Does Acura Have Higher Safety Ratings than Most other Manufacturers?
While Acura safety ratings give the automaker some pretty good bragging rights, you must remember that there are other vehicles out there that score equally as well. Lexus, for example, has a set of high safety ratings, as does Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division. Even Hyundai has some high ratings after having the new Genesis named the North American International Auto Show Car of the Year. Also, if Acura has higher safety ratings than most other manufacturers, it would stand to reason that Honda would also, because Acura is Honda's luxury division.
What Luxury Car Brand Is Known for Very Costly Maintenance?
The luxury car brand known for very expensive maintenance is Mercedes-Benz. While both BMW and Audi are expensive to maintain, they offer programs where the owner or lessee pays very little for maintenance as long as the maintenance is done at the specified intervals by the dealership. With a Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, a simple job such as re-facing a disc rotor can cost you nearly $1,000, and you will be expected to pay for it before you can leave the dealership with your car. This is one of those cases where third-party maintenance insurance may be a good idea.
