But the camry is certainly more expensive than the 08 ES. Though out of the box the ES possibly has more luxurious feel.

Camry has 4 cylinder the ES doesn't so expect better mpg from the 4 cylinder camry. In terms of cost of parts the ES has lower price for parts since it is shared with the XV40 07-12 camry.
Thanks sir

Guys pls compare between 2013 Camry & Lexus ES 350 08. cc kingreignn nurey heavenlybang & others

That 2013 pile of cheap plastic crappy Camry. The navigation screen real estate is more smaller and still poor resolution. Toyota needs to be flogged for that rubbish they concocted and named Camry. I'd choose a 2003-2005 over that mixture of tin can and plastic contraption.

Tufiakwa!


Better get a lexus, but make it a 2009-2011 model.

You don siddon inside one before and siddon inside 2007-2011 model before? You need to see the obvious cost cutting measures adopted by Toyota in making that thing.

Okay, going for glk then. Thank you

Check Edmunds for review of both. Not all X6 are bad, year of manufacture matters too same for the GLK. You need to do your research cos most advice you get from here isn't from people that own the cars. For example, not all X5 are bad but people should avoid 2012 X5 cos of some known issues.

I only have reservations about having either as a first car.

The ES 350 please. Toyota no try for that 2013 Camry at all.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by awele186: 11:17pm On Mar 26, 2020
Felt since the 2013 camry is newer, it would have more tech and features than the 2010 es350

Thanks. Considering 2009 glk. Why do you have reservations about having as a first car?

Is it an octane booster? What's pricing like?

I would pick the Pilot here and if I want it in luxury I would buy the touring edition.

The Mazda CX-7 I won't advise because I have seen 2 units with Toyota engine then something about that engine makes other cars fitted with it unreliable talking about Mazda 6 and Mazda 5 MPV or so

The Mazda Cx-9 is a Ford Edge so most parts for the Ford would work but be weary of the water pump of the engine it can fail prematurely.

I didn't recommend a booster. I recommended a fuel treatment. Boosters work but are detrimental long term. You can use them too. Can't quite pricing right now we are closed and markets are unstable.

I've bought two sh-awd cars in a row so no.

Pls all this people discouraging people from buying camry 2007 - 2009 blc of the oil shortage on 2Az fe,bear it in mind you're not actually so right.
Its something one can manage and hardly notice with regular weekly check up on oil level mostly if you drive on a very far distance,doesnt burn oil as una deh hype am here, a very reliable machine.
My second car and talking from xperience.

Cheers!
Boss please advise me on this issue because I’m really afraid. I wanted to buy the 2007 but I was discouraged and told to get the 2010. Now I had to pause so I can work on my budget to get up to the 2010 range please advise me.

Baba go for your budget(2007) infact na almost the same thing with 010 (apart from engine,rear lights and headlamps,)unless u wana upgrade yours , that oil issue people complain here abt is very negligible, you may not need to top up till your next oil change. Fuel economy is very ok.

this man

toyota has acknowledged the oil burn issue for that 2AZ engine, if it were "very negligible", all those owners would not have complained so much that Toyota would investigate and admit to the issue

let's not give wrong information based on anecdotes, of course as with many car issues, some owners would have it worse than others, perhaps your oil burn is less than many others, but don't mislead others into thinking that they would also have the same mild experience

Until you realize that Toyota uses the same engine on the Camry, Avalon, Venza, all with the same power output and it doesn't require premium on those cars.

Most forums advice against buying 07-09 due to oil burn, gear issue and recommend 010 upwards. That you own one and managing it shouldn't form the basis of encouraging him to do same.
