Is Acura or Mercedes-Benz better?
My mom is considering buying a luxury car in a few years to replace her Mercury.
After reliability issues with American cars, my mom is disappointed with the reliability of them. My dad made the switch to Hyundai and we've had very good experience with them.
I know Acura is made by Honda, and Honda is said to be even better than Hyundai. But, while Mercedes-Benz makes cars of good quality, I've heard their reliability isn't as good as Honda or Hyundai (or Mazda, my family knows a lot about Mazda's reliability as my dad had considered buying a Mazda6). If Mercedes-Benz and the other German car brands no longer make reliable cars, why is this?
Mercedes hasn't made anything reliable since the 80s. The built to cost transition of the 90s really gutted Mercedes vehicles. As for Audio and VW, they've never built anything reliable since the VW Beetle. Only BMW seems to have held on, though with all the new electronics, it too is going downhill with the other German brands. As for Acura, every one of its models has a Honda counterpart. For example, a TL is just a glorified Accord. Acura sadly hasn't built anything that appeals to your emotions since the Integra. Try optioning up a Japanese economy car before considering a Japanese luxury car to save on maintenance costs.
- Some nobody in a Honda rear ended my Benz, how can I be compensated for my valuable time? His insurance is taking care of my car but so far it wasted 3 hours of my time. My salary is in the upper six digits so every minute counts.
- Why should someone living in section 8 drive a brand new Mercedes Benz SUV? Some people do not qualify for government assistance and drive a 2009 Honda civic and work 2 jobs. The one driving the Benz said she has no insurance and now she wants the city to buy her a new car since her vehicle got damaged by flood. Why should taxpayers pay for her and also for her to buy a new luxury suv?
- What car is better a 2017 Acura ILX or a 2016 Honda Civic coupe? I'm wanting to buy a car but I can't decide which is better (this is going to be a car for my son)
- Should I trade my 2013 Honda Civic EX with a 2011 Mercedes C300? I have a 2013 Honda Civic Ex with only 6000 KM on it. I bought it brand new for around $24000. but now I regret not following my heart and not buying the Mercedes C300. Would you trade in your new 2013 Honda with a used 2010/2011 Mercedes C300 with around 50,000 KM on it? Why and why not?
