Akanstic:2004 ES330. Can't go wrong with that car, look for a fully loaded one with Mark Levinson stereo. You can also look for a Mazda 6. Do your research well first, though. An Acura TL is a good option, same with a 2005 Mercedes C240. 2006 Honda Accord is solid, too. computerboy:GS350>Acura TL>ES350. ES350 will probably be the most reliable. GS350 is the best for a driver. Great performance and handling, and also has the best luxury. TL has the best design, imo. I wouldn't get a TL without SH-AWD. I'd buy the GS. |

Please kindly help compare Camry muscle 2008 and peaugot 406, in terms of: Key points : Reliability (Based on everyday use) Performance (Driving experience/Driving Style) Practicality (Ease of maintenance and repairs) Fuel Economy/Mileage Vehicle Endurance (Ability to take some abuse) I want to get my first car and confused which to pick Thanks |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by computerboy: 9:18am On Nov 10, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: Lol... surprisingly it seems I'm the only one who doesn't like the Acura design...plus the buttons/controls on the interior are much. I counted over 40... I just like it cos it's rare on the road but when i saw the interior of the GS I fell in love. I just needed more opinion to be sure my judgement isn't clouded by the classy interior. I'd go for the GS... Thank you |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:22am On Nov 10, 2018 |
computerboy: The TL has a bold design. Most people online hate it, haha, but I love it. It's just do different. A TL has mad presence on the highway, presence that only the newer Mercedes have. If one passes with all lights blazing, you must look. But yeah, I'd go with the GS. Best of the lot. |

bujuscop: Literally not in the same class. Buy the Camry. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by weyreypey: 1:19pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
bujuscop:Buy the 406! |

Hello Akanstic, I have a car that I want to ship to Nigeria and hopefully, it would arrive December this year from Sweden. It's Peugeot 307 SW, with 7 sits (Bensin). 2002 model and the car is sound and good. As I write you the car is in Hamburg, Germany and I am waiting to receive the date the ship will depart Germany. Are you interested in that type of car? Write me for more information and photos of the car via lindagreisson@gmail.com |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Akanstic(m): 10:37pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
[Thanks alot for your swift response. I will Do a research on all the options you gave and make p my mind. Thanks once again uote author=nurey post=72750210] 1998-2005 lexus IS (200 for economy 300 for speed) 1999 to 2008 honda civic EX 2 different generations but great interior finish. Ensure it is EX trim 2003 to 2009 toyota corolla XLE or corolla Altis if your budget can afford it though slim. Has a bit luxurious finish than ordinary corolla. The Altis is Asian corolla may be converted ensure it was done well. 2010-2012 nissan sentra SL trim. This vehicle has a CVT ensure you use the right CVT fluid not ATF if your term luxury is leather seats and driving dynamics then a 4cylinder old cargo benz C W202 or benz E W210 should suffice. You can also do a 4cylinder BMW E46 199x to 2005[/quote] |

I don't really have experience in terms of car, and now I want to get another car. My current budget is 3.5 - 4.5 million. Which car can I go for? Your suggestions will be appreciated. |

Hello all, I want to get a Japanese car in my fleet and I am caught in between 2 options now; 2007 Toyota Camry SE i4 vs 2006 Lexus ES330 Please consider the following as you help me do the comparison; Speed Balance; say on a speed between 140kmph and 160 kmph. Maintenance Resale Value Power/ performance Petrol Consumption. Please kindly give a budget estimate for toks and Naija use (problem-free) for the two rides. Thanks for your honest opinions. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 8:48pm On Nov 26, 2018 |
Philadelphia: your query is flawed you are pitching a lazy bone 2.4L 4cylinder 177hp camry against a grenade launcher 3.3L 6 cylinder 218hp ES330 speed camry is a midsized sedan while the ES is a luxurious midsized sedan they weren't built for speed but off the record the ES is faster than camry. Balance The ES should top here due to its weight and engineering but if you are a regular interstate tourer in nigeria then you should be mindful of roads you will do 160kph on maintenance The camry should be cheaper on the pocket the only issue is the 2007 camry was plagued by transmission issues. Resale Trickish but I will give it to the camry expensive than the lexus or both almost on par. power/performance The lexus has more hp as for performance you will feel a difference in both when coming from a corolla. Don't expect anything extra ordinary not to end up throwing a ROD. Fuel economy The camry will give more miles per gallon compared to the the ES. Verdict The outward appearance of the ES makes it look like an over bloated camry big daddy though the interior and standard equipment are top notch. Its a luxurious vehicle that looks good and loaded on the inside but crappy on the outside The camry can be upgraded on the inside to feel like a luxurious vehicle which won't come cheap and least I forget it is a robber magnet 1 Like |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 9:47pm On Nov 26, 2018 |
nurey: Thank you so much for your detailed analysis. I appreciate your comments. I'm not a fan of corolla. I'm coming from the Mercedes angle. I am thinking of owning 2 vehicles for now; the 2006 c230 and 2006 es330. Thanks again. |

nurey:2006 V6 ES330 pitches a mere 218 HP? While my 2001 E320 pitches 221HP |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:13am On Dec 03, 2018 |
CityNGR: 2003-2005 ES 3.3L V6 225hp 0-60 6.8/6.9secs 2006 ES 3.3L V6 218hp 0-60 6.8/6.9secs E320 M112 V6 engine 221hp 0-60 6.9secs with all that weight and rust bucket tendency I doubt if you can out run MY96 Previa not to talk of a Japanese grenade launcher |

nurey:Hehehe I would have taken you up but heck why waste your life. You're obviously needed for a lot of things in life. Hehehe Previa... You are hilarious. You compare a Benz 3.2 engine to 5 years newer 3.3 engines of Lexus.. Yet Benz trumps all... Are those at Lexus mentally indolent? |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by 9icetoo(m): 9:03am On Dec 03, 2018 |
CityNGR:Bros, calm down na. 2007 Ml550 has just 2 extra horses over 2007 acura MDX (v6). Even with its v8 engine. Both have practically the same 0-60 times. And the Acura handles way better Sometimes, manufacturers don't really bother themselves about speed. Lexus es330 isn't a race car. Neither is your E320. Anyways, don't leave your axle behind while racing an es330. Nigerian potholes do a lot of wonders to cars with rust. Una too hype Benz. They are just another "German" car manufacturer. Nothing else. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by CityNGR: 9:05am On Dec 03, 2018 |
9icetoo:Unfortunately.... My E320 is absolutely rust free reason I chose it over the Lexus LS400. Meanwhile I am not interested in 0-60 or whatever permutations... And you are welcome to compare all rodent vehicles you can imagine against the Benz.. The automobile standard. 2 Likes 1 Share |
