The honda is good for now, but the Mercedes just has so much more style.
I drove a corolla for a few weeks, while i was selling it for a family member, it was terribly uncomfortable in comparison. It was good transportation, but sadly it was very bare bones. I would never buy one. I'd rather have a few troubles and enjoy my benzos, than mess with some other boring non descript car.

Be careful and best of luck.
