Aquariann:

I sent the mail to your Gmail and copied your ymail

Nettuno:
Please house, is a 2007/2008 Honda Pilot EXL, a reliable ride especially in terms of everyday use, fuel economy, maintenance and durability.

nurey:


Email replied

nurey:


Yes it is. everyday use, he go answer you

maintenance he no dey breakdown, he kakaraka like olumo rock

durability he go swim inside water komot shake body, he go pass rough road with ogbonge alacrity

fuel economy, SUVs are synonymous to fuel economy you can't eat your cake and have it. if fuel economy is top priority Honda CRV, HRV or element is your target

Nettuno:


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?

nurey:


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

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

nurey:


Yes the Honda Accord 03-05 has more sensors than a 1990 C350

Loujay:
Could someone please compare in details Toyota Avalon 2006 Limited vs. Lexus ES330 2006.

I'd take the Avalon, tbh.

Greats,

Kindly advice between Honda EOD 2005 and DC 2005 in terms of fuel economy, durability,resale value etc.

Thank you

nurey:


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.

jceesquare:

No let the Volvo guy see this ooO.

nurey:


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.

Please
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

nurey:


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.

HeavenlyBang:


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.

Help me compare these two cars
2008 Toyota Tacoma and 2008 Ford F-150 Truck in terms of...
1.) Price
2.) Durability
3.) Availability of parts and Mechanic
4.)Cost of Maintenance
5.) Second hand value

Thanks

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

kingreign:

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.

[/color]
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.
[color=#006600]They plenty for auction house and I see alot are mechanical issues


everywhere, everybody knows Toyota is very reliable and durable. Even in US.

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.
na old motor you dey use compare. Try newer fords.
[color=#550000]
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
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.
