Abdomox:


The only thing that differs is the Navigation system.

Heard the navigation does not work in Nigeria. Hence, have to use my phone to navigate.

Do you know other features of the Navigation system pls?

Abdomox:


Thank you. The issue is I don't know other features of the navigation system. Would love to hear from current users of RX 350.

Greetings and Happy Sunday, Oga nurey,

What's your opinion about the Volvo XC 90 2007-2008 models in terms of:
- durability of engine, gear, AC
- fuel consumption
- availability and cost of parts
- ground clearance in case of flooded areas
Etc
I'm at a crossroads of going for a Honda civic 2007-2010 & the XC 90, though I know that both cars are not in the same class range.

I'll be using the car for majorly city commuting, business & project runs.

Thanks for helping a brother to make a decision. God bless you!

CityNGR:

Sorry I nearly commented. Let Nurey assist you. Since your question was specifically directed at him

You mean Chinese Geely owned and worshipped by valarinz and co?

HeavenlyBang:

Volvo should be better at everything bar parts availability and fuel consumption.

The volvo XC90 is a very reliable vehicle, among the volvo I like and cherish and it has a luxurious feel, hidden Nav screen, 3rd row in some and study and we'll built. Its not the kind of car danfos touches and parts start falling it is a solid vehicle.

The gas mpg am seeing through the engine lineup is fair 8L-11L/100km though a tad slow in 0-62mph 11 secs haba

don't buy the T6 fitted engine. Buy the T5, NA I6 or the V8. in terms of part, there are parts though some parts can be cumbersome to source, it doesn't have electric issues, 100ah rated battery please, good ground clearance.

I don't know whether it's fun to drive never driven it on highway though only city.

nurey:


There is a difference apart from the Nav-screen which you will only notice in usage/test driving both.

sometimes the navigation screen may include some functions like mpg calculation, compass, vehicle information, could also serve as entertainment control etc. Not only map embedded also it would show the reverse camera view and other views from side mirror cam if present.

exterior outlook maybe same but the one with nav especially if factory installed is a higher trim than one without Nav

if you have the vin of both, you can possibly get the trim from it and know what each is packing. I know the difference in ODO is what has you confused.

HeavenlyBang:


The navigation package apparently also comes with the Mark Levinson sound system. Very important!

Abdomox:


Body style: 4dr Spor
Trim: Base

That's what I saw for both vehicles when I checked the VIN.

Am I to asaume they have similar features except the Nav. System pls?

Abdomox:


Many thanks for this info. Pls help share the link so I can read more.

Also, when I checked the Trim, they have same trim. Should I assume these speakers might be in the one without Nav. System or it's inbuilt with the Nav. System entirely.

Please House can I get a full review of Toyota Matrix 2009 - 2010 edition.

Key points
*Durability
*Problems
*Cost review (if overpriced)
*2nd hand value

nurey:


NA is natural aspirated engine, no Turbo/super chargers no electric motors it's a plain old normal engine.

There was a plastic pump issue my neighbour faced when his temp gauge was always on the high side, took a week to source and also diagnose the issues.

With the parameters you listed the civic has an edge except ground clearance. I don't see why people compare 2 different entities One is a salon car one is an SUV, before buying a car there are some priorities you must list out that comes first which will decide what vehicle to pick.

The civic is a small fuel efficient reliable knock about vehicle able to deliver between 6-8L/100km.

The XC90 is more of an offroader type of vehicle big with cargo space and reliable 8-11L/100km. its your choice.

CityNGR:

I want to do a transmission history...can you?

HeavenlyBang:


This, basically. I'd go with the 2005 C320, it's hands down the best C Class of that generation. Interior facelift with the bulletproof M112.

banky3w:

How about the 2006 C280 4matic? Is this model still plagued by those ailments listed above? Thinking of getting one.
