I have an 08 Honda Civic and a 05 Pontiac vibe which is like a corrola,

The Civic is sleeker, has better handling, fancier interior and better safety (side airbag front and back seat, Toyota only have for front seat ), the Honda has colder AC. Acceleration is better on the Civic, fuel consumption is better on the Civic
, Toyota has a better ride height, for
Ruggedness will say Toyota is better / the Honda can be rugged if you stick to manufacturer specified fluids and maintainaces.


If I am to choose only one, I prefer the Civic for the reason above

Highlander is bigger than the other two so uses more fuel. Other than that, flip a coin though I'm partial to the RAV4. We've owned 4 of varying years and liked them all. Also, I almost always go for the better car unless it's the first year of a serious overhaul.

Please what car is the best buy for a SUV or SEDAN. Road Safety is my priority as my old Toyota corrola feels lighter on the highway at top speed.

I have a budget of 4m. Your advise will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by awele186: 7:40pm On Aug 14, 2020
Is this same for 2013 lexus es350 and Avalon 2013?

Both vehicles are durable but the ES is touted as more durable with good build quality because it is made in Japan and quality control was strict.

Faster both vehicles have same 2grfe v6 engine
ES has 272hp 0-60 in 6.2s
Avalon 280hp 0-60 in 6s (05-06)
Avalon 268hp 0-60(never revealed but claimed to be same) 07 upwards.
The ES during its time was known as the fastest fwd luxury Sedan around. Also fun to drive compared to the Avalon due to size and less drag coefficient.

Fuel economy is pretty close
Avalon 20/29
ES 21/30



Advanced in tech the ES has more airbags, out of the factory fitted navigation and backup cam, power steering tilt etc the Avalon depends on trim and package to come close or be on par.

Its called adaptive cruise control both vehicles have it.

Verdict both vehicles meet your requirements the Avalon is a poor man's Lexus LS with 6 cylinder engine good for family size and more of a vehicle you should be driven in not driving yourself.
The Lexus badge In the ES has that premium appeal, good build and enough room for comfortable seating. If price isn't an issue the Lexus should be considered

Like my boss above said, the 328i or 330i are also good options. Not a 335i.


An Acura TL SH-AWD is another option.


Personal, though, it's the 328i, 330i, or C300 for me.

Sorry to disturb. Which of these options is cheaper in terms of maintenance. And also availability of parts and repairs.

The BMW parts should be same except engine configuration and cheaper than the C300 however the C300 parts would more available than BMW but if you're in Lagos you shouldn't have problem with BMW parts except /M parts tho

Volvo is built for safety.
Get an xc90, research on the safety and crash test results for that car compared to others as well as the included safety features.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cue9QkeYP0E

5 star crash test ratings, fatality rate almost zero
