He was, he is and he will still continue to be a Town planner by profession, his passions and interests are Automobiles hence his active stay in cartalk and autos section, he is only fulfilling a part of his hobbies by getting all greased up in his uncle's workshop (which he always visit once a while prior to now).
If you give him a building construction, you'll be positively amazed, give him a car, you'll be wowed.

Lets stick to thread topic, it says accord vs IS300/330

abatically:


A 2004 Lexus Ls430 is still ahead of a 2008 honda accord. From the interior finish to entertainment system to safety features to comfort and luxury, the Lexus is far ahead. We are talking full size luxury against a mid size non luxury. U want compare the leather seats in a Lexus to that of an accord v6? Th difference is very clear.

Ok the accord is better in one area... Fuel economy lol. I don't expect anyone that drives a Lexus LS 430 to care about fuel economy.

chucky234:
hmmm I suspect identity theft....
The fingers behind this moniker type more like our dear AutosBay than Lomomike.

chucky234:
Aside being fitted with a V8 engine the 2004 LS have nothing against 2008 Accord V6, the LS like its Lexus siblings have very poor leather seats.

is that all. I doubt if the LS will have more airbags than the Accord, nah only walnut finish wey accord no get. The Accord is also a comfortable seater with enough leg room but the LS is more. With the year difference I still think the Accord is better since change is inevitable, the changes found in the accord has made the luxury marks of the lexus OBSOLETE.

kingreign:


another lie. You're speaking based on your perceived hatred of Toyota/lexus. An LS is what gives an S class tooth ache. You dare not compare it with honda accord, not even Honda Legend.

kingreign:


hey Mr, I no be autosbay, na genuine lomomike.... doing automobile has always been NY passion.

chucky234:
So what has king got to do with being an enlightened KAZEEM *wink*

vani86:


Thank you. Why dafuq will i get a 2004 big daddy to a 2008 accord. I see no comparison at all. Whay you should compare with the accored is the toyota muscle

Look again, does this look like a big for nothing? Lexus ES300 is rebadged big for nothing, but Lexus LS is a different ball game. That is a car that will give a Mercedes Benz s class a run for its money, how dare u compare if with a honda accord?

Below is a 2004 Lexus LS430. Show me how a 2008 accord looks better.

melvo001:
Hi guys, quick advice, im having to decide between a naija used 2008 Honda accord or a 2003 tokunboh lexus es300, thanks in advance

vani86:


You are showing me a pimped out upgraded lexus. Get a market version and compare both.

The LS is even ugly exterior wise when compared to the 08 accord.

The accord is downright sexy and can make you cum

abatically:


Pimped out Lexus u say? Lol. That is a stock Lexus Ls430. It is a full sized car and the exterior is on par with any 2004 full sized luxury car. Yes the accord is sexier on the outside being a more recent model, but the Lexus is far better in comfort, gadgets, safety and quality of finish.

nurey:


You have made a point but let's note somethings
1. The op was asking about a 2003 ES300 against an Accord 2008 Abeg whether nah luxury or not, the Accord beats the lexus but not necessarily hands down.

2. The LS is a High end luxury vehicle, but what luxury is optional in the LS yesterday is factory fitted today in the Accord.

3. the LS is a fullsized luxury vehicle, it has enough space to accommodate everything and more which is limited in the Accord but I will not compare a 2007 till date LS to Accord that will be murder. But realise we comparing outdated luxury of 5years to advanced technology. No matter how luxurious the Nokia 808 pureview is with its 41mp it's already served it's purpose then and will be outmatched by today's tech. lol

4. there are some luxurious gadgets that should be overlooked and not take into consideration when purchasing a vehicle. eg what's the use of the big space the LS, S-class have when I won't be chauffeured in it, what's the use of leather seats when it's not comfortable, what's the use of sat nav when it won't work in my region etc.

Before you crucify me, I was comparing a 2003 lexus IS, ES, GS, LS to a 2008 honda Accord A.K.A EVIL SPIRIT

kingreign:

Bros, forget it. till date, the LS 2004 had the most comfortable seats in any car whether its LWB or SWB they've got great seats,

they've got some of the best security systems in any car which even an Avalon 2013 don't have.

It should be well noted that technologies found in a Luxury cars takes years 4-10 years to trickle down to main stream mid class cars.

The woods and hides found in this LS are genuine blemish free luxury wood and finest hides, even Honda Legend doesn't come close not to talk of Accord, the LS have ASL auto level with intelligent swivel lamps, does any accord have such except the 2013-date (which I am not sure of).

The suspensions are either soft tuned springs or AIRS your accord doesn't come any close.

they've got cool boxes and even other sweet stuffs which just gain entry into Toyota Avalon 2013.

Price of these cars will still be more higher than an Accord

Bros if you no get any thing to say, let's keep it that way

Guess now you know the bro doesn't know Lexus.

abatically:


Wait a minute? So u are one of those that think leather seat is not comfortable? Lol. I guess u have never sat on a genuine leather seat.

And yes op was comparing a 2004 Lexus ES300 and I said myself that a 2004 ES300 is a rebadged big for nothing. U are the one that brought a Lexus LS into this and really it's a sacrilage to compare even a 2004 Lexus LS with a 2008 honda accord.

nurey:


I have not said leather ain't comfortable besides my dad's second generation toyota crown leather seats survived world war II I gave an example kwanu. You have not yet showed me anything classy in the LS that has won my heart, besides pictures can be extremely deceiving. I have seen tons of LS both 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation abandoned in mecho workshop so I have been in them and nothing wow about them now.

abatically:


I will give u a few features found on a 2004 Lexus LS 430 that even a 2015 honda accord can't boast of not to talk of 2008 honda accord.

1. Air suspension
2. Coolbox on the ultra luxury package
3. AFS adaptive curve headlights. Mind u HID headlights are standard.
4. Dynamic radar cruise control
5. Knee airbags
6.genuine bird eyes maple woods
7. Genuine leather interior (lot better than the one found in a 2015 honda accord v6).
8. Electronic key that allowed the vehicle to detect the key fob in the owner's pocket and unlock the doors by touch
9. Mark Levinson sound system.
10. RWD vs accrods FWD

I can go on but I'll stop right there.


The 2008 honda accord is sexy to look on the outside and has a nice cabin, but in reality there is nothing special about it. The v6 is very potent and responsive, but talking about gadgets, its no match for a 2004 Lexus LS430.

kingreign:


in addition to your list,
11. Cool/hot seats
12. High speed performance brakes
13. Semi-Aniline Leather
14. Oscillating A/C system with air purifier and deodoriser
15. 14 way powered drivers seat, 10 way powered front seat with massage seats
16. Park Sensors
17. Rain sensing wipers with rain repellant windscreen and side windows
18. Pre Collision Systems which could warn the driver if an obstacle is ahead and also stop the car.
19. Lexus Telematics ( Online information system; Telematics 12, Hands-free cellular phone, E-mail, Voice activating system which includes phone)
20. one button Auto headlamp self washing system.


list is endless.

nurey:


kingreign and abatical both of you tried in driving your point home but you forgot two things

1. The op is not in the market for an LS
2. The op is looking for a car to drive and not a car he would be driven in.

Guys watch out for part 2 coming soon, go grab your copy now

usorohita:
please I have an Honda Accord 2003 model with V6, 3.0L; SOHC; 24V; MPFI engine with automatic transmission and it does not enter reverse gear. please what is the way forward and what should i do to tackle this problem. thanks.

kingreign:

na you start the 'derepsation' of Lexus, a whole lexus that made Mercedes Benz engineers to return back their S class, over bloat another budget, and also caused their CEO in those days his job.

Toyota/Lexus get "Rep" before. And don't ask me which car am Using
