You already know the lexus beats the mazda in reliability.
Hope you know there are new ULEZ zones in the UK now so you have to be sure the mazda meets euro 6 emission standard.

For me o:
Handling - similar (though the mazda might slightly edge the lexus in this category)
Driver-assist technology - Lexus (though the infotainment might be a bit tricky to navigate but better than mazda's bland interior)
Cabin quality - definitely lexus
Overall driving/ownership experience - Mazda because the lexus uses a CVT which just groans when throttle is floored unlike Mazda which uses a standard auto tranny.

Thanks..
Yea, the mazda 6 meets the Euro 6/ulez standard.
The mazda's (premium) interior isn't up to the lexus (luxury) standard but it isn't that bad either.

Bros that interior shouldn't be for a 2015 car.
It's too ordinary.
But it drives better than the lexus sha.

Crosstour with VCM is dicey except maybe you pick 2013 upwards.

The MDX is reliable but not good on gas

The v6 crosstour isn't too good on gas either.

Lexus Is250 or es330 which one will go for fuel economy, maintenance and durability?

Which one will you choose if you intend to keep the car for long let’s say 3 to 5 years.

Thanks

ES330 because family will be added within 3 to 5 years they will be able to sit comfortably at the back

Good evening house,

Please I need suggestions for a first time car owner who also wants to consider doing bolt at free time not full time.

Key points
Appearance:
maintenance
Full consumptions
And more

Please budget is 2-3M (Nigeria used)
go for a corolla. Yeah yeah, the bandwagon effect; but if it isn't broken don't fix it.
I don't even like Toyotas my self, but a corolla ticks all those boxes you've mentioned.
For the purpose of the purchase - a 2006 corolla fits the bill.

Both vehicles are good in their class. The 4 cylinder accord has a good mpeg, but the 4 cylinder rav4 isn't too bad either.

All engine variant are very solid too. I would tilt towards the rav4 in lagos because raining season comes with flood and bad roads, where sedans and smaller cars shy from entering, I drive my CUV through those roads and I come out strong at the otherside.

But also we get more flood on the island compared to mainland. Parts and technical know how available for both vehicles.

Maintenance cost the rav4 should come cheaper since it debuted in 2007 while the accord debuted in 2013.

Thanks so much for your reply. It’s well noted.

What’s your take on Camry models too within that range.
You already said bolt driving is involved. The camry is ok but has a bigger engine thus more fuel consumption relatively

You seem like an expert in Honda cars, please what is your honest view about CVT engine? I saw a Honda CRV vs Toyota rav4 review on YouTube, and the Oyinbo guys review the cars complained about CVT engine in Honda cars.

reliable? A Cvt transmission is never reliable, and with the callous maintenance culture of Nigerians with a tendency to put wrong oils in those transmissions..

So would you choose a Cvt over an automatic?

You meant fragile?

Yes I will pick CVT if the particular transmission model is okay. If that model only comes with CVT and it's my choice, I will buy it.

Good vehicle, reliable and fuel economical

I believe 5m plus is the tokunbo price. If not buy a naija used in solid state.
