Durchmann: The 07 G35 competes with the 4th gen TL (2009), not the 07 Acura. 07 TL is a fancy Accord for the most part. Get the Type S if you must get one, although those are getting a bit rare. The G35 drives better, is considerably faster, and handles better. It's just a better car all-around. The 09 TL with SH-AWD is what competes with the V36 G35/G37. The G is still the more driver-focused car but the TL looks better and is more luxurious. It's also a lot more expensive to own, though. That car parts dey cost die. The G is awful with fuel. I buy 40k fuel every month and I don't drive more than ~1000 miles. Don't buy a Nigerian used G. Unless you can get it properly inspected. |

Gurus in the house, I wish to appreciate all of you for the immense contribution made to this thread so far. Please I need to get a 'knock about' car that I plan on using for interstate 5-6 times a year. I am looking at 2001 406 and 2001 Merc C180, both manual. Which is better in terms of Performance Cost of maintenance Reliability Longevity Driving Experience Feel free to suggest any car that fit the purpose described. |

okpaniokpani:Just get a W202 instead. Those early W203's are garbage. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Nobody: 5:41pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang: Thanks for the response, is the W202 better in all parameters than the 406? I want to know the pros and cons to make a decision. Thanks |

HeavenlyBang: Acura overstretched the 3rd gen IMO, should have had a major design upgrade in 07. When they eventually did that in 09 it was just rubbish. Whatever it is Honda sees in that rear design you find in Crosstours, ZDX, 4th gen tl and Accord coupe is something I'll never understand. I look at those things the way I look at Volvos ![]() |

Durchmann: like adviced, there isn't much the Ohio 258hp or 286hp type S can do that the Japanese built G35 VQ35HR 306hp won't make better. Heck if you are even fortunate to jam a skyline RHD Japanese well converted one with 6speed manual transmission, that is a configuration feared by turbo charged and V8 powered sedan. |

mgbadike81: mgbadike81: 1) it's a 2000 Nissan which means tons of repairs and maintenance especially if 2) Nigerian used. Must likely crappy maintenance with wrong oil, engine and/or transmission replacement, KAZEEMIZATION, etc 3) you know nothing about cars. This is not where you want to start 1 Like |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by 9icetoo(m): 6:40am On Oct 19, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang:That's almost same with the TL. It runs on premium fuel and in the absence of premium fuel it guzzles fuel. I cover roughly 900 miles a month on the mdx (similar drive train with the TL). My mpg and that of a friend who drives the TL are same. So I assume our fuel expense within a month for same distance drive will be same. That being said, the TL (shawd) looks better and handles better that than the g35. 1 Like |

9icetoo: The TL definitely doesn't handle as well as the G35. I believe the G has a 51/49 weight distribution, with a Viscous Limited Slip Differential. Also has a lower center of gravity. |

My people, what's the deal with the Subaru Tribeca B9 2006 for use in Nigeria. I'm not concerned about fuel economy but parts availability as well as other pros and cons. Nurey Heavenlybang Radautoworks |

Vested: Subaru parts are scarce in the market especially 21st century models. if you can import parts from abroad I see no reason why you can't drive the vehicle. stick to the 06 and 07 model because of the Engine more popular less complicated 1 Like |
