Vision issues like the zdx which is why it was discontinued.. but then Nigerians no dey look back when dem dey drive grin

HeavenlyBang:

I've never actually driven the Crosstour or ZDX but do they really have visibility issues? After all the BMW X6 and GLE Coupe have similar silhouettes but no one complains about them.

Also, I don't think they were canceled for having poor visibility. They just sold poorly, I believe.

greenhulk:


Discontinued due to poor sales. Same thing with venza. Venza and crossrour are in between sedans and suvs and these days people prefer suvs especially now that they are more efficient , sporty and yet practical. No market for bloated wagons like crossrour or venza.

I agree with poor sales, if sales figures were encouraging, visibility could have easily been solved in a "next gen" by reducing pillar size and redesign of rear section

MPG/2.35=KM/L
47 miles per gallon = 20 KM/L = 5L/100 KM

The Range Rover is a trap, bro. You're better off buying an ML or something.

Your car does not require premium fuel. If it does, you won't get the stated mpg.
I consistently got above the stated mpg on my Camry (sold), my Skoda (diesel) and my Honda city. These did not require premium fuels.

It requires Premium

I'm a Mercedes fan but the company's brand image is terrible at this point, imo. So stereotypical.

Major reason why I haven't bought a Merc is that there are just a lot of better cars at that price point.
W203? Worse than the Acura TL.
W211? SBC issues.
W204? Acura TL and Infiniti G35/37 are better cars. It's also overpriced.

W212 is the only Merc I'd consider but it's above my budget right now. There's simply not a lot of value for money in buying a Mercedes.

Also, I'm not sure why you're using celebrity opinions as proof of anything. Odds are none of them know anything about cars.

2009/10 Acura TL is one of my favorite cars.. though can't afford one now but I hope to be able to get one in the near future.. I know some people would attack me but I prefer a Honda to a Toyota.. it's only the Lexus that catches my fancy.. ES350 & GS300 2010 upwards great rides

It was discontinued for poor sales. Unlike the MDX series that has seen growth the ZDX in total has sold less than 20,000 world wide.

No. 2002 Civic had a lot of issues. I'd only recommend the 04/05. Those are solid, I believe.
