For your 1st car I’ll recommend the Camry over the Lexus Is 250 for reliability and cost of ownership.
The Camry is one of the most reliable if not the most reliable car in the world. Go for the 2009 - 2010 model and thank me later.
If you want a Lexus the ES 350 will be a better bet because it’s more reliable than the Is. Unfortunately, you’ll need to up your budget cos it’s in the range of 3.8 - 4.5m.

you too much baba!! thanks a bunch, i appreciate the recommendation. Camry 2010 it is then.

Es350, Glk350,Toyota corolla, c300 2008-2013 to an extent, are the predominantly owned cars by these fraudsters...
I still stand by my words, the RX hasn't been casted yet in terms of use by fraudsters

The RX is now the official SUV of the G-boyz. Ask the nearest Police guy ...

hello brothers.

I'm getting my first car next month, my budget is 2.7m - 3.3m max. Currently very undecided yet, I'm looking for something portable/mid-size... the ones I am considering are:

Lexus Is 250/350
MB c300 2010 (neat Nigerian used)
Clean Camry muscle 2010

I am open to options outside this.

Considering it is my first car, I want something that wouldn't stress me so much in terms of maintenance.
Since you dont want a car that will really stress you OUT,go for that Toyota Camry.

But for more Elagance and Stylish ride,your best bet is the Lexus ES,remove that IS please.

Absolutely!

If it was the other way round,these big men would have been using HONDA PILOT the more.

Hey bro!

Even though, we all have different ways we handle our cars, and how best we do regular servicing.

I always recommend strict compliance to owners manual or engaging the inputs of your trusted and reliable auto technicians.

Check Gravatar post where his own opinion about the recommended transmission fluid is shared.

I hope this helps.

Hey bro!

The recommended transmission fluid for the 2009 corolla is Dexron viATF as the manufacturer claims.

The ATF fluid should be serviced and flushed at every 60,000 miles.

I hope this helps.

Bros, sometimes googling and just posting the first answer you come across can lead to propagating potentially incorrect information and get people who come here seeking advice in trouble.

There is something called OWNERS MANUAL.

If not because of the rate of poverty and disregard for guidelines, its adviced to always follow strict manufacturers manuals.

Do you know that there are some exotic cars that you strictly must follow what the manufacturers specify or things go wrong.

Thats why i outlined the manufacturers specifications in my post, if you think you can offer the OP your own apt opinions, you should please contribute.

Its a public forum, we all have different opinions and suggestions.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Gravatar: 7:28pm On Aug 04, 2021
ATF Type WS is the recommended ATF for the 2009 US spec Corolla.

Is it comparable to Dexron VI? Perhaps. But it's best to stick to the manufacturer recommendations.

I differ on this boss.

I have driven a 2011 Honda Pilot couple of times, and i have also have the opportunity to handle the wheels of a 2010 prado, i enjoyed the ride quality of the Toyota Prado more.

Honda Pilot is no doubt good, but its not meant for bad roads and rugged terrain idealy, which prado will perfectly swag with.

If Honda Pilot was the better SUV, it would have been widely used by our ogas at the top na.

Bros, there are different enquiries posted on this thread, which require different types of responses.

This is a subjective question. It calls for opinions, which would invariably differ depending on various points of view. You picked the Prado, Heavenlybang chose the Pilot.

This, on the other hand, requires an objective, legitimate fact based response. These are the more important questions, wrong answers can lead to wrong decisions and problems for the car owner.


My point: Try not to offer an opinion when a fact is required or necessary.

The manufacturer recommended ATF, and the correct ATF, is ATF WS.

From you comment in bold, you didn’t make any point based on fact (mechanically or statistically speaking). You just “said something”.
Thus, I can tell you that you haven’t even held the steering of either.

Ride quality has nothing to do with this.

No shiit, a body on frame vehicle is better for bad terrain than a unibody one. The reverse is also the case when it comes to ride and drive feel.

Even if I'm woken up from an alcohol induced deep sleep: If I'm given the option to pick between HONDA PILOT and TOYOTA PRADO.

I wont hesitate before picking the prado, it's the better of the two SUVs.

Lol.... Honda Pilot is one of the most underrated SUV in Nigeria. Daily driving one has changed my view about Hondas and cars generally. Haven't driven a Prado. So I Can't compare. But Pilot is good

I also love Honda.

But i prefer their sedans more than the SUVs siblings.

Maybe, because I'm more of a sedan type of guy though.

In my personal opinion, Prado is the better SUV between the two.

Please what’s your opinion about a 2010 E350 and also a 2010 C300?

Thanks

Both are great German machines, very durable and reliable when maintained diligently.

Maintenance is on the high side though, but you that narrowed your options to these two should be capable.

MERCEDES BENZ E350: Midsize Executive car.

MERCEDES BENZ C300: Compact luxury car.

MY CHOICE : If i was in your shoes, i will go with the Mercedes benz c class.
