Help!! I'm Confused In Choosing Between These Two Cars by prodigyy(m): 6:03pm On Jul 28, 2022 |
What's your opinion about these two cars Lexus es350 2010 and Acura mdx 2010 My budget is 6.5M I've done research about their specifications. I want a reliable car that won't give me headache and a car whose parts are available. |

You picked two very good cars. I would have asked you to go for the mdx cos being a long time Acura user, it's very reliable to the best of my knowledge but since you also mentioned availability of parts and I'm sure you want affordability too, I won't recommend Acura. The parts are fairly available but always very expensive so the best answer to your question is Lexus. If you want lexus, why not an RX instead of a ES. You can get a good RX 350 for that price. Trust me, it's important to consider ground clearance when choosing a car in Nigeria. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Kelvin30286063: @ bolded It is also important to consider lower ground clearance for vehicle balance on speed while outrunning Bandits, ISWAP, armed robbers, etc and also roll-overs that SUVs are generally prone to because of their high center of gravity... Not everyone wishes to have their hearts in their mouth when doing a mere140km/hr.. Op didn't tell you he wants to use the vehicle for mining operations, or as an excavator..and he didn't tell you he is blind that he won't slow down when navigating bad portions of road. Allow him use his money to buy what he wishes..People who have been driving the car he mentioned for years haven't died. 6 Likes |

buygala:So you think suvs don't have good balance when speeding. Lol Funny guy... Bring your slow clearance car and let's race with my suv. You'll understand what ground clearance actually means. Who the hell told you modern SUVs are prone to rollovers! You saw that on YouTube too? Anyway, ask any experienced car owner here and they will tell you the same thing, they prefer suvs. MDX is not a catapiller by the way, and if he knows it all, he won't ask for our opinion so at the end of the day, it's not about buying what he wants with his money. It's about giving him a good advice so he doesn't regret spending his money on what he won't enjoy. FYI, I was once like you. I loved low clearance cars so much that I still keep my Acura TL at home even though I now have a ZDX and a sienna but at the end, I'll always drive either my ZDX or my Sienna cos I don't have to gnash my teeth whenever I hit a speed bump or drive in a really rough road. Plus I don't have to spend too much on suspensions too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kelvin30286063: @ bolded You mean that questionable CRV you bought, repaired and gave your girlfriend that year? I don't wish you death Bro.. So i respectfully decline to race you.. Even if you come with any other SUV There is a reason why race-cars are as close to the ground as possible.. Continue flying into corners with your SUV bro .. Na only you waka come 2 Likes |

buygala:You obviously still drive an old car cos if you know the SMOOTHNESS modern SUVs take corners this days, you won't even mention that. Go and buy a good car bro. |

buygala: @ not everyone wishes to have their hearts in their mouths when doing a mere 140km/hrs. Lol. I use an suv and I can categorically say suvs ain't made for insane speed. Max for an suv should be 180km/hr, even that is overboard. But for comfortable driving experience, suvs ain't a slouch. Good ground clearance and better visibility, I will pick that anyday over insane speed 1 Like |

Kelvin30286063: There is a reason why most SUVs still have roll-over warning stickers somewhere in their interiors.. Happy flying with your SUV Sir |
Re: Help!! I'm Confused In Choosing Between These Two Cars by Kelvin30286063(m): 6:51pm On Jul 31, 2022 |
buygala:Oh so that's what your conclusion is based on. Interesting. So tell me, why does all cars have airbag safety warnings and children safety warnings. Does that mean the airbags will just deploy on their own? Lol You mean you don't know about vehicle safety regulations that insist that all vehicles must meet certain conditions before they can be allowed on roads? Let me give you fact today, apart from monster trucks, SUVs don't roll over on corners or turns except if something is seriously wrong with the suspensions or wheels. Especially wheel balancing and alignments. 2 Likes |

Funny how a lot of people just keep spewing nonsense even with the availability of internet research at their finger tips.. They are very quick to type shit but small research dey hard them.. I shudder to think that these same ill-educated idiots will likely be on an expressway, and might not only end up killing their worthless selves but also other innocent people.. Onto say Modern SUV get same speed balance as low-profile sedans Imagine trying to compare balance of speed of SUVs with low gravity vehicles like the ES350 and C300.. Dem say na "Modern SUV" ..

If you’re buying an SUV please keep it at the back of your mind that you should not drive at speeds above 100mph and attempt to take bends on the highways without using your brakes just because you’re following/chasing a sedan. it’s a sure recipe for disaster Even a lowly Toyota Corolla can take that same bend better than a Range Rover at that same speed because of the low center of gravity that the sedan has over the SUV. You can speed all you want while on a straight line but not corners. Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is only the fastest SUV while on a straight line, it can’t show itself in bends like sport cars Till today apart from popular rally events it’s still rare to see competitive road races where SUVs are used and the oyibo’s who engineered them have their reasons why. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

buygala:So you think that you educated us that SUVs are not safe cos they have a 14 to 23 percent chance of a rollover. Bro, you're still living in 2002. Since you're talking about education, you should also Google Stability Control and Super Handling - All Wheel Drive in cars from 2010 to 2022. My Acura ZDX has SH-AWD and I can literally see my tire pressure percentage go down on one side when I'm taking corners. Stop living in 1995 and embrace modern technologies and stop buying old cars too. Your 2003 corolla with low ground clearance will lose control and run into the bush if it takes tight corner at top speed cos it has zero handling assistance. Yet a 2015 MDX with Super Handling - All Wheel Drive will take the same corner and go smooth. All in all, no matter what you drive, speed still kills so I'll drop this topic here. 5 Likes |

Kelvin30286063: True. The MDX actually handles better than many sedans. That SH-AWD is wizardry. It's center of gravity isn't that high because it has a wide body. 1 Like |
