These is actually a tough one. You may think the Acura is supposed to compete with the Lexus, but the standard equipment in the 9th gen Accord is mad, I have been opportuned to view the EX-L accord and I can say it holds a lot to be desired by luxurious vehicle.

side mirror camera, inscreen navigation, leather seats, adaptive cruise and a host of others.

Your choice should depend on whether you want a 4cylinder for fuel economy which the Lexus won't offer and depending on trim of each available to you

Accord EX-L and touring vs Lexus Ultra luxury package.

Wow guess the Honda accord EX-L is highly equipped and I found out they almost same price. Thanks

just pick the IS250, over all the TL is better, faster, more sport oriented and worth it if you look past it's fragile transmission. The type S is got good enough launch power.

The IS250 is chic, chic to some is the new word for cramped, cheap Engine and transmission, not bad on the sports end.

No you should be safe, the suspension type was revamped and besides yours is still relatively new, if you don't drive it uncannily across Naija toureg roads you should be fine.

2011 has more revised things than the 07 and 08. it's adviceable to buy later models of a vehicle.

good day house, pls i am about getting a nigerian used 2004 nissan pathfinder for a relative. However, i have two major obstacles at the moment: One, i have many people telling me i should not buy a nigerian used vehicle because no matter how well it is inspected, there are problems dat are hidden and cannot be noticed by simple inspection and/or test-drive by a mechanic. Secondly, i am based in warri and the vehicle and seller are at ijeshatedo, surulere - would like to get a good nissan mechanic around dat surulere to look at it very well. Pls i need opinions from the gurus and experienced people in the house. Thanks in anticipation.

A used car is a used car and it may develop some fault which is the standard maintenance interval fault.

If you go along with the right technician he would ensure you buy a good car not a lemon, just have it at the back of your mind that a used car would need minor touches to put it in buyers taste while a lemon would need major overall of several parts to put it in shape.

What a good car, pay for inspection

want a lemon go inspect yourself

Please how much is the engine and transmission of IS250 2007? Compared with ES350, would it be a better buy if the cost of these parts is a critical deciding factor?

IS250 is 4GR 100k in the market I don't know about the transmission

ES350 is 2GR around 280 to 3xxk for Engine and transmission is in the 400k range.

Toyota Corrolla is more economical in the line up, solid engine reliable a good city vehicle.

Rav4 vs CRV
The rav4 is a better all round vehicle than the crv in this comparism. you should pick the rav4 over the crv here.

Though the crv is cheaper than the rav4 price wise it isn't bad but it is susceptible to the leg pull syndrome but a solid looking vehicle.

pick the corolla if you don't need much cargo space.

pick the rav 4 if you need ground clearance and cargo space.

pick the crv if you can be concious of the leg sound and for cheapest among the fleet
Great!

Hyundai Elantra

reasons

1. More recent in your list

2. if it was bought brand-new then you are in luck as it would have the least mileage of the cars, you are certain it isn't accidented, flooded, rusted or salvage vehicle. It would also have less wear and tear in internal parts you will just focus on leg work and not always faulty. The car would have been treated with great care in 1st 4years if you are more lucky it is personally owned not company owned then the owner too would continue the Care after warranty elapses.

3. The engine is the most affordable of the lineup, while the 2az of the Camry is the most expensive, though if you buy the V6 Camry with 1mz that Engine too is cheap probably cheaper than the alpha and gamma Engine of the Hyundai.

4. Elantra is not a robber magnet, custom magnet or police magnet, it blends well in the background.

5. In terms of original OEM parts the Hyundai is fair compared to Toyota.

Passat B5 isn't bad, good on gas with that engine, reliable, tokunbo parts are always the real deal and strong too as the wagon is used as a luggage hauler

The Camry isn't bad if you can have a good security in place cause it can be stolen as a whole and you may need to touch leg works regularly especially if you transverse bad roads
