Ford Edge 2008 3. Acura MDX 2006 Pls which would you advised me to buy in terms of fuel economy, low maintenance and reliability. Thanks. 1 Like |

Acura |

Acura MDX, most reliable |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by Harmored(m): 8:29am On Aug 03, 2020 |
I've used both acura and Ford edge, Ford edge doesn't like bad roads, go for acura it's more reliable... Both suv parts are also expensive |

why is everyone scared of Volvo? hahaha Volvo na solid car oh.. level of mechanic expertise for naija? i no know Why limit yourself to these? you for throw in 2007 RX350, or even highlander from that era. If you are indeed limited, then go for acura o.. |

Areaboy2: I really wanted that RX350 but my budget can't take it. My next choice is the Volvo XC 90 actually. Just wanted to know if it's good for our roads and fuel consumption as well. But it seem Acura is better, right? |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by Areaboy2(m): 12:38pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
otunbalong: yeah.. Acura seems to be the safer bet of all 3 you listed |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by adanny01(m): 2:30pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Areaboy2: One look at the list, you know for sure RX350 didn't make it because of the budget.q Toyota and its relations even when they are the best choice are always overpriced. Overpriced in the sense that if you consider all similar cars that should be in the list, RX deserves to be there and will be a top contender but since its not there that means it will be in a class of other higher cars that the RX will come at the bottom. It is neither there nor here so the price has put it at a disadvantage when you critically look at the list. You get best value in a Toyota when bought brand new but when buying a used car, Toyota will be overpriced and therefore overvalued. The best value in second hand cars is anything other than Toyota. 9 Likes |

Areaboy2: Even from responses here, I don't see where you drew your conclusions as regards everyone being scared of Volvo from. People will recommend what they've used and know more about, same way I'll likely stay away from the Acura due to the fact I have limited experience with them. You don't expect someone who's not used or had any encounters or experience on the XC90 to come here and start recommending it. It's simply a game of numbers here. Put in Toyota highlander or Honda pilot in that list and see the users flood this place with recommendations or... Let me send this page link to my Volvo fans and you'll see the XC90 vote skyrocket 6 Likes |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by valarinz: 11:59am On Aug 06, 2020 |
Areaboy2: And how exactly did you arrive at this conclusion, please share |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by Areaboy2(m): 12:33pm On Aug 06, 2020 |
valarinz: Volvo fanboy spotted Show me one post here that recommended the Volvo. Yet you want to ask me where i drew my conclusion from? When you learn to read and understand statements, come back make we talk. |

valarinz: LOL!! Dont let that cloud your judgement my good man. Read my first post again and you'll clearly see where i stand Lexus or nothing |

The mdx can stand the most abuse here but it’s a bit thirsty in stop and go traffic, the volvo only makes sense if you have a good technician that can handle it. 1 Like |

valarinz: When you say Volvo I remember my S80 when my mechanic was running from the boys in black ( to what he said) one trafficator ran away which when I wanted to replace it, they told me N20k for one that was around 2008/09 I think Then the only key got lost. Meen! I loved the car but eh...! |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by valarinz: 11:07pm On Aug 07, 2020 |
Dtruthspeaker: Which S80 model did they tell you 20k for one pointer light, 2018 model? From 07 above doesn't use separate pointer lights, they're attached to the Headlamp from then, so it's obvious your car was 06 below... 20k from mechanic? That's an obvious exaggeration, no kazeem go do baranda reach that level 1 Like |

mh53: What year model Volvo did you use pls |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by mh53(m): 3:19am On Aug 08, 2020 |
valarinz:An 05 Xc90 2.5T with AWD, we kept one as a daily driver in the southeast, the parts were hard to find and expensive when compared to the other run of the mill Japanese suvs. We only had one volvo specialist nearby and the guy used to misbehave because he knew our choices were limited. The SUV drove like a tank though, I noticed that it went through tyres Like crazy because of its massive weight. Fun fact; i could park it almost anywhere without any fear of theft/vandalism. |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by Dtruthspeaker: 1:03pm On Aug 08, 2020 |
valarinz: It is the separate one and was shockedr that the only place where we could get the trafficators was in Doyin. |

diportivo: I no wan talk about Acura too much, else it'll be like those rubbishing the Volvo without coming close to it too. The one wey weak me na the Ford Edge matter. It is well |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by timifakay(m): 9:55am On Aug 09, 2020 |
I've not seen a Ford Edge user with a positive review or ready to recommend to others... Acura is meant to be a luxury car, which means it wasn't built for offroading you intend using... Volvo has positive reviews so far. Your options are quite unpopular cars, so getting a car to have a large lead might be hard. 2 Likes |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by 80kobo(m): 10:25am On Aug 09, 2020 |
Remove Ford Edge. Everyone I know that has one hates it. I've no experience with the Acura but Id buy the Volvo if it was me. |
Re: Help A First Time Car User Decide Between These Suvs by mh53(m): 12:31pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
diportivo:I didn’t really badmouth the Volvo in my case; i have owned an 05 Mdx Which is identical to an 06 mdx. I won’t recommend the volvo to someone who isn’t meticulous with vehicle maintenance, I used an 05 2.5t with AWD extensively in a family house in the east and i simply listed the challenges we faced. The Mdx is the easiest to maintain here and it’s parts are readily available. The V8 is better suited to the driving dynamics of the xc90 - it is a heavy vehicle and it doesn’t fail to remind you of that in corners. I actually like volvos and i am familiar with them- been eyeing a 2009 S80 Awd with the 3.2L NA inline 6 for sometime now. I drove a 2001 european market S80 T6 With the controversial GM 4speed gearbox for 2wks some years back and i loved that car, the owner told me he has had it for 5yrs and ironically,it has been the most reliable car he has ever owned. I like being objective in my vehicle assessment, Nigeria is a peculiar market with different variables. |
