I usually say the people that drive this car have joined a cult they just don't know it, this is because once you start driving this car you just can't abandon it, instead you will be suffering and smiling inside it. With this car there are only three people at any given time that know the problem of the car I.e the owner, the mechanic and finally God, this because at any given time there is most likely something failed or failing within the car which is usually ignored . Driving this car is like dating Kim Kardashian, because everyone hails, admire and even envy you failing to take into cognizance the cost and stress of owning this vehicle. Problems of this car oppor! Its main weaknesses are electrical, water and ground clearance. The pros of this car are the effizy value, its a true performer it punches above its weight class you can be rest assured you will dominate about 70-80% of the cars you meet on the road, only cars that challenge or out do this car on performance, pickup, handling and sprint that I've experienced are the lexus ISF family, some BMW 3&5 especially the M's, lexus GX400, land cruisers, jaguar Xj, xkr, xf etc Range and tundras but at this point you're beginning get the idea its punching way above its weight class. If you want to go batshit insanely untouchable on the road get c63 AMG, I once raced an AMG it was as of i was racing myself before my c350 had time to pickup the AMG had left me behind. Driving this car is pure bliss especially on a sunday morning on Abuja Airport road or kubuwa express with the AC on. Now the problems yakpa, but fortunately they all stem from one thing maintenance, if you can't do it properly you will definitely not enjoy this car. For example if you carry out an oil change with the regular oil and not mobile 1, at first you won't notice any difference but over time you'll notice engine power degradation which leads to increased fuel consumption and increased fuel consumption clogs your sparks faster. So by the time you experience a catastrophic engine break down you'll be changing oil, plugs, rings, filters and possibly pump too. Some of the other problems of this car are the many sensors that can fail and are expensive to maintain. The front tire assembly namely lower & upper arm, the various bushings, shaft and shocks are usually the are the first to fail depending on how you drive or where you live. This vehicle hates being in water or heavy rain due its low ground clearance it also means all the tire and electrical components are constantly submerged in water hence they fail, especially one component call the VGS. If that fails you'll experience new levels of pain and hurt from driving this car and another component that sometimes acts up is the fuel pump and if not done properly could start a fire as the pumps and its wiring sits instead fuel in the tank. Some tips when buying this car: NEVER NEVER buy a Nigerian used one that's equivalent of flushing your money down the toilet Brace yourself for fuel consumption ( no more corolla or camry consumption, you're now rocking with the big boys) Stay clear of the 2014 and above model years ( aka black engine) they're not bad on the contrary they're better in performance and fuel economy. The problem is most mechanics don't know how to repair it hence compounding your problem Have a good and trusted mechanics if not them go office your enter problem. Brace yourself the parts are quite expensive, try to buy new or used original part. Cutting corners with this car never pays in the long run. Try as much as possible to fix issues in a timely manner because delaying it only compounds repairs and costs Unless you're a Benz enthusiast buy the C300, leave the C350 4matic alone, it's not worth the hassle if you want the car for effizy. But if u need the extra oomph, bite, grip, traction and balance then go 4matic. But notwithstanding it is for me its a great car, one of the best Benz out there with so much poise, power and character. 7.5/10 for me

Great review. Onyinbo no do reach this one, please take this path serious, I see you reviewing cars like Aston Martin and Ferrari….. if I get money I for rush go buy this car na na you bust my head
1.C class is popular because of its pricing. 2.it is one of the easiest cheapest way to get into a luxury brand . 3.it is a cheap way to look successful.

Nice review mate. If you are a lecturer, your class will be always filled to the door. And the way you drop it with the naija street flows, no forming. 🙏💪 Keep it up Bro.
The w204 is a staple vehicle on Nigerian roads today, but I still don't get the idea why many Nigerians opt for the C300 when they can get the C350 with more grunt and power, although considering that the C300 has a 1mpg gas mileage better than the 350 is quite rational, but that's negligible by me. Even Mercedes don't make them how they use to before with the newer w205, and their turbocharging gimmick to spool more HP from a smaller displacement engine to meet emission standards. As for me I'd go with the legendary w204 C63 AMG because there's no replacement for cubic inches (displacement).😂
Also maintenance is also a factor to consider, in as much as both cars are largely similar, certain parts vary and those parts that vary in the C350 are often scarce, difficult to procure or significantly more expensive than the c300 parts.
I drive a w204 c63 p31 and I can tell you: yes its the best car money can buy. Now jokes aside its a super fun car with a legendary engine for under 35k
You nailed it bro, the first time I drove that car after parking, I felt that dominion ...over the car.... It looks like a personal toy especially when feeling the key fob in your palm.. coming behind the car , reaching out for the door handle....is just sweet....
Truth be told, I don’t think german cars can ever go wrong… I am a BMW guy, used an E46 in Nigeria many years ago then an E90 in the states… the annoying thing is dealership is we’re everyone mostly fix there cars. So when I bough my e90 I jacks when I wanna boost or hit the gas. Had the issue for like 3years. Before I fixed it. But before then I took it to bmw dealership. They gave me a quote of $3000 plus. YES… in that was a charge of $800 for workmanship. Only to fix it with $78. And that was how I became my e90 mechanic. I swear this car is just so good that I drove it for another 2yrs plus for 860miles to n fro every 2wks for 2yrs plus straight without any issue.
@@iceynuel9066 this car hardly gives you parts problems, but when it give you then you have to prepare .

Im South African and watching this and thinking we dont even look at this car anymore we generally buy old BMWs they are collectable and are enjoyed at car meets etc... The older mercedes we dont even notice
I’ve never been a Mercedes guy, but I’ve had 6 BMW’s (328i, 330i, 335i, 750Li, M3, and X5). I’ve test driven Mercedes and they don’t drive anything like BMWs. I still have the M3 and I also have a Lexus and a RAM 1500 pickup truck.
Here are some issues you didn't mention crank. 1.The stabilizer linkage usually gets bad even if you drive on a good road. Then you'll have to loosen and tighten it properly. 2. It usually makes a cranking sound occasionally if you're accelerating upwards. This is common with most 2008 to 2016 Mercedes sedan. 3. It is not advisable to wash the engine. Else, you might be experiencing incessant electrical issues. Bless up
The only regret I did when getting a w204 was C300 instead of getting c350 because of extra power. But I got everything I wanted on a W204(pop up display, Panoramic roof, I can play dvd on my screen but not in motion)
Heh. I liked your review. Interesting prospective. I’ve known plenty of people with w204 c-classes. My aunt had one, my friend currently has a coupe version wrapped in pink😅. My mom has a e350 coupe. I’m in an old s class, my 6th Mercedes. Once you open the door you are either gonna love em or hate em
I got my 2009 c350 on the whim. And I love it. But I had no idea how popular the design was. I'm in Miami where there are tons of luxury and super cars. And I get looks and stopped all the time by people wanting to know about the car. The resell value over the past two years have gone up on them here in America. Great content!
This guy sabi benz finish. Classy, fresh,gives you that respect. But the problems are just too financially intensive. I got one, used for a month and ran away. Parts expenses are crazy. Guess I wasn't lucky to get a good one. But Benz is King. Will rebuy. Benz no dey finish.
Thanks guy this is great. Just that I couldn't see inside the Benz as tha video is generally dark. Will appreciate if subsequent content could be more visible. Thanks so much for this content.
@@christophergodspower7987 no here we don’t have that problem at all . It might just be an issue if you paid the proper import duty for your car and if it was done the right way .
@@tashingadekune9141 it's not an issue of import duty, it's an issue of a young boy who is looking good and drives a good car in Nigeria is regarded as a fraudster.
I started using mercedes in 1999 this is 2022 and I swear I have stopped recieving myself. I am going to 2000 honda CRV, I don't want to die before my time. Good bye mercedes it was a lovely 23 years with u. I may go back to W 202
Hi again young man. I commented on one of your videos yesterday re the Ford Edge. I/my wife also have a 2017 Mercedes SLC AMG. It's an awesome sunny days car, but it has far too much technology. That a home mechanic/engineer such as myself can't easily fix. Therefore I'd guess that any Mercedes used on the roads of Nigeria are going to frequently give big & expensive problems. Buy a Honda or Toyota my friend. They will give you a far better ownership experience in the long term. Mercedes aren't built to handle dirt roads. PS... My wife works for Honda.
I subscribed to you because I’m supporting your dream of car reviewing because you make it look original and your editing, camera angles and shots is lit🔥 …you make it look fun to watch bro! I watch a lot of reviews but this is different in a good way but see if you could get nice background for these shots and not those dusty roads! 🤣🤣🤣
Just to add, you mentioned its a 2010 model but it's actually a face-lift (2012-2014) with an upgraded grille from the W205. You can tell by comparing the both the headlights and tail lights of the pre face-lift and face-lift models. You can also tell from the interior.....face-lift models have very similar infotainment to the e class the pre face-lift (2008-11) has the pop-up screen. Awesome review by the way.
GREAT VIDEO BRO!!! In one of her songs, K michelle said: "That's a C-Class Benz, that is not a car!". I didn't understand at the time but now I do. From the propective of someone in the states. I'd say Invest the money in a Lexus or Infinity. You'll get more for your money. You only experience the true essense of performance or luxury that Mercedes has to offer with AMG or E class and up. C300 might not be worth the issues it will give because most who buy them can't afford the maintenance. They're also not as premium and very common. Also considering some of the roads in Nigera I would shoot for a truck or SUV. Like G class. Anyway, GREAT VIDEO
Bro I just stumbled on your video and all I can say is it was amazing. No trying to form accent and all that very natural. You got a new sub 😤💪💪💪 Big fan of car wow. Can't wait to see you drag race lol
Cover your can connection under the drivers doormat with water proof nylon and seal it with rubber bands and save yourself headaches. Avoid water because of the speed sensor spoils those tiny cables are 60k for each one ☝️. Watch the petrol u put inside dirty fuel will spoil your fuel line eventually. Buy original arms and suspension parts when changing. Avoid potholes this car is not for bad roads Most benz have very hard and stiffened chassis they won’t bounce on potholes. You will feel them. Change the steering bushings and service this car with Castro or Mobil 1 only. Change your oil filter every time you service also don’t drive it with low power steering fluid. Clean your ac air filters in time before you spoil the evaporator. Make sure anything removed is coupled back tightly. If your brake pads are well maintained you should have no fear on the road this thing has a very effective brake system for a normal car. Make sure your brake disks are even and not worn or bent. Alignment matters especially on high speed.
I aint gonna lie....your review is really cool!!...i never thiught my country as people like you...i wish to see you more successful in future...💙💙and put God first😉
I have been driving this car for like 4 years now, if you are really a car guy/person. You will love the c63. I was just typing when you said about the c63 lol
I just came across your channel for the first time and I love it. I'm planning on buying my first car in three months time (specifically May), lot of people made different suggestions covering corolla 2010, 2007 Mercedes benz c230 sport, camry sport, and Mercedes-Benz c300. I will strongly appreciate it if you can help me make the final decision on this one. I must tell you that I prioritise luxury and ruggedness over fuel consumption. Thank you.
If you want a very reliable and easy maintenance vehicle with low fuel consumption buy a corolla, if you want something a bit more luxury and sportier than the Corolla then buy a camry. But then you said you prioritise luxury and ruggedness over fuel consumption so i’ll strongly suggest you go for a 2008/2012 c300 Mercedes benz. However if you want something more rugged, sportier and faster than c300 then go for c63 amg but that’s if you’re a fan of speed if not then stick to c300
the price depends on the year. 2017 c330 4Matic with 58kms on it here, costs 32,000CAD, plus tax puts it at 37,000CAD. and that's regarded are a very good deal, but again, everything you said is accurate, just be able to maintain the car if you can afford it.
Awesome presentation man, I was really engaged through the whole video, but buying a Benz in Nigeria? It's a recipe for disaster, I'd say. It's a car that has faults pretty often, especially on your roads, and you attract too much unwanted attention. So it would keep you poor and get your robbed. Same happens in my country with BMW's. People should buy the best compromise between reliability, comfort, fun, looks, everything. I hate boring cars but they're so reassuring when they never break. I love BMW, Audi, Merc, Mazda, Jag, Volvo, but I don't love it when they eat up a few months of pay every year.
MY BROTHER!!!!!!! from accross the seas, automatic subscribe off the video edit and the beautiful vibe ! get better shots can be in the hood also in the mountain! of beautiful africa !
A Japanese car is more long lasting and reliable than a German car. German cars depreciate fast in America and don't hold their value as well as Japanese cars. In America German cars have a poor reliability record as well.✍🏽🇺🇲🇯🇲
Right because we have the nice long stretched-up roads to test their reliability. That old C350 or C300 will certainly break on the highway from NC to GA, to and from, to say the least.
Facts. That's the reason why cars like Toyota are big in Jamaica. German cars are fine in countries with smooth roads but countries with bad roads things will get expensive to maintain
@@Blessedmind3041 😂 I’ve driven a Benz with over 100k miles and drove it over 30k miles no problems still go hard asf 🤷♂️ don’t know wtf people mean by not reliable only differences is price to repair
It's no contest Japanese cars are more reliable than German cars period! Check articles on "most unreliable cars" and Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Range Rover etc. come up all the time. Articles on "most reliable cars" and it's always Lexus, Toyota Honda etc. In Africa we really don't drive cars lots of miles or Kms for the true colours to come out. Lexus engines and gear boxes especially automatics are near impossible to destroy. Mercedes will drive you nuts with expensive sensor failures, cam shaft failures and software issues preventing gearbox from shifting. You cannot go wrong with a Lexus (I will kill for an IS 350!) Bullet proof engine and gearbox. In the US Lexus won the JD Powers quality survey 10 years in a row (num 1) as the least problems reported per thousands of users surveyed. Mercedes and BMW were like number 20... The Lexus LS 460 V8 engine is one of the few automotive engines certified for aircraft use by the FAA because of its legendary reliability and impeccable build quality. These engines are known to last over a million miles in the US! Mercedes is no match for Lexus in reliability. The German and English cars have unparalleled road and steering feel, handling and braking but I'd rather have a car I can be sure will take me there and back for the next ten years, maintain value and I can hand it down to the next gen with no major repairs needed that is Lexus or Toyota! I have owned Mercedes (C280, w202) what a night mare! Lucky it did not catch on fire! I owned a 1999 BMW 328i and their plastic water pumps and fragile hoses overheating everywhere. Audis are a disaster with camshaft failures. The first generation ML too was a total disaster. Benzes are no longer the icon they used to be. It's a shame what they have become. If you want reliable and affordable luxury go Lexus. They are DIE HARD! A Lexus IS 350 will spank a C 350 Benz in straight line acceleration any day! I'll give the handling to the Benz tho. That's my honest experience guys no bias towards Benz.
Ladies and gentlemen buy a car that fits you price range/class remember you can always buy a cheap shit box and upgrade it down the road. It's more unique to see someone put time into upgrading their car instead of repairing expensive electronics that come with the car. In my opinion
I usually say the people that drive this car have joined a cult they just don't know it, this is because once you start driving this car you just can't abandon it, instead you will be suffering and smiling inside it.

Heh. I liked your review. Interesting prospective. I’ve known plenty of people with w204 c-classes. My aunt had one, my friend currently has a coupe version wrapped in pink😅. My mom has a e350 coupe. I’m in an old s class, my 6th Mercedes. Once you open the door you are either gonna love em or hate em
I got my 2009 c350 on the whim. And I love it. But I had no idea how popular the design was. I'm in Miami where there are tons of luxury and super cars. And I get looks and stopped all the time by people wanting to know about the car. The resell value over the past two years have gone up on them here in America. Great content!
Lmaoooo, I love the C350 because it has more to offer anyway…there’s just something about it
This guy sabi benz finish. Classy, fresh,gives you that respect. But the problems are just too financially intensive. I got one, used for a month and ran away. Parts expenses are crazy. Guess I wasn't lucky to get a good one. But Benz is King. Will rebuy. Benz no dey finish.
Thanks guy this is great. Just that I couldn't see inside the Benz as tha video is generally dark. Will appreciate if subsequent content could be more visible. Thanks so much for this content.
i would like to buy a jdm car from the '90, but with a lot of market speculations and the time we're living right now it's do an odyssey
The C-300 is cool. I Love it, but I love the E-class more. Currently owning the E-350. Wish to one day own the E-53 or the EQE 😍😍.
The E class feels like a jet.
Even here in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 it’s a popular car but most people have the C200. The W205 is becoming the more desirable one
Ohhhhh, thought it was just a Nigerian thing. The W205 C300 is problematic though, I hope you know that?
Do you have the police chase after young guys with cars in your country? 🤨🤨🤨 They do it here ooh.
@@234drive oh really what issues does it have ?
@@christophergodspower7987 no here we don’t have that problem at all . It might just be an issue if you paid the proper import duty for your car and if it was done the right way .
@@tashingadekune9141 it's not an issue of import duty, it's an issue of a young boy who is looking good and drives a good car in Nigeria is regarded as a fraudster.
I started using mercedes in 1999 this is 2022 and I swear I have stopped recieving myself. I am going to 2000 honda CRV, I don't want to die before my time. Good bye mercedes it was a lovely 23 years with u. I may go back to W 202
Hi again young man.
I commented on one of your videos yesterday re the Ford Edge.
I/my wife also have a 2017 Mercedes SLC AMG.
It's an awesome sunny days car, but it has far too much technology. That a home mechanic/engineer such as myself can't easily fix.
Therefore I'd guess that any Mercedes used on the roads of Nigeria are going to frequently give big & expensive problems.
Buy a Honda or Toyota my friend. They will give you a far better ownership experience in the long term.
Mercedes aren't built to handle dirt roads.
PS...
My wife works for Honda.
The guy is right the Benz leather seats 💺 smells in a unique way
This energy makes you want to watch more keep rocking bro👊
I subscribed to you because I’m supporting your dream of car reviewing because you make it look original and your editing, camera angles and shots is lit🔥 …you make it look fun to watch bro!
I watch a lot of reviews but this is different in a good way but see if you could get nice background for these shots and not those dusty roads! 🤣🤣🤣
Just to add, you mentioned its a 2010 model but it's actually a face-lift (2012-2014) with an upgraded grille from the W205. You can tell by comparing the both the headlights and tail lights of the pre face-lift and face-lift models. You can also tell from the interior.....face-lift models have very similar infotainment to the e class the pre face-lift (2008-11) has the pop-up screen.
Awesome review by the way.
Great content, for the buttons that peels there are stickers that cover up the peeling perfectly. Had this done and it looked like a factory done job
Ohhhhh wow…thanks for that insight
Can you refer me?
@@brandchannelbackup9259 I had it done at apo in Abuja here , I dont have the guys contact but I know the place
Nice editing job & review !
Include some million km 190's ! Those cars can go forever !
LOL! 😂 i enjoyed watching this review the demonstration is so epic
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you very much
Like bro, i just stubble on this content. I'm already loving your review.
You gonna steal me away from cars wow
Great content. Would like to see a lot more reviews from you.
GREAT VIDEO BRO!!!
In one of her songs, K michelle said: "That's a C-Class Benz, that is not a car!". I didn't understand at the time but now I do. From the propective of someone in the states. I'd say Invest the money in a Lexus or Infinity. You'll get more for your money. You only experience the true essense of performance or luxury that Mercedes has to offer with AMG or E class and up. C300 might not be worth the issues it will give because most who buy them can't afford the maintenance. They're also not as premium and very common.
Also considering some of the roads in Nigera I would shoot for a truck or SUV. Like G class.
Anyway, GREAT VIDEO
Awesome review. I'll go for the c63s. You're having fun.
It's like you're a Winning Eleven/PES Fan. That sound epic.
You noticed the sound 🤣🤣🤣 correct guy. Thanks
Waoh, this is an amazing car review, I see this channel subscribers skyrocketing I’m not time. Btw I just subscribed myself
I like your personality, your natural, real, down to earth I had to subscribe plus I like cars so your the guy.. keep this up you will go far
Bro I just stumbled on your video and all I can say is it was amazing. No trying to form accent and all that very natural. You got a new sub 😤💪💪💪
Big fan of car wow. Can't wait to see you drag race lol
I really like your show and your reviews keep it up, u really helping a lot of people make informed choices , God bless you
Bro it’s crazy cuz it’s the same thing overseas here. All the Nigerian boys are copping c300 benzes it’s wild
I was smart enough to get the w203 body with the m272 engine same power as w204
Cover your can connection under the drivers doormat with water proof nylon and seal it with rubber bands and save yourself headaches. Avoid water because of the speed sensor spoils those tiny cables are 60k for each one ☝️. Watch the petrol u put inside dirty fuel will spoil your fuel line eventually. Buy original arms and suspension parts when changing. Avoid potholes this car is not for bad roads Most benz have very hard and stiffened chassis they won’t bounce on potholes. You will feel them. Change the steering bushings and service this car with Castro or Mobil 1 only. Change your oil filter every time you service also don’t drive it with low power steering fluid. Clean your ac air filters in time before you spoil the evaporator. Make sure anything removed is coupled back tightly. If your brake pads are well maintained you should have no fear on the road this thing has a very effective brake system for a normal car. Make sure your brake disks are even and not worn or bent. Alignment matters especially on high speed.
If you maintain your car you will be alright. Change fluids and electrical parts
Nice video. Bro. I love how you present it.
This guy no dey miss
I aint gonna lie....your review is really cool!!...i never thiught my country as people like you...i wish to see you more successful in future...💙💙and put God first😉
Thank you very much, in God we trust.
I have been driving this car for like 4 years now, if you are really a car guy/person. You will love the c63. I was just typing when you said about the c63 lol
I have driven the C63 once and I went crazy doing that. Very fast and loose! Crazy handling and stability too
W204 is an iconic symbol in all of East Africa especially in Tanzania
Oh wow, feels good to know
Glad I found this channel
I just came across your channel for the first time and I love it. I'm planning on buying my first car in three months time (specifically May), lot of people made different suggestions covering corolla 2010, 2007 Mercedes benz c230 sport, camry sport, and Mercedes-Benz c300. I will strongly appreciate it if you can help me make the final decision on this one. I must tell you that I prioritise luxury and ruggedness over fuel consumption. Thank you.
If you want a very reliable and easy maintenance vehicle with low fuel consumption buy a corolla, if you want something a bit more luxury and sportier than the Corolla then buy a camry. But then you said you prioritise luxury and ruggedness over fuel consumption so i’ll strongly suggest you go for a 2008/2012 c300 Mercedes benz. However if you want something more rugged, sportier and faster than c300 then go for c63 amg but that’s if you’re a fan of speed if not then stick to c300
@@Abdulrahmanmora
I really thank you so much for this. I'm not into speed at all.
@@shockandgiggle you’re welcome. Just give it thought and go for the one that you think is best for you
Pls leave benz go for lexus instead. There's luxury n more affordable maintenance
Avoid the benz either camry or lexus but if u love benz go ahead and get it.
the price depends on the year. 2017 c330 4Matic with 58kms on it here, costs 32,000CAD, plus tax puts it at 37,000CAD. and that's regarded are a very good deal, but again, everything you said is accurate, just be able to maintain the car if you can afford it.
Omo u did justice to this review
I swear u can be the Nigerian version of super car Blondie
Even better if I may add
Your vibe is on a different level
Nice review crank
I am now drawn to this car.
I love the fact that he isn't forming...speaking like a true Nigerian guy...
Sharp but my bro try de include security/crash/accident advantages and disadvantages of these vehicles…airbags and all of that..
Watching from NYC, u did great.
I agreed with you 100٪ if you are have this car many people think you are richer especially in Damaturu the state Capital of Yobe.
Awesome presentation man, I was really engaged through the whole video, but buying a Benz in Nigeria? It's a recipe for disaster, I'd say.
It's a car that has faults pretty often, especially on your roads, and you attract too much unwanted attention.
So it would keep you poor and get your robbed.
Same happens in my country with BMW's.
People should buy the best compromise between reliability, comfort, fun, looks, everything.
I hate boring cars but they're so reassuring when they never break.
I love BMW, Audi, Merc, Mazda, Jag, Volvo, but I don't love it when they eat up a few months of pay every year.
If fixing your car costs a months pay, maybe a German luxury isn’t for yku
@@dcrz not for me though, for my friends who are all about the looks
@@dcrz Also, this video is for Nigerians, your comment is so funny in that context.
Crank you're doing well, keep the videos coming I'm loving em all 😌😊
Lmaoooo thanks
Your review is on point.. great job ..
I swear. You get the point. ESP, cruise control. Lights. AC. You go tire. But it feels good. You go spend like 70k monthly to fix things oh.
Love your videos boss, relevant reviews we need here in naija, big ups boss
MY BROTHER!!!!!!! from accross the seas, automatic subscribe off the video edit and the beautiful vibe ! get better shots can be in the hood also in the mountain! of beautiful africa !
Alot of car jacked Mercedes in NJ end up in Nigeria
A Japanese car is more long lasting and reliable than a German car. German cars depreciate fast in America and don't hold their value as well as Japanese cars. In America German cars have a poor reliability record as well.✍🏽🇺🇲🇯🇲
Right because we have the nice long stretched-up roads to test their reliability. That old C350 or C300 will certainly break on the highway from NC to GA, to and from, to say the least.
Facts. That's the reason why cars like Toyota are big in Jamaica. German cars are fine in countries with smooth roads but countries with bad roads things will get expensive to maintain
@@pablo_fre5hcobar Don't forget German cars electrical problems as well. Or BMW many plastic hoses in the engine bay.
@@Blessedmind3041 😂 I’ve driven a Benz with over 100k miles and drove it over 30k miles no problems still go hard asf 🤷♂️ don’t know wtf people mean by not reliable only differences is price to repair
It's no contest Japanese cars are more reliable than German cars period! Check articles on "most unreliable cars" and Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Range Rover etc. come up all the time. Articles on "most reliable cars" and it's always Lexus, Toyota Honda etc. In Africa we really don't drive cars lots of miles or Kms for the true colours to come out. Lexus engines and gear boxes especially automatics are near impossible to destroy. Mercedes will drive you nuts with expensive sensor failures, cam shaft failures and software issues preventing gearbox from shifting. You cannot go wrong with a Lexus (I will kill for an IS 350!) Bullet proof engine and gearbox. In the US Lexus won the JD Powers quality survey 10 years in a row (num 1) as the least problems reported per thousands of users surveyed. Mercedes and BMW were like number 20... The Lexus LS 460 V8 engine is one of the few automotive engines certified for aircraft use by the FAA because of its legendary reliability and impeccable build quality. These engines are known to last over a million miles in the US! Mercedes is no match for Lexus in reliability. The German and English cars have unparalleled road and steering feel, handling and braking but I'd rather have a car I can be sure will take me there and back for the next ten years, maintain value and I can hand it down to the next gen with no major repairs needed that is Lexus or Toyota! I have owned Mercedes (C280, w202) what a night mare! Lucky it did not catch on fire! I owned a 1999 BMW 328i and their plastic water pumps and fragile hoses overheating everywhere. Audis are a disaster with camshaft failures. The first generation ML too was a total disaster. Benzes are no longer the icon they used to be. It's a shame what they have become. If you want reliable and affordable luxury go Lexus. They are DIE HARD! A Lexus IS 350 will spank a C 350 Benz in straight line acceleration any day! I'll give the handling to the Benz tho. That's my honest experience guys no bias towards Benz.
I love the way you carried the review, I'm definitely subscribing!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice review... Only pointer IMO, the editing & cutting can be better. Keep it up.
Talented youtuber
Ayeee miko😳😳
Come do a hood vid in new haven, CT
Shout out Miko 🔥🔥
Thanks Miko 🥺
I've watched a couple videos from this channel and I'm curious who edits these videos cuz they're really well edited
Ladies and gentlemen buy a car that fits you price range/class remember you can always buy a cheap shit box and upgrade it down the road. It's more unique to see someone put time into upgrading their car instead of repairing expensive electronics that come with the car. In my opinion
Great job with the review! Greeting from the Czech Republic
You suppose to add compare to your contents. Like Mercedes benz C300 vs 2016 Honda Accord Touring….Thanks really enjoyed watching this
We would definitely do that soon
Really nice review. Keep it coming man!
It’s more of an analysis than a review though 😂 thank you
I'm getting this car in few months time, thanks for the review.
Congratulations in advance
Save your time get a lexus
@@Kaash718 why did you say so? I'm actually considering LEXUS IS250 or ES330
Nice one crank, would have enjoyed it more if we're driving and reviewing
Lmaoooo, we would get there
i find it insane that this same car goes for upwards of 15m right now, wow.
Me trying to get a Honda accord 9th gen. Inside this Naija, I don't have money to maintain a newer mercedes
9th gen is alright, it just requires a lot of preventive maintenance
Facelifted W204. However that's a CLA grill
African top gear review I like it sir.
I’ve got the c350 coupe and feel like a small boy in Texas. :,) much love tho
