moshino:


Could you please explain why you'll be racing an SUV, which has a higher elevation than a race car and a regular sedan? What exactly do you achieve by this, and what do you presume are the inherent dangers in this, and btw, on which RACETRACK were you doing this racing?

lomomike:


why should I explain any reasons why I am racing? Na Your motor I use race? Abi u na ROAD SAFETY or VIO or. EKELEBE (NPF) abi na YELLOW FEVER you be? I don't need to be schooled about inherent dangers in doing what I do I am old enough to know dangers involved btw, I don't race in neighbourhoods but on highways, I am very very careful when I am behind the wheels and I check in my car for scheduled routine maintenance thus ensuring my car is always tuned up and in excellent conditions
If you care to know why I race also ask folks here: www.nairaland.com/999283/fastest-speed-ever-driven-car

Jarus: What model? I use 4runner 2005 and it's doing fine. Does Lagos-Kwara trip without hiccups.

moshino:

I thought I was relating to homo sapiens, but you just made it obvious I was not. I rest my case!

9icetoo: i have been opportuned to drive the two cars being discussed fairly regularly.
Economy: 4runner 1, fx35 0
Handling: 4 runner 0, fx35 1
comfort: 4 runner 1, fx 35 0
power: 4 runner 0, fx 35 1
Off road: 4 runner 1, fx 35 0
The steering feel of the fx 35 is a bit too stiif for longdistance driving. you are going to have sore shoulders at the end of such a long trip with the fx 35 though you will get to your destination a lot quicker. Having said that, you will equally need to stop over at a gas station to fill up and spend a lot more on fuel than a 4 runner. In all, it depends on what u want out of the journey though. If u want to tear down the road at exciting speeds, go four the fx 35; if u want to cruise in comfort and save a few pennies on fuel go for the 4 runner. just my 2 cents.

moshino:

They're equally good choice SUVs, but PLEASE, they're NOT RACECARS/FORMULAR1 cars! In terms of versatility, longevity and durability, given Nigerian road and driving conditions, Toyota 4Runner edges ahead. In terms of luxury/bells and whistles, FX has the edge. But again, they're NOT RACECARS.

SailorXY: A Toyota 4Runner all day!
Those talking about comfort, as long as the shocks on the Runner is sound, you'll notice no ills whatsoever. Infiniti only edges it on their seat construction... Its very very soft but that's about it for me. They are more or less just as fast, its not like you'll get the smooth stretch of tar to move up to 180km/hr anyway
Get th 4Runner, far more durable & economical... Thank meToyota later

KA24DETT: They are not in the same class. FX35 is luxury SUV.
If you guys are comparing cars, try to compare the same class. FX 35 VS BMW X3 . Toyota 4 runner is in the same class as Nissan Pathfinder.

FX 35 is in another league.. Whats up with nigerians and toyota. In every conversation, toyota wins. Herd mentality is shocking

oga I have travelled twice dis year .. Τђε Benin and asaba ends of the road are almost racetrack smooth... @ som points its a straight stretch of 3 or 4miles. one could get up †̥σ 180km/hr surely ... For those ∂@t can handle ∂@t speed sha

SailorXY:
I know the road, good improvement there but is it still that safe? With such width, you can't refer to it as a race track & we all know port holes have a funny way of appearing on a very smooth Naija road overnight! The same road you used a month ago may be just as smooth but you can notice one funny 'developed' port hole lurking somewhere on your return. Besides, I think speed is over exaggerated. Traveling in your FX averaging 180km/hr & another man doing 140km/hr on a 4Runner destined for the same stop, don't be surprised your arrival time differential may be just a mere 5-10 mins cuz of many dynamics like pit stops, refreshments, weaving through traffic within cities, etc

we know they αяє not in ∂ same category but if u were stuck with both for a 6hour trip which would u pick ?

eaglechild:
Thank you very very much.
It's so annoying.
Toyota this toyota that.
No doubt toyota is legendary for its reliability, but they are usually boring and unengaging to drive, though they are improving.

How can anyone be comparing two vehicles in completely different categories, if one must
One is a luxury SUV that requires more premium maintenance, it is sportier, more comfy and much more fun to drive.
The other is a regular SUV that is easier to maintain, has a slightly better off road capability, and a truck like drive.
If you enjoy driving the infiniti is for you,if you want to move from A to B unceremoniously get the 4runner.

Eyop: You didn't ev en mention what year of manufacture for both cars. As for me,forget about the infinity if your friend has the money to buy the 4runner,let him go for the 2010 Toyota 4runner limited edition and he will be glad he did. You cannot compare a Nissan to a Toyota in terms of durability. However SUV is not meant for race oh

SailorXY:
I can bet my asss you won't be that confident when you face an annoying rugged terrain sitting behind the wheels of your FX-35 you fit just come down trek cross am
