4runner =GX just underneath the skin
It doesn’t have 3rd row, both are truck and have body on frame chassis so don’t expect any sportiness in them. They ride like a boat and a tank. No body talks about those trucks and talk about fuel economy or cheap maintenance. Let’s face it, they’re not cheap to own or maintain but neither would break your bank to maintain. I’d actually go for a GX cos it’s more refined and more powerful and larger.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by lexini: 6:03pm On Mar 06, 2022
Thanks.

What’s gear ratio though?

olumzzz:

If fuel and maintenance cost isn't an issue, then go for the gx.
More luxury, power, torque and better gear ratio.

Good evening guys

2014/15 4Runner vs 2014 /15 highlander vs 2012 gx460

I know the highlander is a durable car and all cos I’ve owned the first gen highlander and my wife currently uses a second gen. Considering the 4Runner and gx cos it won’t make sense having 2 highlanders

How does the 4Runner and the gx handle? Does the 4runner have 3 row seats?

Which drives the smoothest? Which retains value most? Which has more power?

Fuel and maintenance costs aren’t much of a consideration for me…

Thanks in advance

The gx460 drives smoothest, retains it's value and has the most power of the three.

So go for the gx460.

Hello Car Gurus,

I'm thinking of getting either a Toyota Avalon, Camry XLE (muscle), Lexus 300/330/350.

All either 2007/2008 models,
My budget is 2m-2.35m.

But I'll be using it for part-time Ehailing while using it as a personal ride... Which do you advise?

Please include Maintenance, fuel consumption, stability, reliability, durability, availability and spare parts etc.

Please I don't want any "Corolla" , Yaris, Kia suggestions and the like, I only want something within these 5.
Thank you all in advance.

Good day gurus in the house. I need advise on choosing an SUV. Budget is 3m to 3.5m
Key point: reliability, easy to maintain, RUGGEDNESS and high resale value.
Am having in mind lexus rx300 2003, Acura mdx 2006, Honda pilot 2006 but still open to any recommendation.

Hello house, i just want to seek a second opinion on these choice of cars. Which do you guys think is best?
2013 Crosstour
2009 Venza
2009 RX 350
I have a budget of 5.5 - 5.8m and while i don't fancy nigerian used cars, i know my budget cannot get me the venza or RX but i may likely get the Honda.
I am a sedan guy mostly and i still prefer sedan but my new area road is just manageable and not great hence these choices.
I like having plentythings to press in a car grin

I like the Crosstour. Comfortable, solid car. Cheaper than the Venza, too, so better value.

Cross tour is not bigger than accord interms of ground clearance because its actually accord wagon. People tend to shy away because of the VCM in the V6 engine. But the 4 cylinder is okay.

The venza I don't see a correlation between its features and price point, its tad too expensive for its available options even among competition but nah toyota make am sha.

The RX is a beauty to behold, has good features but also an expensive option to buy.

But for bad roads, the RX would do fine and better than the rest. The crosstour would do fine too as long as the under doesn't scrap the ground and not a flooded area. But interms OF SOLID PARTS, my brother I know honda trumps toyota, their shocks, steering, bushings and all suspension parts of honda always last bad road or not. In essence look at the honda CRV and see whether you like it.

The crosstour is like 0.4in higher theoretically but then i researched the crosstour handles like a sedan which is a plus for me. Is the 2013 V6 Accord engine prone to VCM issues too? I thought the earth dreams V6 doesn't have the VCM? Personally, i don't drive anything less than a V6 [maybe I'll try all these turboed 4 cylinders in the future sha] and i don't like a 4 cylinders lugging around an suv body. To me the venza is also overpriced and i don't really like what its offering for its outrageous price too. Just a reliable 2GR, big cargo space and panoramic roof. The RX is way too costly but i like it is why im even considering if i can see a well maintained used.

Fake news. The fact that it's an Accord wagon doesn't mean it has same ground clearance as the Accord sedan.

Please House, what is the fuel efficiency of '09 Honda Accord (4 plug 2.4 l)? and the comparison with the fuel efficiency of 2010 Corrolla Sport (1.8 liter )

What is the general maintainance like for the 09 Accord 2.4 ( stated above like?) compared with the corrolla.
