Toyota vs Mercedes Reliability (Can The Benz Win?)

[@mevlanisufi2100]

Hello. I'm from Europe, and it's interesting to hear a review from an American perspective. Here maintaining a Mercedes isn't costlier than maintaining a Toyota. In fact it's very easy to find cheap parts and the mechanics charge normal prices. Lexus on the other hand are considered expensive to maintain because it's hard to find parts for them and also not many specialists who know how to work on them.

[@ECPP]

That is interesting and I guess as cars that start in the home country are likely usually a little more supported. Thanks for sharing.

[@noneofyourbusiness5433]

In Australia Mercs are considered prestige cars. They are expensive to buy and own. People here don't know that in Europe Mercs are used as taxis.

[@ralphbrown1053]

Marc, I don’t understand your idea of quality experience. Knocking and picking on plastics in the car, pushing on buttons. Reliability is the ability to get you where you need to go and not have to worry that your wife is out with the car, possibly with your children, if you have them since you never mention that part, reliability is knowing that it would be prone to breaking down and leaving your loved ones stranded. That what I look for, if the car gets me where I need to go 99.9 percent of the time, I consider it reliable. If it has plastics, well I understand your point but it doesn’t necessarily stop the car from doing its job

[@Ymcdaj]

If the car is well put together like the outside parts, more likely the engine is made with the same integrity.

[@richardortiz8704]

I had a Toyota last over 600,000 me to sold it and the guy tore it up it was running fine with me Mexico you name it I've been there on that Toyota never let me down I should have kept that car when I had a 1 million miles right now on it or more😮😮😊😊

Hey Mark great video as always My opinion is as for reliability you can compare any Japanese car to late 90s mercedes not modern ones. Newer mercedes are up in technology but down in reliability that's it..

[@BlackhawkPilot]

I have driven MBs since the 1960s. I normally drive them for 300+K miles. I have never had to have one towed or had one that left me stranded. Along with the many other cars and trucks I have owned the MBs have had the lowest Total Cost of Ownership of the lot, i.e. (all costs - disposal price)/ total miles = TCO/mi. Current MB BEV has an estimated TCO (won’t know the real TCO until I dispose of it) of 35¢/mi.

[@Now_or_Never_777]

Mercedes Benz is the most reliable for its intended life span, ~5-6 yrs, despite constant innovations and new technologies. Toyota is more reliable longer term but relies on old tech.

[@Santoshlv426]

In Germany , a common car is the E Class (taxi's) and in fact the E Class was heavily sold to the German taxi industry way back when Mercedes was pushing sales from the 60's 70's onward. Globally the E is regarded as luxury. It's a matter of perception. The rubber on the Camry's hood is not to cover up a large panel gap, it's to seal and keep dust out. Lexus has this and Lexus has rubber stripping on all gaps incl. the doors for isolation. Nevertheless Mercedes is not what it was 40 years ago and if they were, they'd be out of business. The life of a car today is 5 years, like a Microwave. If you get anything more, you're lucky.

[@JasPlun]

Not even close that Toyota if maintained will be driving like it was new in 300k miles. The Benz will be great until it hits 100k-150k miles then will drive you to the poor house trying to keep up with all the repairs that also cost 3-4 times more than the Toyota repairs. By the way I have seen that Toyota Camry model with 300k miles on it already so they are already breaking the 300k mile marks. That being said the Mercedes rides and drives way better and is a totally different experience so for somebody that can afford it and the repairs will enjoy it way better than the Camry. Now why would you compare a Camry with a Mercedes? Not even an equal comparison. Get a Lexus and compare it to that Benz and I promise you it will blow it off the road in every category IMO:P

[@leiflillandt1488]

Do you really think that someone that buys a new Mercedes will ever "repair" it? No, if you buy a new Mercedes you sell it latest at 120,000 km /75,000 miles. Most of the cars last at least to about 150,000 km/90,000 miles. I would not call this reliability! After that the repair costs can be almost anything! The problem is that a car that wasn't sold first hand, can't be bought second hand.

[@JasPlun]

Garbage cars I would always choose a Lexus over any of their Garbage. The Germans should be ashamed because in the 70's and early 80's they did build the best cars ever made they would easily go a million miles. Now they barely last past 100k it is a complete disgrace. Japanese build cheaper cars that run circles around German Junk! People buy them for one purpose the name to say Hey! Look what I drive and that is it. Junk!@@leiflillandt1488

[@majorcalvary6515]

I have a 4 year old Acura, and a 5 year old MBZ. Acura service costs way less than MBZ. Acura has no issue at all with service that usually runs $100-$200. My MBZ had engine mounts replaced. One was cracked, and had to replace both total at $2000. Plus service at$1000. That was last maintenance bill $3000. One prior to that was $3800 for Services included tires, battery, differential, sparks plugs. The MBZ is reliable. Nothing is malfunctioning, but I’m just imagining if anything is broken; how much would that be?

[@riph5611]

Acura is just a Honda with different badge. Mercedes-Benz is the world's most famous automaker. They made the world's first automobile with over 100 years of history.👍

[@majorcalvary6515]

Very well. I don’t disagree with what you said, but I disagree that Honda is not as prestigious. So do you call an Audi and rebadged VW? I can assure you that Acura drives better than a Honda. Yes Honda has a shorter history than MBZ, but it still has a winning history and track record in Formula 1, Indy Car Series, IMSA, Motorcycle GPX, and Motor Cross. If you ever driven a NSX, you’ll not think less of Acura. I almost think of them as Japanese BMW.

[@riph5611]

@majorcalvary6515 There is no Acura in its country Japan, only Honda. The reason they rebadged it from Honda to Acura in America because they want to compete with other luxury brands and to make more profit. In Japan, they called Honda NSX and in America, they called Acura NSX but it's basically the same car. Honda or Acura is for poor people and Mercedes-Benz is for rich people. That's why we always see billionaires, millionaires, kings, queens, presidents and world leaders own and drive Mercedes-Benz.

[@williamegler8771]

Mercedes and Toyota both have similar rates of buyer retention so apparently they are both doing pretty well appealing to their customers. Those returning owners of both marques are happy enough with their present vehicle to buy another one from the same manufacturer. Comparing a mass-market brand to a premium brand is like comparing apples to oranges. I'm sure people shopping for a Toyota Camry don't cross-shop for a Mercedes C-Class or vice versa.

Who's ranking list was that at the end. It actually put BMW in 3rd place. I'm still going back and forth on my decision to buy either a RX350 or an X540i, (2020-2022 models). BMW scares though with their high price services. My2003 4.7l 4 runner is still running strong at 220KMs, can the newer X5 do that now? I know everyone is raving about the B58 engines and the ZF trannies. BMW resale values still tanks every year compared to Lexus.

[@pioneercolonel]

My Camry 2010 has a notch less than 300K miles on it. I just returned back from a short 10K mile trip across the East-West coast of the US and everything in between. The mechanical cost: One Jiffy lube oil change. So Benz can literally sit on it :)

[@taylor.7564]

Mercedes has two main different vehicle platforms: MRA (Mercedes Rear Architecture) and MFA (Mercedes Front Architecture), the Benz from Marc belongs to MRA platform which is often more expensive. I have realized (here in Germany) the cars from this architecture are much more complex and more costly to maintain where as the "compact" class MFA cars are more likely the Toyota build and cheaper in maintaince. The overall reliability is also very good at the "MFA Benz cars" this I can see in our "ADAC" (German Automobile club" analysis for reliability (each year there is a report) and Benzes like the Mercedes GLA, GLB for instance have very good performance in reliability. So what I want to say: Benz models can be very different in their reliability performance and cost of ownership. That is why I personally would always go for the "MFA" cars like the Mercedes B oder GLB class.

[@AvengerAngel]

I am a bit disappointed as an owner of a 2022 Tacoma and 2023 Rav 4 that Toyota is using plastic components in the last generation models. Hopefully, Toyota is following their tradition of quality parts and using better grades of plastics than German cars, but plastic and heat, with the alternating hot and cold temps of an engine are never good.

[@Canadian_Gamer]

Mercedes makes unreliable vehicles, there is no question. The big problem with Toyota is not the mechanical reliability but the quality of the cheap plastic that they use. You may be able to put 300k on the odometer but only if you look after the body. Older Mercedes (circa ‘87-‘02) were built better.

The Mercedes would cost more to fix the same problems

[@itsthemetho]

Mercedes-Benz has way too much electronics and complexity. I'm not doubting the engineering from them, but some of the design decisions could have been done differently. For example extremely long service intervals. Say 25,000km vs 15,000km on the Toyota. How did they achieve this? Better oils, much more oil to work less hard (to deal with % oil contamination and maintain additives levels), and sometimes better quality filtration (felt filters). The quantity of oil, special filters, and poor consideration for serving increases servicing costs and the likelihood that owners won't service them correctly.
