient, wtf. Of course, no one expects it to be Corolla, but that also doesn't mean it should be a gas guzzler.


Wtf, it's not like we're talking about an AMG or something. It's a regular Mercedes. Four cylinder or six cylinder. So because it has a three-pointed star, it should be getting 5 mpg? No one is talking about a V8 or V12 model.

What is it about BMW that gets people talking? What are the general problems with BMW? Is it really a bunch of scrap put together or is it a piece of German engineering that is misunderstood?

There are other Benz models that have close to the number of horses or can be tuned to that number at half the price of the above car. With better sound too.

guy, in the nigerian context once they start asking about fuel economy, reference is corolla. Why would one want to buy a benz or bmw or any of those luxury cars and be concerned about fuel economy and cheap parts instead of performance. Its a misplaced priority.

The truth is that benz isn't gaz guzzler .... I don't know why people think that way, I think people buy benz because of quality

It's like trying to buy a tiger and expect it to eat like a domestic cat... Though all of them are felines

C class and V 6 benz don't consume fuel ... But wait a minute when you talk about benz you talk luxury and I don't think that any benz owner talk or dwell more on fuel economy but more on performance and handling....


Not that their MPG aren't good but it is travesty to talk fuel economy and luxury brands ..

Just like the owner of GL 450,BMW X5 , Porsche or Bentley talking or dwelling on fuel rather than performance

If they want fuel they should focus on kia rio, corolla and mazda 323 with all these nissan cars


That's my simple take.... It's just like driving a mustang and talking of fuel economy

The average Mercedes isn't a performance car. Yes, performance and fuel efficiency don't go in hand, but someone in a C300 or C230 or whatever isn't in a performance vehicle, lmao. Likewise someone in a 328i or 330i.

There's nothing wrong with requiring those cars to have decent fuel economy.

Now if we were talking about a V8 Mercedes, or a turbo i6 BMW, then it's a different thing. A V6 is a V6, luxury cars aren't the only ones with V6 models. There's absolutely nothing special about a regular Mercedes that means it shouldn't be expected to have competitive fuel economy. What you're paying for is luxury. Luxury and fuel economy don't have any relationship.

Thanks for this video.

Does anyone know or have user experience of the 2014 x5 x35i (F15)? What is it's cost of ownership in Nigeria ? And how reliable is this machine?
