2012 C350 Vs Accord 2014. Advice Needed. by kowalsky: 1:10am On Jan 19, 2023
Currently contemplating using my life savings to get a car to impress (and intimidate) the chicks at my school.

I love the 2012 C350 but I'm also a die hard honda fan. I think The 2013-2016 accords are cool.

Super love the compact feel and look of the c350 and heard the driving experience is top class.
Concerned about maintenance and durability. I don't want a car that'd give me issues.

The accord is a little bit to 'family-man' like for me. I want to look like a classy Yahoo boy. It's Important that i turn the head of chicks everytime I'm cruising around school.
I also want a better driving experience. My 2007 honda was okayish on the road, could be better. I need something sportier.

If you've had any of these cars. What can you say about them?

Honestly if the C350 was made by Honda, this i'd be a no brainer for me. I'm not in a big city and i don't want to be posting everyday on Nairaland looking for an Mercedes Benz 'specialist.'

Thanks.

Go for the 2017 Accord Sport version.
The price difference is not much from 2013-2016

Or buy the 2013 model and upgrade to 2017. Simple

M276 engine is not a forgiving engine. It’s also more than 2.5m at the current market rates.
M272 is approximately 800-1m now.

Thanks boss. Appreciate the insight.

Is there a known issue with these engines failing. If it's on the off chance and more cautionary than certain for the engine to fail, it's a bill i can manage.

My main concern is with day to day reliability. I'd say I'm meticulous when it comes to maintenance. If I were to stick to factory recommendations for maintenance , do you see this car popping up with issues?

Manufacturer defect and also highly over engineered engine with very little tolerance for the slightest laxity.
A Honda engine is way more reliable than that Mercedes Benz engine. Remember, Honda is the biggest Internal combustion Engine manufacturer in the world.
