The ES350 is a fancy Camry. The GS is more complicated.

Both are reliable, but I'd probably go with the GS tbh. I've seen cases of transmission issues on quite a few ES350s.

Keep in mind, however, that GS parts and maintenence is more expensive.

Thanks boss

Different states of tune, I believe. I think the ES has a slightly higher compression ratio.

Meanwhile, lighter oil for the Highlander because it's expected to tow?

Hello house. Which of these 2 cars should i go for:

2005 Nissan Almera 1.8L Engine Auto
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8L Engine Auto

Considering durability, availability of parts and easy/pocket friendly maintenance. The car will be used by a woman.

Both cars seat on the same platform meaning everything you see about the cars is interchangeable to the tiniest part, the only difference is the body design.

The Almera is an european market car while the Sentra is sold only in United States (North America).

The Almera is a far superior vehicle than the Sentra interms of offering, some came factory fitted with navigation screen, rear view camera, information display screen for mpg, warning display and a host of other things on the 5 or 7inch screen.

As beautiful as the Almera is, after probably 2 years of experiencing Nigerian pothole filled roads and dragging with okada it is going to deform the body isn't strong to withstand the stress.

The Sentra on the other hand will take all the stress and keep it's shape as long as you want.

The other strong Almera is the Almera Tino but watch out for the CVT fitted ones.

Also Almera comes in RHD and some few LHD. but Sentra comes as LHD

Acura TL fits perfectly in your choice considering your factors just ensure to always buy octane booster to bump up the fuel to premium.

The GS ain't bad either but expensive parts.

It isn't fair to pitch the Camry against the competitions Camry is an ordinary ride where those ones are. But buy the Camry if you prefer ordinary stress free driving offcourse watch your back for robbers and vandals.

Camry and ES cheapest to maintain and most tolerant.
TL offers best driving experience in SH-AWD trim, with the GS coming second.

Buy a TL with SH-AWD. Thank me later. Body parts are quite expensive, though.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by loveson(m): 4:01pm On Dec 27, 2020
I used to drive a Lexus ES, so I quite understand if the parts can be expensive. I know it's not as expensive as that of Mercedes Benz E class

Thank you HeavenlyBang

I read that the 2010 Acura TL is the worst Acura TL model year, is this correct? And that one of the most complaints are that it consumes lots of oil. Is this also true?

Nah. The SH-AWD did have oil consumption issues, but nothing major.

GS350 is more reliable.
C300 parts are more available.
Maintenence costs are similar.


However, the GS350 is a much better car. Better ride quality, better interior, way better engine.

Guys. I have interest in Camry for my first ride. But I would prefer one with same fuel economy or close to that of Corolla but with better performance and interior. Please house, what are my options and how much am I looking at? I can also settle for spacious Corolla.

Your inquiry is vague and you may likely be ignored by some people who can give you advice on your choice of your next ride.

Look at the poster immediately below your message and above this message and take cue from his message description.

By the way, your words in bold got me undecided undecided undecided
