Extremism:I will strongly recommend the Toyota Sienna. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Nobody: 6:38am On May 14, 2019 |
CityNGR: From what I've seen in Lagos so far, the Sienna is not a friendly car for Lagos traffic. There is no day I dont see a broken down Sienna on Apongbon or Third Mainland Bridges with bonnet open and the owners standing helplessly beside it. ![]() 1 Like |

Extremism: Not all Sienna cars are Sienna. When you do direct fan connection, you are bound to have overheating problems with Lagos endemic traffic. But in all sincerity the Sienna trumps the Acura |

Extremism: Bro go for a Highlander. 4 plug. Gazzuzz Motors has one for sale. It's more economical and easier to Maintain |

[quote author=Extremism post=78370458]I have been thinking of getting an SUV because I have a large family (2 kids and a sister plus twins in view). I just can't take my mind off the Acura MDX 2005 model but I hear it has transmission issues and uses only premium fuel. Questions: 1. What does unleaded premium fuel mean and how do I know which fuel stations sell unleaded premium fuel? I live in Ajao Estate Lagos and work in Marina, Lagos. Presently No premium fuel in Nigeria so you may experience reduced, not such a big deal 2. How fuel efficient is the Acura MDX 2005?It is not designed to be fuel efficient(It is not a corolla) Use the correct fluid & You will be be fine.. If fuel economy & resell value is very important to you.. Please forget that Acura MDX |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Alfred2000: 5:08pm On May 14, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang:This information has been helpful to me considering that i had either of these vehicles in mind to purchase soonest. But perhaps I insist on going the 2005 MB c230 or c240, what range of mileage should i not exceed when purchasing? Most often i see miles ranging from 140-170km and i also see some from 190-210km and are even cheaper. Is there a problem with buying the c class with mileage that has 190km ? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 5:26pm On May 14, 2019 |
Alfred2000: If you're buying a higher mileage vehicle, go with the C240. It has a way more reliable engine than the C230. I'd aim for one under 150k miles, though. 1 Like |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Alfred2000: 5:39pm On May 14, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang:One last question. It there a problem with the c240 4matic? Because i read a post earlier when some adviced against buying the 4matic. Would you rather advice that i opt in for just the c240 without the said 4matic? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 5:42pm On May 14, 2019 |
Alfred2000: 4matic is Mercedes' all-wheel drive. Drivetrain and suspension parts are very expensive. Buy a regular RWD C240. 2 Likes |

Please house, what's your say on 2008 Scion xD? Thanks... |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:26am On May 15, 2019 |
Chechem: It shares platform with Toyota yaris, more like a 5 door yaris variant. 1.8L engine though the fuel economy is what baffles me, I was expecting something yaris style ![]() It's a Toyota Sha, reliability is not questionable. |
