I'm in my middle 20's and looking to get my first car. My budget is 2.5m max. I would like the gurus here to advise me on the car to go for. I was looking at Mercedes Benz, I've always admired them from a young age but people have strongly advised me to run away from them cause of high maintenance costs. |

Please I need the guru in the house to explain this for 2009 vs 2010 Toyota rav is they any difference both the the interior and exterior? The fuel economy Durability Maintenance Resale value Rav 09 vrs 09 Highlander and 09 Lexus rx350 Nigeria road factor The market price for toks Thank u |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:30am On Sep 20, 2018 |
sKeetz: since you said you like benz, look for a C-class of year 05-07 which is within your budget. Buy a non kompressor as you are a newbie and leave 4matic due to price of their suspension system. 3 Likes |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:45am On Sep 20, 2018 |
freemayor4u: you keep spamming this thread I have answered you that the 2009 rav4 and 2010 rav4 has no difference. some were produced in 2009 while some batch were produced in 2010 interior, exterior, engine, parts, trim etc are the same. The rav 4 has a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine, the highlander has a 2.7L 4 cylinder engine while the RX350 has a 2.7L 4cylinder engine. All three share the same 3.5L 2GR-FE V6 engine. The Highlander and RX350 are same vehicle they share almost everything except shape. same 4cylinder and V6 engine. But the lexus is a very luxurious highlander while the highlander is a bigger ride with 3rd row seating. The 4cylinder lexus is rare most you will find are Toyota harrier mostly converted driving position this is due to the fact that 4cylinder rx never made it to the US. The Rav4 too has a spec that can accommodate 3rd row seating. fuel economy rav4 due to its engine type and size. highlander and Rx are close. maintenance Rav4 wins as it's part price and engine are cheap. durability Should be same for the V6 AWD of all contenders but the rav4 has an edge in its simplicity build. not too techy. Resale value Lexus wins here price for toks please go to olx and search for the cars you will come across a working price. |

sKeetz:2007/2008 Acura TL, 2005/2006 Lexus ES330, 2008 Toyota Camry, 2009 Honda Accord, 2005 Mercedes C320, 2007 Mercedes C230. A recent Hyundai Elantra is a good option, too. nurey: Huh? The RX350 has a 3.5L V6, hence "350". |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 9:29am On Sep 20, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: everybody knows that you didn't read my write up I caught you red handed |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:32am On Sep 20, 2018 |
nurey: You have a point, but it's a bit misleading. There are no i4 RX350s. Those are Harriers, like you said, and shouldn't be relevant here. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 9:45am On Sep 20, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: it's not misleading though. there are threads on nairaland about RX330 and RX350 which are actually converted Toyota harrier debadged and stamped with the corresponding lexus badge to fool unsuspecting buyers. Some harrier have a 3.0L 1mzfe that looks like the 3.3L 3mzfe engine. it was trashed on cartalk sometime ago. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by thebigkendo(m): 9:58am On Sep 20, 2018 |
nurey: Does that make it a lexus nurey: You edited/Modified your initial post about 2.7l 4 cylinder RX. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 10:06am On Sep 20, 2018 |
thebigkendo: 1 I don't modify my post, if I am wrong I am wrong nobody is an island of knowledge the 3 vehicles have same v6 engine type and I stated it there initially. If they weren't so close I would have differentiated them. 2. is there a 4cylinder 2008-2012 RX yes there is in Japan it is called harrier in Australia it is lexus Rx. there is no crime in driving a 4cylinder Rx it is even luxurious than a Base RX I am just letting the individual know that a 4 cylinder Rx by default is converted and from Asia or Europe. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by thebigkendo(m): 10:30am On Sep 20, 2018 |
nurey: Yeah You did not modified your post.. My bad, Sorry about that but you always shift goal post enh .. RX 350 and RX 270 are not same.. Find part of your initial post below The rav 4 has a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine, the highlander has a 2.7L 4 cylinder engine while the RX350 has a 2.7L 4cylinder engine. No 4cylinder Lexus RX 350 was ever produced whether for Japan or China or Australia or Nigeria And yes i saw how you stylishly used only "RX" in your last We all learn something new everyday but we should accept our mistakes and not try to justify or shift goal post I never knew about RX270 till early this morning when you posted about 2.7L RX 350, i always assumed every 4cylinder RX shaped car is a Toyota harrier |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 11:41am On Sep 20, 2018 |
thebigkendo: you and this your goal post shifting The Rx whether 4 or 6 is very luxurious. I think Toyota stopped the harrier badge in the RX300 before they started it again in 2014 upwards again. Nigerian dealers always remove the harrier badge also the harrier wasn't a stand alone brand it was always with the Rx. you known car manufacturers actually change car names because that particular name means something in another continent/country eg VW polo/rabbit, VW passat/bora, Nissan bluebird/Almera etc |

AgentSpoon: The Toyota Corolla is known for all round reliability and not a robbers magnet like it's predecessors. The 1.8L 1zzfe engine is a tank with its timing chain laser etched valve guides that engine is well built. very reliable, fuel efficient, durable and body is well built. As for the Capella mazda 626 it is rugged too as I can confirm but majorly the wagon type is what I know they use to move load like woods, planks and it is a favorite of the smugglers for smuggling rice, bales of cloths etc. it has a 1.8L, 2.0 for Europe version both 4 cylinder The Gbera engine (2.5L V6) is a wicked underrated engine very fast with good acceleration. I did say your comparism isn't too fair as the mazda is the camrys equal not corolla. I would say any you choose should be OK as long as it's a good specimen and you take good care of it. but pick the corolla only for fuel economy, resale value and strong body frame. 2 Likes |

Thank you. I appreciate. Predecessors? I think you wanted to say successors. nurey: |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by ibbkiddsx: 12:08pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
Please house I really want comparison on these SUVs. Because i intend to pick one. Toyota 4runner 08 model, Honda Pilot 09 model, Lexus gx470 06 model and Nissan Pathfinder 07 model. Fuel economy Durability Maintenance Interior suitability And which one can I purchase as Nigerian used |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 12:32pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
ibbkiddsx: All the model you are looking at is superior and fuel economy is identical in all trims but the pilot is the only one without a V8 engine the Gx is generally a v8, durability is same, maintenace is even identical but the lexus and toyota v8 is a bit above the remaining 3 though the pathy has a v8 too. Interior finish/loading/luxury/appeal gx470-pilot-pathfinder-4Runner you can purchase any nigerian used as long as it is inspected and certified in optimum condition, the pathfinder would be the cheapest to purchase, the Gx470 would be extremely expensive. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:44pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
nurey: Isn't the GX just an upscale 4runner? Buy the Pilot. Best value for money. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 3:34pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: the GX is much more than that, it only shares platform with the 4runner but bigger and luxurious. The pilot touring I doubt can surpass a well loaded GX470 but the pilot would be a better daily driver due to its engine configuration. 1 Like |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by weyreypey: 3:46pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
nurey:Tah!! I'd rather splash water on your korope with my GX than drive the funny pilot |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HRtechnique: 4:10pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
ibbkiddsx: I learnt no vehicle in its class can compare to the 4runner. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:17pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
HRtechnique: For off-roading? Probably. |
