If ur dad has cash, he should go for BMW. It's in a class of its own and the parts last a long time just like Mercedes Benz, Volvo and Range Rover. It will never leave u stranded on the road, even if it's faulty.

ZDX and Cross Tour are both nice SUVs but the last of my mention is cheapest to maintain.

Once he buys the BMW, he might never change brand again...trust me.

Lastly he should stick to a good standard mechanic and he will enjoy that ride for years to come..

Spaxon:
Hello. I dunno if I can get help. I don't really know the specs of these cars. But I believe we got people with great experience here. My Dad's retired and wants to get one of these and we are actually inexperienced with cars outside Toyota.

have you considered Toyota rav 4
.very cool car

Thugaa:
Have you considered a lexus? Luxury and durability guaranteed

The SUVs or the sedans?

The crosstour is more economical. BMW & Accura are very expensive to maintain with very few auto repairers that are reliable. Go for the Crosstour.

Any car that you can't drive from Lagos to sokoto and back without so much wear, is not a strong car.

All these over expensive cars are not strong.

These cars are luxury cars, I’m surprised no one is talking abt the BMW. That’s a super car and the rest on your list don’t measure!

So if it’s value for money you want and the prestige that comes with it, go for the BMW.

ZDX is an Acura brand, the luxury arm of Honda. Just as Lexus is to Toyota. Definitely a wayyy better ride than the crosstour, but of course you can’t compare to a German machine!

Crosstour is a failed attempt by Honda to mimic the successful Toyota brand called Venza. A mid-range high performance vehicle that appears to look like an accord made out with a Pilot lol. Trust me the interior is same as that of accord 012 above. If you’ve driven such car before you’ll definitely hate this Crosstour. In short I doubt that it’s still in production. Accord parts fit it well that’s why pple will say it’s parts are cheap.

Summary: if you popcy hold side well o, get the BMW
If your popcy still hold him rep go for ZDX.
Ditch the crosstour idea.

As for those saying Honda dey pull leg, I have used honda from 86 model, halla, bulldog, baby boy, all the versions of accord from 03 to 14. Currently on 14. I have never for once had such experience. It’s just bad drivers with poor maintenance culture that experience such.

Spaxon:

Thanks for the info. Do u have an experience with the ZDX

That's how I heard from a driver the absorbers cost #750k per one (I don't know if it's with importation dues) back then in 2015.

I agree, However, considering his Dad is old and looking for a Jeep, If he is not buying a brand new BMW, I will ask him to stick with the other 2.
BMWs can be annoying for people who are not finicky about the state of their cars.

But I prefer the build of that BMW X3 over this X5 oh.

coolcharm:
Go for Honda Cross Tour. Cheaper parts than ZDX and BMW.

Infact, runaway from that ZDX. Parts are as expensive as kilode.

That ZDX is a very expensive car too maintain. My boss spent close to N3m to repair and change the dashboard and bumper after I minor accident.

Spaxon, Do not go for Acura ZDX or BMW. Their parts are hard to source and are very expensive like Mercedes Benz parts.

Honda parts are all over Lagos and very affordable

Anyways, We got this clean 2012 Honda Crosstour available at 4.8M

True. Brand New is better or direct toks with low mileage not from Nigerian dealers.

Toyota and Lexus fit in here.

Stay away from anything Honda

How can u put BMW with those inferior cars, for me I choose BMW, durability, speed, Balance, the only problem is that it's parts are expensive... But I choose BMW any day, anytime... Twice on a Sunday.

It's a disrespect putting the German machine beside the Japanese,..... Besides, the German machine is more matured for a retiree than the other two

Spaxon:


No sire.
Lexus wasn't on the old man's list

Lexus has to be it. No regrets.

nams77:
Well if what you are saying is true, then tell your pops man to cancel his list.
.those cars are not for men going into retirement...they are for young folks who can give the necessary attention
Tell him to get the following


lexus Es330, or lexus Es 350.
Plush, luxurious,powerful and reliable.

For SuV he should go for the highlander and forerunners.

I am a Benz man myself

@OP, the above is the most sensible comment I've read. For a man going into retirement, non of the cars on his list fits.

The BMW X6 is the ultimate machine.. The Odogwu of cars..

caprini1:
Still go for a Toyota ,the three cars are useless,they will fail you without any sign.

stop this! Toyotas don't breakdown or what? no doubt, toyota makes good cars but that doesn't mean other manufacturers are thrash. FYI honda engines are more resilient than toyota engines so also their suspension. besides, the BMW X5 stands far and above most Toyotas.

Forget about cheap. Retirement deserves comfort. Let your dad retire with the BMW. It is also the most durable if you have a qualified mechanic and service promptly. The others are for college students.

The BMW looks more luxurious than the zdx and crosstour...
If he has money for constant maintenance then the BMW

If not jejely settle for the crosstour

humilitypays:
lol, if your dad hasn't been appointed by the looting Nigerian government to join the association of old looters gang, you better tell him to go for Toyota 4Runner or highlander so that he will not die of high bp

common sense...is not common

[color=#000099][/color]
I would advice you go for the BMW x5, preferably diesel. It doesn't break down only if not maintenance issues or you crash it. As a matter of fact that vehicle communicates to the driver in some type way if you understand. Damn that leather the back lights at night. I say no more

Spaxon:


I heard And I've seen Honda card break down on roads with tires out.
Think they've got pivot issues or something

That was old model Hondas

U are referring to ball joint issues. It doesnt happen with recent Hondas

Remove crosstour from that list.

Your dad should be senior citizen age.

BMW

OR ZDX.

He will. Enjoy those 2.

jametex:
All i will tell you is don't go for any Honda product, their Stearing wheels are unreliable and can twist your car axel on motion, especially those their SUV..

Jesus... do u drive at all?

This comment is so wrong. I have owned and driven at least 3 Hondas. I still own one now

Go for dat Acura ZDX It's reliable

Dpharisee:

That problem of pivot pulling out was sorted out from Civic 2006 upwards

No civic from the beginning pulls. Maybe you are mistaken it for accord.

pretyval:
As a car dealer, I'd advice you get your Dad a Highlander.... But if you want to choose from these options you stated, please go with the BMW.... Contact me on 08137588770 let's talk more.

This one wan sell market. OP, make up ur mind before contacting a dealer. Dealers will convince u to buy qhat they have, and not what is good for u
