Hard to say....Hondas easily see 250K to 350K miles when maintained well...

But then its apples and oranges..some people will put more into a benz to keep it going since it cost more...and Hondas well some don't need much..but its not a pricey car so its the younger guys that get them and work them up to keep them going...

Both are good cars when taken care of....

Lots of american cars last way past 100K......and many have better quality than Benz these days. Per JD Powers.
