Please i will like to know if the 08(new shape) & 09 corolla comes with 1.8L engine? Thanks

nurey:


yes they have 1.6 or 1.8L engine.

Essont:
I have been observing the car brand as they make good and appealing cars that are grabbing my attention lately, please i need help on this.

How reliable are they?
Do the make L4 (4 plugs) of there cars? Most of the ones I have seen are V6.
How is there maintenance like?
How luxurious are they?


Please experts in the house help out, i need to make a decision soon.

HeavenlyBang:


How reliable? They're Hondas. Electronics are a bit more sophisticated but the power and drivetrains are very reliable.

Do they make L4 engines? No such thing as an L4 engine. It's i4, for inline-four. Acura generally uses the J Series V6 engines. However, a few have used four cylinder engines. The first-gen TSX is a Euro Accord with the i4 K24, I believe. The second gen TSX was offered in i4 and V6. The first few years of the RDX used a turbo i4 configuration.

Bigger cars like the TL, RL, and MDX are strictly V6.

How is maintenance like? They're Hondas. Treat them well and they'll return the favor. Mechanical components aren't that expensive, but body parts may be.

How luxurious? Generally a [s]step below Lexus in terms of quality of materials[/s] but they have more technology.

good morning house... pls i need analysis fora friend on Gs 350 2008, Gs2011, and Es350 2008...

HeavenlyBang:


The ES is the cheapest Lexus sedan, I believe. It's a level below the GS.

ES is FWD, GS is RWD.
GS drives better, is more luxurious, has more power. ES has more rear legroom, is cheaper to maintain, and looks better, imo.

Between the gs300 and the GS 350
Pls which is better

nurey:


i would pick the gs300 only because engine is cheaper and less complicated than the 350 which is fitted with a 2grfse which cost around 1m plus.

lekbel09:

between the Honda civic 05 and Toyota corolla 04 which is better in terms of fuel economy, durability, maintenance, spare part availability and the likes.Am talking of tokunbo and also price cos I have about 1.7 milli budgeted

picaso313:
but if well maintained hope the engine can last i mean gs350... wat do u think about the is 250 models

nurey:


offcourse the engine can last.

IS250, compact luxurious vehicle, good to go but not as fast off the line due to low power engine. But a reliable vehicle all the same

picaso313:
then the gs350 has it... thanks alot..thou we r still brain storming on d diff btw 2008 and 2010 model of d gs 350

radautoworks:


So you agree with me.

Looks are subjective so I won't debate you on that. Historically Honda always used to edge or Toyota because of looks. It was certainly the only justification I lost a lot of Toyota sales on back in the day. People just liked the look of Honda better even though they agreed the Toyota was the smarter buy.

As far as driveability, Honda's focus was on speed. Toyota on comfort. For that class of car, I take comfort over speed.

People tune Hondas to improve them. No need with Toyota. For the tuning market, that's why there's Scion.

I posted somewhere this year's rankings and yet again, Toyota is 12 places ahead of Honda. The proof is the resale value. Toyotas retain their value better than Honda. All it takes is a few blue book comparisons.

lekbel09:
In fact your thorough analysis just made my day.Please what corolla would you recommend for use on uber based on fuel economy, maintenance and parts availability

easysunny:

What are the pros and cons of the 2007 Lexus IS 250/350 cars. How would they fare compared to cars like the 2011 Toyota Camry, 2011 Honda Accord, 2010 Mercedes Benz C300 in terms of Cost of purchase (Used), Reliability, Cost of Maintenance and Parts.

HeavenlyBang:


Lexus is by far the most reliable brand in the world. An IS350 and C300/C350 of the same year costs about the same.
Parts of the Merc should be more available, and also more expensive.

Buy the Lexus. The IS350 is a really fast car, but the engine costs about 1.5m. The IS250 is slower but its engine is a lot cheaper. I'd buy the IS250.

johnnyandy7:


The IS250 seems like a more reasonable car. I don't mind its slowness, where am I speeding to.
How much is it's Engine ?

Greenarrow01:
Pls what's now the difference between the gs300/GS 350. And the is250/is300

Are the GS better and more efficient or what

banky3w:
Please house, is there any other technical difference between 2006 Audi A6, A4, S4 and S6 apart from the different engine configuration?
