Good day everyone. Lexus ES 330 vs RX 300. Who can give a better comparison of these two vehicles? Thank you

Both are distinct, if you want luxury with a good ground clearance for bad roads the RX300 FWD, if you want an off-road capability then the AWD RX300 should foot the need.

if you have no bad roads the ES330 will ensure good fuel economy and balance of power. Both vehicles are almost identical in price but a base RX seems to have more standard luxury equipment than a base ES330.

Well the bolded sentence is debatable that's if the limited Avalon would even have all the options the highest trim Lexus has.
When the Avalon cross into the Lexus trim with options on it, I can assure you the price would be higher when compared with the Lexus of same class in terms of options.
That's not true boss. You get most options as standard on the limited edition avalon as standard. You can support your statement with evidence. The 2006 Lexus Es330 has only one trim, all what you see that are extra are options and lexus is known for pricey options.

You might be right anyway.

Go for the avalon..... Many of the standard gadgets on the Avalon came as optional on the Lexus and you might not be lucky to get a lexus that has all option installed. Besides, the avalon is cheaper and you get everything that's in the Lexus.

Thanks for this clarification!

It will get the job done T4 or T5 but ensure you buy the LWB with 4WD cause those are rated to 1.5ton in cargo capacity ensure also it's manual.

I don't think anything about it cause I have not seen it physically.

It's a SWB and fitted with diesel engine. Engine is common but diesel engine technician may be out of reach in some locations.

If it is manual, 4WD and it is within your budget, then you can make payment for it as long as it is in good working condition

Acura TL was succeeded by TLX, TL stopped in 2015 while TLX started in 2014 till date.

Target the TL from 09 model upwards the previous models had Honda notorious transmission build quality, which made them fragile and susceptible to failure.

The vehicle is related to the Accord of same year meaning mechanical parts of the Accord are interchangeable with the vehicle.

Happy new month sirs,

My client is trying to make a decision between a 2005 EOD v6 and a 2005 infiniti g35. They are both Naija used cars.

Please what are the common problems with these cars?

He generally loves the accord but the leg pull and transmission reliability is discouraging him.

He loves the built and uniqueness of the g35 but is the car reliable?

Kindly help with the pros and cons of the two cars.

Thanks sirs

The G35, although smaller, is a mighty vehicle. It packs a huge punch. Its got a reliable engine and transmission. Its either RWD or AWD, its more driver focused, and its performance biased vehicle. Its leather upholstery isn't the best out there. It got Bluetooth hands free for this year.


The Honda Accord V6, avoid it.

Reliability Both vehicles are known to be reliable and without much issues.

Tech depends on what trim you are buying EX-L or touring accord are very well loaded to the teeth, the ES330 has a trim well loaded too, base to base the Lexus has more standard luxury features.

Prestige this one is tricky nothing prestigious about both, they are everywhere.

more respect, pros and cons are well documented, no vehicle without issues, just buy a good one and take good care of it.

The Accord engine is costlier than the ES, the Accord 4 cylinder engine has better fuel efficiency, the V6 Accord is faster. I did pick an Accord due to the year, as the ES is just like a glorified big daddy Camry.

Go price the engines.

As for prestige, a lexus is a premium brand, commands more respect. Even in NCS duty, it is higher than a Honda accord of same year. Brand new, a Honda accord is cheaper than a Lexus of same year, even tokumbo. Fit and finish in the Lexus is better than the Honda. Build quality same, NVH levels is lower in Lexus too.

You are really funny indeed. The comparison is between a Lexus ES330 and 2008 Honda Accord. I already have idea of Engine prices and the Honda Engines are expensive than a 3MZ.
