Your choice. But remember that you already have enough knowledge of the brand. Mechs and part dealers.

bmarketing:


Yeah, I understand but then again the car gave me too many issues. Transmission issues common with honda up to 2005 I think. I did not know about this about the time given it's my first car with no prior experience. Also, the 2008 evil spirit seems to have its own issues as well, I checked on carcomplaints and it was advised to avoid like plague as issues like excessive oil and brake issues. I just want to do it right this time and get a reliable car with optimum luxury and all.

Conductor261:


The other side is NOT always as rosy as it seems.

bmarketing:


Of course. Maintenance is key regardless. I just want to avoid cars with generally known manufacturer defects Transmission issues on old accord series is quite frustrating if you have used one. I remember my gear suddenly jerking while on speed on the express traveling. it was not pleasant at all.

Conductor261:

Ok. I have only used a civic. It was a harrowing experience. I have been consistent with Mercedes. But I believe you are going to enjoy the Lexus better. Although the last edition of the big daddy is not bad also

Conductor261:


[s]Why not Honda evil spirit or anaconda? Which beats both of them combined together in interiors luxury and looks![/s]

bmarketing:


Interesting... Thanks for the advice

BarrSly:
Hi guys, I intend getting the 2007/2008 Is 250 is there any issues I should be looking out for? Can I get Decent Fuel mileage (it’s a v6 so I am not expecting good but decent fuel save) .

Is there a better year that’s advisable to get between the 2006-2008?

Thank you

Trash

Conductor261:


[s]Say something... Be bold and claim Toyota Camry beats the Accord anaconda or evil spirit.

Anyway I won't call diportivo or thebigkendo for you[/s].

Ignore the man. He knows next to nothing about Japanese and is only trolling.

kingreign:

Trash.

I don't do japmobiles. Doesn't mean I can't advise a fellow nairalander who's about to downgrade to the Toyota .

This is a jap thread, last time I checked! But here you are, being you!

Please house, I'm looking to get a Lexus es 03 or camry 06. Which one do you think its best overall in terms of luxury, fuel, handling. Coming from an Honda baby boy. Thanks bosses

Having owned a Lexus RX330 for 6.5years without a single issue, I'd gladly advice anyone to go for a Lexus ES but make it an ES330 and do not buy an abused unit. They're incredibly well built and would definitely serve you for a long time under normal maintenance. They aren't very expensive to maintain also.

DonnyE:

Pls why the Es330? Is the es300 bad or not fuel efficient like the Es330?

kingreign:

ES330 is more modern it's also a further improvement upon the already very good ES300. The ES330 is more powerful, faster, more economical, has 5speed gear over the ES300 4speed gear, the 2005/6 ES330 has heated and cooled/ventilated seats but the 02-04 ES has only heated seats. The Es330 is more premium.

DonnyE:

Thanks, but I want to be very clear on the fuel economy. This is because choices are highly influenced financially, you mean the 3MZ FE on the 04-05 on the es330 is more fuel efficient (uses lower amount of fuel) than the 1MZ FE on the 02-03 es300?

kingreign:

Yep.

But don't let fuel economy be the judge of you buying a car

Fingalin:


Luxury obviously goes to Lexus. The 03 Lexus has a V6 engine as standard and it's not very fuel efficient. Handling is probably same. They are very similar cars over all. But I will go for a clean 03 Lexus. Personal choice
