Not sure about fuel consumption but everything else yes, I agree the Merc is a much better choice.Maybe a surprise to everyone...
Between Accord, Camry and Merz E220 Masterpiece,
The Merz fare all better then Accord & Camry,
In terms of better fuel consumption, comfort, spaciousness, reliabilty and quiteness of ride, and cheaper spareparts too !
Anyone agrees with me ?
Anyway between Camry & Accord 96, I'd definitely go for the Accord cuz it looks way much better and has more options to mod.
