Any one you choose would serve you well. for the 4.0L V6 frontier ensure to check if it has undergone the radiator bypass.

interns of part price and availability the frontier tops, though the Ford parts you get will always be original and last

Good evening house,
Please, what are the pros and cons of 2.4L 4-cylinderToyota Camry 2007

in summary it's a good car, 07 is prone to gear fault but ensure you change the fluid regularly I believe it should be type T-IV or toyota WS. Use full synthetic fluid from reputable manufacturer as the 4cylinder 2.4 is prone to engine burn.

The major thing is that it is a robbers magnet

if you need sedan, fuel economy and your route have good roads, buy the Camry.

If your route roads are bad RX besides the RX still has luxury accessories and interior finish and we'll furnished than the camry even though there is disparity in years

I don't know much about this Almera though but I have always had fear for the ride because the engine is of Renault origin.

Also the resale value is extremely shitty and it is fitted with CVT or Automatic but that depends on the market it came from. Mostly bought brand new in Nigeria.

I have seen the bluebird syphlys variant and I can say the outward appearance is the most well packaged compact vehicle I have seen

thanks for the input.

I'm a first timer so aside it is deeply low on second hand resale value I can't understand what you mean


but I'd suppose you'll recommend or condem it for Uber use

thanks baba

What is it about BMW that gets people talking? What are the general problems with BMW? Is it really a bunch of scrap put together or is it a piece of German engineering that is misunderstood?

Tuning an RCF to make 510 HP isn't really impressive. Pretty sure you can do that with just headers and an ECU tune.

Still nice to see, though. wink

even before watching it I had the feeling the accord will win the race,accord in most cases are faster than Camry, just like Civic faster than corolla is most cases to..and the turbo also is a boast for the accord.

That Honda Accord is pricey.

I've always told anyone that cares to listen...
"Honda Accord of any year drives and handles better than Toyota Camry of same year".

Good morning fam

Please I need a comparison between 08-10 Toyota Highlander and 04-06 Lexus gx470.

In terms of:

Reliability and durability

Cost of maintenance

Resale value

I know they’re v6 and v8 respectively, is the fuel consumption of the gx470 significantly different from the v6 highlander?

The Lexus is my first choice but I’m a bit concerned cos of the v8 engine. Never used one before and I enter traffic a lot. I have no issues with the v6 consumption

Thanks guys
