Cerato isn't bad and it is same as the hyundai elantra.

Rio and civic are below the cerator in the food chain

So cerato is a better buy over civic...wow

Honda city is Honda civic of other continent its Honda fit and jazz that is in the Toyota yaris region.

The cerato is also in their class but a bit bigger in size and sometimes engine.

Better buy depends on the condition of both cars. But be weary of the bought brand new unit of Kia they are mostly of low quality in safety finish.

I will pick the 2005 Camry. Because it is more rugged than the civic. More cabin space. The Camry’s engine bay has more space for mechanic to work and the Camry has more ground clearance than the civic.
Thanks

I tend not to recommend naija used cars, unless you have an excellent techie for a pre-purchase inspection.

Good day everyone, please which car would you recommend between RX350 3013 and GLK350 2013 for everyday use and which is better in luxury, power, handling reliability and fuel consumption.

And out of curiosity I’d like to know if the front of the rx350 2013 can be upgraded to look like that of a 2017.

I've seen people do this but its a waste of money IMO. Anyone with half an eye will know your car is not a 2017 on first glance.

RX350 beats the GLK in luxury, reliability, fuel economy. The GLK beats the RX in power and handling.

Do not upgrade any RX, leave it as is. It's beautiful as is.

Hi Gurus,

Please, I'll like to have your analytic comparison of Toyota Avalon XL and Lexus ES/IS 250 series, both 2006-2010 models base on;
LUXURY
PERFORMANCE
FUEL CONSUMPTION
DURABILITY
PASSENGER SPACE
DESIGN
AND SPEED
- If there has been any common or reoccurring users complaints with any model of the two, I'll like to know too.

Also, I have this love feeling for PONTIAC cars. I know it has been discontinued, with the last model being 2009/2010. The Grand prix, G3 and even Beneville seems to catch my fancy. I'll appreciate your expert opinion on this car brand, cons and pros as it relates to it being used in Nigeria.

I anticipate your submissions,
Thank you.

Hi Gurus,

What do you think of a 2008 - 2010 Honda CRV?
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by moyoz(m): 6:28am On Apr 09, 2020

The camry and corolla are both very solid vehicles.

Efficiency both will get the job done but the camry has a bigger cabin, more leg room and comfortable sitting also more boot space.

Luxury the camry beats the corolla as the LE and xle come with leather optional sat navigation and JBL premium audio the corolla was never fitted with leather but the 06-07 has an upscale audio system.
The camry also comes with 16inch alloy rim options the corolla is 15 inch steel rim from factory on all models

Economy the corolla has a 1.6 and 1.8L engine while the camry has a 2.5L I4, V6 and hybrid. The camry hybrid comes close to the fuel economy of the corolla but to be on a safer side for 1st timer better to over look the hybrid. The corolla wins in economy but the camry 4 cylinder isn't bad if you want to balance power with economy. As full load the corolla is slow in acceleration.

Maintenance both are OK but camry parts are expensive than corolla. The corolla also has simple engine and parts even the sport version. I have 2 corolla in the family 04 and 07 the 07 has auto lock on moving the gear lever to Dallas, factory installed keyless entry, fog light.

Security both are robber magnet though the 06-07 corolla and most camry come with standard factory alarm systems, they can't be stolen whole when parked on like earlier models, but snatching at gun point has been major user experienced.

Verdict I would push to buy 06-07 corolla staying away from the sport due to bad roads and those with open roof as our weather conditions causes damage to the seals allowing leaks into the cabin.

If you like the camry, leave the SE and XLE with side skirts cause of our roads, push for a LE with all the bells and whistle (luxury edition with factory leather seats) but note most of the people using camry with non chalant attitude end up changing transmission.

Please bro, I need your advice to decide on my next car. I'm considering Lexus GS 350 08/ ES 350 08. I'll like to know more about the gas mileage of the 2 cars thanks.

You can't be admiring a 2 big V6 luxury sedans and be talking about gas mileage. Choose your poison and enjoy the aftermath bro.
