I need assistance here please, I was making arrangement to get a Nigerian use Honda civic 2006, my choice for the civic was based on fuel economy, ease of ownership like maintance, but I had a rethink due to bad road in my area and usually flooded when it rains, now I am thinking of going for an SUV that will be good for my economic status, I started negotiating for Hyundai Tucson 2009, now the problem is that I don't know much about this Tucson, I need to know if I should go for this car, will it dry my pocket? Does the gear fail how about the engine capacity, fuel economy, parts availability and cost

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.

Sorry to disturb you again..some people here are advising us not to get the Acura TL09..that all Acura are not reliable, that we should go for Accord 09 instead..please what's your take on this

Hi Boss nurey, I have noticed you usually recommend 03 to 05 Honda Civic rather than 06 to 10 civic, are their any reasons for this?

If the Acura TL is a luxurious Accord and people dissuade you from buying I wonder why they would recommend Honda Accord.

Some Acura models had fragile transmission installed but definitely not the 09 to 15 TL.

The C250 is a turbo charged 4 cylinder for that year with 201hp while the ES is a 6 cylinder with 268hp.

The ES is a top of the line midsize luxurious vehicle while the C250 is also a top of the line compact luxurious vehicle as it is a Canadian spec.

Reliability the ES is above the C250

fuel efficiency the C250 triumps

Overall driving experience C250 is better because it is a sport oriented vehicle

luxury though the C class design was inspired by the S class, it still had some stripped down version of luxury offers, I did say the ES is a tad better in this aspect.

No too much noise you are better with a RX300 than a EOD because

The Lexus comes well equipped, luxurious, good ground clearance, a well balanced Engine and power. The EOD isn't bad if you are after fuel economy EOD 05 or DC06-07 is better than EOD03-04

Yay! I finally disagree with you. As a first car, the "EOD" is a better bet in maintenance and learning curve. Also fuel economy.

Honda Civic is a good car and also the fuel consumption is very minimal. However, due to your location, an SUV is needed. I really don't know much about the Hyundai Tucson but your budget determines the car you get.

How bout a Rav 4 or a 4 plugs Highlander?

Hello! To everyone giving tips and advises, we really do all appreciate. I have a small issue in selecting between a Camry 2008/2009 and selecting Lexus Es330. I need a car with less cost of maintenance, fuel efficiency, driving comfortability, parts availability and cost. I need the car for normal day to day activities and if needs be use car for Bolt business once a while. Your help is needed. Or if you’v Got another suggestion for another car I could get aside these two. Kindly Recommend. Thanks

@larryTall97

To my own little knowledge 08 Camry is 4l and 6l while Lexus 09 is 6l. But if your are going for luxury go for Lexus but for fuel efficiency go for Camry 4l.
