No lie, don't know anything about ISF/GSF,don't know cars just like you said, please let me know. If is AMG variant/ Msport,have seen & touch it, told a big sis I like her car(brand new)& will pick it over jeeps(Toyota,Honda,Lexus,venza&Rav4) C class and big Toyota muscle, and aunty was telling me how her car will buy two of jeeps, buy 3 other cars and still collect change in million.She go far by saying I will sell it after 2yrs and invest it in my biz or build more new flat( lots was running through my head,me never buy bicycle or bike, poverty yy,poverty die) also thinking aunty was exaggerating and joking. Told a big bro what aunty said,bro ask did she tell u the worth of AMG? said NO! bro said she doesn't want to spoil my mood or spoilt my stomach. bro said she told the truth or maybe exaggerate it. Lol, u know what is funny, Toyota dat is muscle, she said she will forgive if someone bash it, I said if I bash the AMG, said she will lock me up. My mind was saying she will sent me to jail,if is anyone she may kill. so oga for u to know I don't know cars, what is so special about is350?(wondering what I can do with is350,kindly post pic)compares to AMG?(big aunty knows what I can/will do with that AMG). That Benz C300 wow me,and I will still try and do magic against is350, u said is350 will kill the C300 by far,right? someone in thread said the FRSC&I on the road were day dreaming and seeing nonsense, even said is250 beat the Benz C300. Pls expert should prove me/the person wrong on comparing the is250 and C300... because what I saw in practical is totally different.

Indeed. Because of the way you see those pilot overtake cars in the highway. Not knowing the engine capacity is 2.7l.

170k/hr for five minutes will separate the engine and transmission fron the chassis of the car.

Civic is good and easier to maintain. Its also fre from leg issues unlike the Accord.

Accord on the other hand seems stronger. If you're a family man who would love to travel home during yuletide period, the Honda civic will literally be groaning after loading your family and some bags. The civic doesn't perform well when loaded unlike the Accord.

That aside, its more economical than even corrolla and the parts are relatively cheap.

That ford looks wayyyy better.
Especially the titanium trim with sony sound system.
But it has known transmission and fuel delivery issues.
The 07 Lexus es350 is wayyyy more reliable and advisable to buy if do not have deep pockets for maintenance. If you can, get the 2010 model instead.

Hello everyone

I reside in the UK and I wanted to upgrade my car to an SUV.

I'm torn between a 2015 lexus Nx 300H (F Sport variant) and a 2015 Mazda Cx-5 (automatic, 2.2L Skyactive Diesel AWD, Sport Nav trim)
The lexus is more reliable, but the Mazda is a handling beast and has good reliability too for that year, compared to a BMW X3/X5.
I'm not sure if the F Sport Lexus Nx handling matches the Cx-5's

I'm only concerned about handling, driver-assist technology, cabin quality and overall driving/ownership experience

What are your thoughts please? I'll definitely test drive both before finalising my choice.

Or can you recommend any other SUV with the handling of a Cx5 and the reliability/interior of a lexus? 😂

Anyone of them would do, go with a test drive though I even heard that in UK you can test own for some days and return if not satisfied. I believe road task and other sundry things should determine your choice but that diesel engine is tempting.

You already know the lexus beats the mazda in reliability.
Hope you know there are new ULEZ zones in the UK now so you have to be sure the mazda meets euro 6 emission standard.

For me o:
Handling - similar (though the mazda might slightly edge the lexus in this category)
Driver-assist technology - Lexus (though the infotainment might be a bit tricky to navigate but better than mazda's bland interior)
Cabin quality - definitely lexus
Overall driving/ownership experience - Mazda because the lexus uses a CVT which just groans when throttle is floored unlike Mazda which uses a standard auto tranny.

That car is excellent except for the CVT transmission which most of our kazeems know nothing about.
Check out the touring trim with 3 screens. Interior is so sweet

Thanks guys. @olumzz, itsrm. I didn’t purchase the car today again, noticed that the vehicle was used here but not registered. The available direct 2017 was above my budget.

It may not necessarily be a bad buy depending on when it was cleared and the price. Anyway, it's a popular vehicle. You'll see another that ticks all boxes for you.
