I always wonder why Toyota venza was discontinued because of poor sales.. My personal opinion : that car have better shape than lexus RX.. Infact i love both the interior and exterior than the RX(the crossover kinda look ugly to me) I even know a woman that had both Lexus RX and venza, she preferred the venza, and adore it.. Why the discontinuation of that beautiful crossover.. Cc: nurey, heavenlybang |

aro1: Toyota can later resurrect it once they find the right market to push it to alot of auto makers hack models not doing well to later on offer it at the right time. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by KINGreignn: 6:33pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
aro1: It had no origin no history nothing to go for it. It's quality was bleh. That said, it's being reintroduced come 2022 although in hybrid form. Lexus RX on the other hand has pedigree, history, was and is still ground breaking, is a better quality build fit and finish. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:11pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
aro1: Uninspired sales, too niche at the time. Do you think it's a coincidence that the Crosstour and ZDX were also discontinued, around the same time? Toyota shrank the Highlander a bit, making the Venza redundant too. Plus the Highlander badge has more cachet. There's just no place for the Venza. |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:38am On Mar 03, 2020 |
frypuffpuff: The camry is a robber magnet compared to matrix. Camry is also bigger and popular, you may get flagged down often if you are young in a camry and for interstate to check if the vehicle is stolen. I would only pick the matrix if I like sports car because the engine in the S is 2.4L |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by frypuffpuff(m): 7:21am On Mar 03, 2020 |
nurey: Thank you. I'd also need more detailed review on the matrix, as I have seen enough review on camrys. Detailed review on 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix. Thanks boss. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:51am On Mar 03, 2020 |
frypuffpuff: The matrix is a reliable vehicle though the 09 upwards isn't as fuel efficient as the corolla. But has better fuel efficiency than the 2.5L camry. Reliable and parts available since the parts is identical to corolla. The choice between the two is basically yours both vehicles are reliable what is left is whether you want a Sedan or an hatch back. 2 Likes |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:56pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
egesie: Jejely buy a C320 rather than the kompressor C320. The 07 V6 Accord gear get as he be, only for the faint hearted |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 8:32pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
nurey: The 07 C230 is not a Kompressor engine. It's the M272 V6. Same engine on the W204 C300 and C350, just lower displacement. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by oshosegun27(m): 9:56pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
Heavenlybang, I would like to know if the VQ35DE engine will fit in a 2007 Infiniti G35 without having to fabricate stuff. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:16pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
oshosegun27: Why on earth would you want to put a much worse engine in that car? If you mean whether the DE will fit inside the engine bay, I really don't know, lmao. My engine bay is suuuuuper cramped already. If the DE is even a bit bigger, it won't fit. If it does fit in, good luck trying to work with Nissan electronics and accessories. Just go buy a HR engine. They're about 400k, which is a ridiculously good price. 2GR-FSE with similar specs is over 1m. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by egesie(m): 11:18pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
nurey:Would a C350 be better? And what are the points to note? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:01am On Mar 05, 2020 |
egesie:Yes a C350 is very good powerful and reliable engine |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by egesie(m): 3:55pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
nurey:Please what's the recommended engine oil and ATF? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 4:28pm On Mar 05, 2020 |
egesie: 5w30 synthetic oil should do your engine good MBZATF 236.14 transmission fluid I believe the C350 uses a 7speed instead of 5 speed. But post your query in the Benz thread so close alternative can be given https://www.nairaland.com/520025/mercedes-benz-thread 1 Like |

Gentlemen, Thank you for the wonderful help and analysis here. I need your help. This is my first car and with a salary of less than 150k. I am in need of a car with Durability to withstand 5hours of Uber/Bolt at my off duty in Abuja. I approached a dealer friend to help me get a Tokunbo corolla 06-07 but he's advising me to rather go for a Camry 07-09 that the price difference is less than 200k and that the Camry is more suitable and command more respect. He's saying Landing cost is 1.6m for corrolla and 1.8m for the Camry but my budget initially is bellow 1.5m. Assuming i am ready to spend 1.8m please do you advise i put such money to buy the Camry, which other car will you advice me to get. I love Lexus especially the E350 but I doubt if the car can withstand using it for Uber. Please i will appreciate suggestions putting in mind Price Maintenance Economy Durability and comfort - it will also serve as my private car for me and my wife. Please urgent before i go enter trouble. 1 Like |
