Thanks for the response bro. But hope the price difference in the parts of both SUVs is not very significant. Could you pls give some price example of some parts in both SUV so that I weigh the difference.
As for the fuel economy, that's not an issue for me.

- Reliability: both are very reliable.

- Availability of Parts: parts are readily available for both but the GX parts are more expensive.

- Cheaper to maintain: hands down highlander

- Ruggedness: both are rugged but the GX can tolerate more abuse.

Toyota corollas are basic economy cars, not much problem with the car, it is a good starter car.

From 03 to 08 are basically same experience, as for me I will rather buy a cheaper 05, than spend higher for an 08 due to the higher custom price.

You are in good hands with anyone of the model.


All the best bro

If you buy any of both choices, i doubt you'll be visiting any Mechanic workshop soon, unless you got a defective unit.

My obvious choice though : 08 XC90

Except you're staying at some not too popular states

My Bosses in the house good afternoon. I trust una enjoy una public holiday.

The main tori be say; Am upgrading from a Peugeot 307 (ew10) to either a Mercedes Benz C240 2006 or a Toyota Camry 2008 model. Please I need your guidance so that I can make a better choice.

What does "kompressor" mean on Benz?

that C240 i believe is the M112 2.6L V6 vs the Camry 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6.

The kompressor in Benz means the engine was turbo charged.

fuel economy i4 Camry the V6 of both models have almost identical fuel economy but I have a feeling the Benz has an edge but the HP that m112 is packing is nothing to write home about.

The V6 in the Camry is the best engine among the 3, it would last as long as it doesn't overheat. The m112 is the cheapest of the engine.

Camry and armed robbers, car vandals, SARS they are like 1 and 2.

Also 05 to 07 no C240 you should focus on C280 with the M272 engine

C240 ended in 05. So, there's C240 for that year.
The C240 was replaced by the C280 in 2006 while the C320 was replaced by the C350 in 2006.
Subsequently, the C300 replaced the C280 in 2008 in the W204 while the C350 continued in the W204.

Kompressor means supercharger.


Early C230 and C280 had balance shaft issues, ensure it has been fixed. I think it shows on a scan.

They are either manual or cvt transmission most are also bought brand new here. It's a car made for emerging economies. I'd suggest you do a Civic over that city except you just love it.

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by mandalorian: 10:49am On Aug 08, 2020
hey guys, I've decided not to join the corolla geng grin . As I stated earlier on this thread that I've got my eyes on Civic 2.0 as it ticks most of the boxes for me. I plan to pick one 2008 Civic 2.0 I saw on Jiji at the end of the month, that is if the car is not sold by then and the car passes comprehensive vin check and mechanic check.

However, I tried running a preliminary vin check but I was told the vin is invalid. Guys please help me with the preliminary vin check. my boss nurey, kingreign and all the bosses in the house please help me not to make the wrong decision.

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by BarrSly: 5:25pm On Aug 08, 2020
If you Want to save fuel buy Camry (i4 not v6) if you want to be respected when you pull up in the hood buy Lexus. I was faced with this same option but for an Is250 and I went for it!

Camry problem’s uhhh oil burning for sure (07-09 & probably 10) sticky dashboard.

Lexus problem uhhhhh can’t really think now ohhh sticky dashboard and peeling steering control buttons... but hey, it’s a Lexus get a dashboard cover and zoom off!!
