As much as i enjoy my es330 which has been a performer with a touch of luxury, i am tempted to try the Honda brand.
I hope it's going to be a good choise.
I need your opinion on this one Kingreign, Gazzuzz, Norey, other nairalanders.

Candid advise?

stick with the 2.4 liter engine.
The 2.0 or V6 will make you unhappy short term.

Missus, what the feck u talking about?

Hello OP, good choice you made there, just a few things to consider before you buy, avoid the v6 if you're not a performance person, high mileage vehicles as I'm sure you'd be getting have certain defects that makes the vcm fail after a while, the 2.4l ivtech also has a similar issue but it's much more manageable and easier yo replace when it fails, also avoid Nigerian used models with the moon roof (Ex,Ex L,Lx s) otherwise you might have to deal with water leaks and that roofline is pretty expensive to replace. Overall it's a good buy as long as its not a lemon or abused one,go along with a competent mechanic before you pay. Welcome to the Honda family

V6 is very delicate and has expensive spares.

Thanks for your time.

Get the v6. If you get the 2.4 it will feel severely underpowered compared to your lexus

Thanks for your take.
The es330 is a performer, no doubt, but a fuel guzzler. The ground clearance would've been ok, but the exhaust pipe hangs so low like an afterthought design.
I am on a budget on fuel right now and toyota is not on my list that's why i am considering the evil spirit.

the evil spirit is very ok,if you need it to perform better,get the v6 since you are already used to lexus.if you dont really care about speed or much hp ,just get the i4,its still ok.you said you are on a budget on fuel,just get the i4 then.personally I prefer the evil spirit to es330.

Driven the es330 2006 model once it's a very good performer powerful V6 engine. But the evil spirit is also good to wonderful sound from the V6 especially when throttled hard. Go for it should be great vehicle if well taken care of;

3.3L V6 with 218hp is no performer.

It's no performer. You can't compare it with an infiniti G or an acura TL/RL of same year.

wow boss you are right I just found out now sef that even a 2006 accord v6 has a higher hp than the es330.

I know it can't be compared with the mentioned cars of the same year.. but it's still capable enough. The Es350s should be on par with the Acura but not an Infiniti cause it will get smoked by them.

The 2006 Honda accord V6 is a sleeper sedan it's no joke tho.. watched a video on YouTube of how the accord smoked a Chrysler 300 2010 model.. couldn't even catch up

An acura TL 2004 model with a 3.2 (250hp) will destroy the ES absolutely. The I kid you not. Guess what? The TL offers even similar levels of refinement and luxury as the ES. The ELS audio system of the TL absolutely blows the Mark Levinson of the ES out of this world. The TL looks sharper and more modern and sleeker, the ES looks like a grand pa boat!

For an FWD, the TL handles very well, the ES is very bland to drive, not engaging at all.

Lol.. ok agreed the acura TL beats the es350 in hp, refinement and sharper looks..

Oga where you dey since?
I am not comparing the es330 with any other highend performance car. Coming from an older C200 i4 engine, the ES is a performer in my little experience.
I wanted to bring it to your place for a noisy brake fix, but you were out of town.
