Is A Mercedes Benz Safe?
If you are having a tough time trying to decide between purchasing a Mercedes Benz or a Honda, you may find many similarities between the two cars but there are some significant differences and a lot to consider. Overall, the most common concerns when deciding between cars is definitely not limited to appearance and performance but rather, and perhaps more importantly is considered, safety and reliability.
Take for instance the 2011 Honda Accord and the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-class. When compared on the surface, these two cars are not all that different from one to the other. However the Mercedes-Benz is clearly dominated by the Honda when it comes to safety and reliability and equally in appearance, size and performance. Still the ultimate factor will be in determining what the individual preference is and what expectations are from the car overall.
As for performance you may want to consider first the weather or climate of the area in which you live or will most travel in. Certainly adverse weather is a very important thing to consider and more importantly how the car handles such weather. This can be a very crucial consideration and should not be overlooked. Some other important factors when it comes to performance are brakes, speed, fuel economy and the engine overall. In spite of there being many other factors it is the fuel economy which is considered first. Fuel economy is clearly a significant thing when gas prices are so high. One may well base a lot on the fact that the estimated 26 miles per gallon that the Mercedes-Benz offers is a bit shy as well compared to the Hondas 31 miles per gallon for highway travels.
As for size and appearance, features as well as number of doors, these factors are very individualized on the preference scale. In other words, users must determine their individual needs. Something to consider between the mentioned models of Mercedes Benz and Honda . is headroom. The Honda offers the front headroom of 41 plus inches and the While the Mercedes-Benz, 37 plus. Now, a plus 4 inch difference may not seem that much and may never otherwise be noticed, unless you need it in which case it can make all the difference in the world.
Safety and reliability are truly a huge overall concern especially when subject to adverse weather conditions, carrying precious cargo and so forth. On the mechanical reliability score, Honda rates 9.5 out of 10 while Mercedes rates 7 out of 10. This rating is very pertinent to many consumers and may very well be the determining factor when deciding.
Overall the Honda does seem to fair well above the Mercedes when compared in depth. Again, while they may not vary all that much but on the surface the Mercedes-Benz is clearly dominated by the Honda. Now, the ultimate factor in determining which car is actually the best for you are going to be up to your preference. Some of these factors may not matter to you but it is always a good decision to get and analyze the facts prior to making that decision.
