chillex8:My brother was happy when he initially got her but after that mechanical issue,kia or any other korean brand doesn't wow him again. Don't get me wrong chillex8,brand new vehicles are sweet but it depends on which of them compared to a Used vehicle. |

Eyop: Brand new kia rio is sweeter than lexus rx300 2003.. Its unacceptable to compare NEW to USED... They don't mean the same thing.. Kappish |

lomomike: The 2014 Kia Rio has 2 airbags?? That must be the upgraded SE spec. The Poverty spec model comes with 0 airbags. |

#team 2014 kia rio over 2003 lexus rx300 whose parts are worn off. I buy my 2014 kia rio, use for 4-5 years without complains... Kick and start... |

What's going on here? Did I hear of a comparison between a lexus and a kia? sacrilege!!!! a lexus is incomparable in all features any day..... But wait a minute did you say a used 11year old lexus that has been used and dumped? (Good luck getting a low mileage one) common guys have pity on the OP nah siena is a professional mechanic that can smell a car problem miles away and fix it via bluetooth, OP might be a white collar paper pusher that needs to be in the office on time, no drag racing or off-road stunts kind of guy. He needs it as simple as it can get. A used car is prone to unforeseen faults not covered by any form of warranty, if you guys were comparing a 4year old used car with low mileage I might have said go for the used one since ur saving a little cash, but OP help ur self, if you don't want to know the price of a set of R17 225 tyres (100k low quality 160k high quality) OP listen to the small still voice inside you that says buy the rio , free that that devils temptation that wants you to drive jeep and feel like a doroboss the jeep will come very soon and brand new insha allah.

How about the brand new Kia VR7 that lost 1st gear after a few days of ownership? And Kia are doing their best not to honour a warranty claim, telling the owner to "cover a 1,000 miles" before they would consider rectification? Poor brand, poor post-production quality control, poor warranty, abysmal customer service. |

lomomike: Chai!!!! Disaster so only 2 airbags for a 2014 ride? |
Re: Tokunbo Lexus Rx 300 Or Brand New Kia Rio 2014 by doroboss(m): 1:46pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
lomomike: How many airbags have you ever used? No lie o! If yes And when they poped were you happy or sad. I know what airbags are meant for, but I'm guessing OP lives in lagos, crawls to work at an average speed of 30-40km/h and back if his airbags ever did pop it would be caused by a fender bender and he would be a sad man that day.

chillex8: Most dealers in Nigeria use 20w50 on the cars. Even the most popular Toyota dealer does not use synthetic oil. I am sure DANA does not use synthetic. |

Even without airbags, so long the kia rio is brand new I'll buy it over an rx300 2003 with a million airbags. Has any V.I.O or F.R.S.C officer harassed you that your car is not fitted with air bags If one is going to die from an accident, not even the most powerful airbag will save him. Nairaland reported how a government official lost his life in his BMW x6 2012 or so, sometime ago Finally, o.p You have the various views/opinions from us.. The choice is yours only to make.. |

doroboss: Have you ever driven in a car only for it to develop a critical fault and suddenly fall off an overhead bridge into a deep drainage below? Have you lost a brake pad to pothole infested roads and slammed into the rear of another car at 90km/hr? If No, This is 2014, I can't drive a junk engineered car with minimalist approach to safety. I rest my case. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I'd choose the Lexus. Kia has improved to a degree, but they still have a long way to go. I don't feel safe in them. |
