Thanks for your clarifications. Was a bit concerned that it comes across as a cheap SUV. Does it matter if it is Front Wheel Drive or AWD?

It does, front wheel drive has better fuel economy than 4WD

4 wheel drive suspension are heavier and also costlier to replace.

Honda Accord 2003 to 2007

03 to 05 is EOD

06 and 07 is DC
difference is exterior upgrade and engine tweaking. It's advice able to buy 05 to 07 as 03 and 04 gear were very unreliable.

I don't need to lie or cover up for a maker, I tell the truth as it is. Honda and Acura had severe gear reliability in some model line up. The 03 and 04 is well known for its sensitive gear, any palm oil use and replacement is next.

Help me compare these two cars
2006 Lexus ES 330 & 2008 Toyota Camry Le in terms of...
1.) Price
2.) Interior
3.)Speed
4.)Cost of Maintenance
5.Durability

I know most Le’s come with fabric interiors, I’m not a fan of fabric interior and 4cylinder cars.. But I think there are some with factory leather and v6.
And I intend buying Tokunbo to be precise.

Thanks in advance

price is extremely close I have seen the topmost trim of the ES330 go for 2.1m but I guess the 08 Camry V6 LE with leather should hover around 2.1 to 2.5m depending on source.

Interior the ES330 is top here, base to base better audio system, wood finish, Formica better interior materials and more Airbags. The high-end ES330 comes with DVD and navigation screen.

speed the Camry V6 tops 3.5L 268hp vs 3.3L 225hp, the Camry will leave the Lexus gasping for air also the Camry V6 has a better fuel economy than the ES though negligible and close.

Cost of maintenance the ES wins here since it shares part with 03 to 06 Camry. engine cheaper and more solid compared to the 2AZ 4cylinder, it is also preferred to the 2GR V6 aluminium block.

Durability both are durable, Camry is robber and vandals magnet. both will serve you if used as intended.

As always, Nurey is spot on. That said, I wouldn't buy a 2007-2009 Camry i4. Buy a V6. If you must buy the i4, get the 10/11.

ES330 is more luxurious across the board.

The Tacoma is expensive to acquire than the Ford due to the Toyota mentality in naija.

Both vehicles are durable, there chassis was built specifically for rugged terrain

Parts and mechanic know how Boku. The Ford engines are built to last a lifetime whether high mileage or not they don't give up easily

Cost of maintenance depends on what engine the vehicle came with. I did say the Ford would be cheaper because the suspension of the Ford platform is knot tight. I have a Navigator so I should know.

second hand value Toyota actually has this due to mentality.

If fuel economy is your choice and you don't intend to carry much cargo or tow much load the Tacoma is ok the 2.7L i4 is not underpowered and the 1GR V6 is a good Engine but replacement is 1m plus so watch of for its maintenance if you bought a V6. The good thing is it shares platform and parts with 4runner,Lexus GX, Prado, Fj cruiser so you won't be lacking parts for a while.

The Ford is a big badass truck known for its reliability and ability as the most popular truck in the world interns of sale and model followership. The 4.2L V6, 4.6L V8 and 5.4L V8 (my favorite) are very solid engines, they don't die easily and are capable of propelling the vehicle and cargo out of any rough terrain. The F150 shares platform and parts with Ford expedition, Lincoln navigator. The parts are available too but can be expensive though it won't be fake or chinco and the parts don't give way easily especially the suspension parts. You should only worry about compressor, alternator etc.

I as a person would prefer the Ford product, I have tested it and trust it to deliver but the Tacoma would be appropriate for city driving and it's less bulky for maneuvering and parking.

Ford F series truck same year as Tacoma is more expensive than Tacoma

Ford F150, 250,350 raptors haves had issues with damaged and broken chassis. Check auction sites.

Tacoma is very very much at home with off-road and dirt tracks, it's also not as hard to drive as the ford due to its size and weight.

All your complaint are noted. But if you check the ratio of vehicle sold to complaint made, you will see a wide positive margin for the F-series.

concerning the chassis and other mechanical issues, it is owner inflicted. A car has its limit and when you try to change law of physics what you get is damaged vehicle and parts.

Also the form platform the 11th generation sits on was same as the 1st generation navigator and expedition alot of things were carried over. Remember this platform also shares part with the Ford E series. The parts are interchangeable
