Suzuki is doing promo. Brand new, zero mileage for 9m. What do you guys think? I think this will be good for rideshare. 1 Like

Good day everyone, i need a honest opinion between Lexus Es350 2015 and Avalon 2015, which one is a better option? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 3:19pm On Aug 13 |
Emm22: They are both almost identical in Performance, but the Lexus has more premium to it in the area of accessories been standard on it and optional on the Avalon 2 Likes |

please help with one 2010 Acura Tsx 2008 camry 2007 Avalon naija used o the avalon seem cheaper than Camry even though better loaded... please why is this does it mean it's a bad car... it's a second car |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 11:07am On Aug 16 |
olaboyeh: Acura TSX 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6 Camry 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6 Avalon 3.5L V6 out of the 3 i will pick the Acura because it is more premium out of the three vehicles, has the best 4cylinder engine and will out perform the competition. It is just a very premium honda accord of same generation so parts is not an issue. Buy the i4 for fuel economy and v6 for optimum performance. Avalon will be my next pick, cheaper than the camry, not a robbers magnet compared to the camry and more premium than the camry in offering. Though the 268hp 2gr is very solid and can still keep up with certain competition. fuel economy is average The camry is my last choice, the 2gr is same as avalon while the 4cylinder 2az is prone to oil burn except it is the japanese made variant. It is a robber magnet, parts i am certain would be more expensive than avalon. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Greetings all, 2nd time car owner. I own an RX 300 but I plan selling it because it swallows fuel alot. I'm considering getting sth better but I'm torn between Ford Edge 2010 and Honda Crosstour 2010. Any expert opinion on fuel consumption and maintenance? Or a better alternative at that price range. Thanks |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by maik99(m): 8:06pm On Aug 30 |
chanceux: I don’t think you should be considering Ford Edge if you are concerned about fuel Rx 300 to ford edge is frying pan to hellfire 1 Like |

Hi guys, please I’m in the market for a Rav 4 2013-2015. I want to know which year to avoid or if there’s any year that is more reliable. Also if there’s a better alternative ride in the same class and budget. All opinions are welcome. Cc nurey, heavenlybang etc |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Dozieson(m): 5:00am On Sep 01 |
computerboy: Go for 2015. The later years always correct the issues of the earliest year |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Camoready: 11:16pm On Sep 14 |
Please which is better for local used purchase. 2014 Corolla or 2014 Accord. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Louiscars: 5:39pm On Sep 15 |
Camoready:In terms of class, they actually aren’t up to par The Toyota is a compact sedan The Honda Accord is a mid size sedan In terms of reliability, both are very reliable, the Corolla wins the this factor though ( if you’d prefer the Honda go for the 2015 model at least) Price of part Sourcing parts for both vehicle shouldn’t be and hassle as they’re pretty common ( some parts of the Corolla might be pricy though ) Fuel economy the Corolla take the win with its smaller displacement engine ( if you’d prefer power go for the v6 Honda p.s I have one for sale ) In terms of design and features the Honda wins here especially going for its top tier trim the Corolla is more bland. Winner of today’s race depends on what you want from both vehicles. If you’re based in Lagos I do comprehensive pre-purchase inspections contact @ 08028992075, thank you. 3 Likes |

Good Morning Sir BMW has been my dream car especially the M3 or M4 but I don't know much about it's durability, maintenance and also if it can breakdown bad when it goes into a water puddle just like some Benz And maybe a comparison between the M3(2018) and Dodge charger (2015-2018) would be appreciated nurey:

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:32am On Sep 20 |
KDInteriors: I dont expect someone who can afford such car to have problem with maintenance. If money isnt an issue the BMW is a better car to drive than a dodge charger, the BMW does everything better. But when you have bought it, i would advice you have a medium scan tool to atleast scan for error codes on your own to pickup minor issues b4 it blows to high proportion, you must also have a modern garage to for regular and timely maintenance and fix you should also have funds available to avoid expensive fixes when you begin experience minor issues. Above all, these cars are not what one should be pulling everyday, they are meant for occasional joy rides like weekends, special occasions, so it would last if you have an everyday car other than one of these choices. 3 Likes |

nurey:Good day chief, I need your advice, I’m looking to get a Mercedes Benz C300 2017, I want to consider any other options before finally settling for the one to get, please can you recommend other cars I can look into equivalent to the c300 or better |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 1:45pm On Sep 21 |
kobams: That vehicle was fitted with the M274 a 2.0 turbo charged 4-cylinder which was known to have a piston defect for the US market. Maybe you should do a C400. Also I am not a fan of turbo charged vehicles not to talk of one that is a 4-cylinder but ensure 1. You do a VIN check for the specimen you intend to buy, to confirm if the engine was part of the defective one and if it has been fixed under warranty 2. You can comfortably afford the maintenance cost interms of the oil and original recommended fluids 3. There are capable hands near your location to handle maintenance and fix. There is no replacement for hearts desire though, because the Benz badge is premium, but you can check a Lexus ES or GS they are close in terms of luxury |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by kobams(m): 2:40pm On Sep 21 |
nurey:Thanks chief, I was also looking at the BMW 330i 2018 it costs almost the same and I’ve seen quite remarkable comments about it, what do you think? Or is there a BMW around that range that you can recommend? |
