Except that he's wrong. The Infiniti FX is a reliable car.

reliability is subjective, if u ask me.

Hello Sir

CarFax is quite comprehensive, but why settle for just CarFax when you can have history details for your vehicle from CarFax and the other major sources as well as other North American history sources, for less than the cost of a single regular CarFax report?

Get in touch with CarGuideNG. Just click or tap on the image below.

Hahaha, you made me laff out loud. I read somewhere ford designed the engine. I really love the car and I just bought one, the grand touring 08 model. I will write a review about it when used for a month. The vehicle had loads of positive reviews in the US just like the MDX.

Is there anyone I can speak to over the phone ASAP? Thank you.
Re: Which Off Roader Please? by Originalsly: 10:54am On Dec 28, 2019
From the list....and your requirements.... I would advise Honda Pilot. The rest are pretty much city SUVs... stylish and loaded with comforts... soft ride and for the occasional weekend light off road. Not intended for everyday roughness and are more expensive to maintain and repair. The Xterra was designed for off road... so don't ever have the same expectations from any of these... even if you consider the Pathfinder. On Toyota.... if you by chance want to go there.... the FJ Cruiser is in the Xterra category.... designed for off road... and is better off road than the Xterra.

The FX35 isn't a bad car, uses a VQ35DE and parts related to other Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.

issues

1. body parts are very expensive and vandals know these so if you don't park much in an enclosed compound, they would burgle your car, especially the headlamps, the 2 coat 120k grin

2. Minor electrical issues especially if you use a battery rating less than 100amps

3. it drives like a car so expect to feel every uneven surface on the road. if you are also tall, the roofline go be some how.

4. The RWD variant dey choo tire like no man's business, if you come buy chinko knockoff he go dey shed am like crocodile tears.

Apart from that, the vehicle is fast, the exhaust note is catchy, the stance is intimidating and the luxury is superb what's more ladies won't let you rest grin they will want to rape you in an Infiniti till Infiniti grin
But it is terrible at off-road tasks.
I love the car though.

The pilot is your best bet, going by your list. Try and get the pilot with 4wd.


ElRazur:
Good morning people. Abeg, I need to hear your views, opinion and personal experiences with some of these cars listed below.


Ford Escape (2009 onwards but not the newer design though)

Acura MDX (2008)

Mazda CX9 (2008+)

Infinity FX 35 (2008)

Honda Pilot (2009)

I need something that could tackle Naija road but do so with some degree of comfort and good handling. Coming from an Xterra, I appreciate the overall off road capabilities of that car but I need something more refined.

Please people, this is not a thread about how one car is better than the other but what will probably fit into my need.

I have looked at the Acura MDX and Mazda CX9 a lot more just because they both appear to offer that good ground clearance, relatively newish design, good off road capabilities, good handling and shape of both have grown on me.

I also like the Ford Escape - I've had experience with the 2004/5 model, however, I have no clue as to how the more boxy 2009 version will handle Naija roads and level of comfort.


Anyway, enough story. Make I hear from you people. Thank you all in advance.

Thank you.

I have read all kind of wonderful stuff about Toyota Highlander and how they are almost unbreakable. I find the styling bland but the newer shape are better aesthetically.

Honda Pilot, I do like that one.


So based on the feed back here, my list is looking like this.

Honda Pilot and Nissan Pathfinder as the two main ones.

I really like the Infiniti FX35 but I am hoping someone with experience can shed more light in them.

Never mind the bland design of the highlander, it is a very capable offroad and if you go for the hybrid, you can get up to 40 mpg. And it packs a punch too, about 240hp. My dad has one since 2012 and all he spends money on apart from fuel is oil changes, servicing and occasional tire and brake pad replacement
