Heartbroken!

Please house help choose a better executive amongst the following with budget of ₦4.5m

Accord 2011/2012
Camry 2010-2012
BMW 325 2008-2010


And maybe any option better than he list above... But it must be rugged



Accord EX or EX-L with the 2.4L 4cylinder engine then the 2010 or 2011 camry with the 2.5L 4cylinder engine SE,LE or XLE is okay.

BMW is dicey I would say avoid it if you can

I have this for sale in Ibadan for 2.9M. It best matches your description

Don't just like all these Toyota carton, reason I am not really looking at Camry.... Have used several of them, especially the 2013 Camry, the moment you get to 120km the car becomes very light

The one you can afford. Apart from the plasticky interior and shape of the 12-13 camry that's the only disadvantage I see to 2010-11 Camry

As much as I dislike the XV50 camry, this your comment is untrue except the exact unit you drove has some underlying issues.

And for your sanity, avoid that Optima or sonata 2011-19 especially with GDI or Turbo engines, you also should be careful of VW passat with turbo engines & timing belts.

Fuel economy is identical for the various engine type I4, V6 and hybrid.

Maintenance 07-11 should be cheaper in maintenance than 12-17

Hello car gurus,

Please I heard the engine in Camry 2010 is Venza engine, how true is this?

Also, is it true that people generally prefer 07-09 rather than 2010 because of the engine?

2010 to 2011 uses 2.5L 2ar engine. It looks like venza engine but venza is 2.7L 1ar.

Anybody in his right senses would pick 2010 upwards camry i4 with 2.5L than 07 to 09 i4 with 2.4L i4

Hope you realize that when you resurface your cylinder, you're shaving off some part of it?
If the issue started after your engine overheated, you should ask your mechanic or a competent hand to go over the job to know why you're having that problem.
I'd also suggest you run a compression test on your engine amongst other diagnosis approach your mechanic would take on.

Remote diagnosis would be practically impossible at this point.
If in Lagos, kindly call 07089030689 for physical diagnosis.
