Car Talk / Re: Acura Rdx Tech Package by Jabia(m): 12:25am On Mar 29
speedfreak:


Hello, i got a ZDX in january and i'll just drop these here since @elaxandre hasn't replied you.

1. I spend 75k plus every week from Gbagada to VI and back, i drive agressively tho so my MPG is quite poor.
2. Acura is a sub luxury brand so fuel consumption isn't it's strong suit, its worse with our 87pump gas.
3.Maintenance is a pretty expensive, parts are way more expensive and harder to source than Lexus or Infiniti.

But by God you'd enjoy the car,i smile everytime i drive the car, Handling, Acceleration, Looks, A+. Just be prepared to spend a little more than the average car owner.

Fully concur with all the comments here. I'd also say it's about the same for the RDX, except you'd properly spend a bit less. That said the RDX is FUN to drive, I'd dare say it's not so far from your ZDX in how beautifully it handles grin
Education / Re: Which City Has The Highest Number Of Universities In Nigeria? by Jabia(m): 3:08pm On Nov 21, 2023
IVORY2009:
The city with the highest number of universities in Nigeria is **Abeokuta** in Ogun State. Abeokuta has 8 universities, accounting for almost half (47%) of the total number of universities in the state. Here's a list of the universities in Abeokuta:

1. Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB)
2. Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU)
3. Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (MAUSTECH)
4. Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED)
5. Crescent University (CU)
6. Babcock University (BU)
7. Mountain Top University (MTU)
8. McPherson University (MU)

Abeokuta's concentration of universities can be attributed to several factors, including its strategic location, historical significance, and conducive environment for academic pursuits. The city is well-connected to major transportation hubs, making it accessible to students from across the country. Additionally, Abeokuta's rich cultural heritage and relatively peaceful atmosphere contribute to its appeal as a university town.

The presence of numerous universities has had a significant impact on Abeokuta's economy and social fabric. The influx of students and faculty has boosted local businesses and fostered a vibrant intellectual community. The city has also benefited from the contributions of these institutions in terms of research, innovation, and community engagement.

Overall, Abeokuta's position as the city with the highest number of universities in Nigeria reflects its commitment to education and its role as a hub for academic excellence in the country.

Babcock University is in Abeokuta? Fear God na...

Babcock is in Ilishan Remo, a good 80km away from Abeokuta. Abi Sagamu follow dey inside Babcock?

Car Talk / Re: Acura Rdx Tech Package by Jabia(m): 8:07am On Aug 22, 2023
This advice is false, please disregard it.

I drive an 2007 RDX with Tech Package. The Tech package adds a better sound system with more information on your dash and navigation screens.

Basic electrical components are still the same. I've had my car for 3 years now and I've not had any electrical issues. Main thing to keep an eye out for is poor mileage due to the bad (low octane rating petrol) we have in Nigeria.

I suspect this gent got a defective ride and believes it a problem with the Tech Package by default

The RDX is fun to drive!

zanga3:



Avoid the tech package please.
Just go for the normal package.
I’ve used both, I couldn’t use the tech package past 3 months because of its frequent electrical problems.
I’ve been using the non-tech since the past three years without any problem.
RDX is a very good car only if you can avoid the tech package for that generation.

radautoworks:


My personal preference is the Acura MDX though you should consider the RDX AWD with tech package (it's my daily car). But because of parts, Lexus might be better for you. I wouldn't downgrade to the other cars being suggested.

Thanks ma'am. I looked through some of your topics and you struck a cord:

How much do the following cost for an RX350, MDX and RAV 4?:

*Tire Rotor/brake pads
*Tires
*Shocks
*Fuel pump
*Starter coil

I've tried using your car parts size and to get rough estimates, no dice (perhaps because I'm not really good at this )

Tanchu!

EDIT:

How does the RDX compare against the MDX? Any for/against(s).

Big hugs to Baby Radu!
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Jabia(m): 2:27pm On Sep 23, 2018
nurey:


I would pick the Rx because it is the most reliable

I would pick the Edge next least luxurious but practical than the next contender

The MDX nah baba of them all, it would even be a status vehicle more due to its limited presence on the roads compare to the other 2. But premium fuel baba dey drink and the parts cost are just like the infiniti FX series danfo bash am the guy go run for him life.

grin grin grin
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Jabia(m): 2:13pm On Sep 23, 2018
HeavenlyBang:


No idea about it.


Ah, status.
Acuras get shite gas mileage, since they need premium fuel. RX will be more economical.
Both are about par in terms of luxury, tbh. In fact, the MDX is probably better.

The Edge really isn't competition here. It's a notch below the other two.

Anyways, Lexus reliability is unmatched. Get that. It's also a bigger status icon than Acura.

Thanks! I hope I didn't come off as an ego thumping dingbat. That I am not.

I'm not home most of the time, so the ride would be the misus' kettle of fish. Having fully understood the Edge is a notch below, what do you make of it (the edge)?
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Jabia(m): 1:56pm On Sep 23, 2018
nurey:


With that road and the traffic you should look for something lighter and not too luxurious so you can save on fuel due to traffic and cheap parts because the road is terrible

Honda CRV
Toyota Rav4
mitsubishi outlander/ASX
hyundai ix35
kia sportage

all this are good alternatives with recent models with cheap and durable parts. Also available in 4cylinder engines

Interesting... I actually live around Iyana Ipaja, I used the Badagry road as a worst case scenario, I never use that road. My typical route is Ikeja - VI - Festac.

Also, it's a bit of a status thing. Can you please do the RX350/Edge/MDX comparison?

Thanks fot your prompt response
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Jabia(m): 1:21pm On Sep 23, 2018
Hello Gents (and lady!).

I intend to purchase my first vehicle in a couple of months. I'd like something a bit stylish, but fairly affordable. The 'future' misus would prefer we get the most recent model we can afford. Our main concerns are fuel consumption, reliability, readily available parts/technicians, and some resistace to fairly bad roads (Think Mile 2 - Badagry express).


I'm currently considering the Ford Edge, Acura MDX and Lexus RX350 (2010 - 2013 models). Budget is 3 - 4 million NAIRA. Doable?

Thanks for your time.
