Fallacy of jealousy

I can show proof. Jealousy of what if I may ask?

nurey:
Design

[s]Acura TL is called a sport car, good front finish crap rear finish was with uku at the rear

Lexus IS250 poor front finish very bad placement and design of lamp and bumper but the rear is a touch of explicit.[/s]

Performance

Acura TL of that generation 07-08 drives far better than the IS whether it is the base 3.2 or the sportier 3.5. Infact the Acura was improved on every year from 04 in terms of performance and premium.

The TL 3.2 does 0-60 in 6.9s

TL 3.5 does it in 5.4s (G35 got it's work cut out for it)

IS250 manages to do it in 7.4s

Interior and luxury

Both vehicles are pretty close and pack a tight punch but in design, extra and finish the base Lexus is whao but the 3.5 TL adds paddle shifter and a manual tranny the dream of every sport driver.

Maintenance and parts

Acura TL is a bit above since it shares parts with Honda Accord the only issue is the 3.2L Engine in the TL seems it's the only popular product from Honda that carries a 3.2L V6 but the 3.5 Engine of the TL is popular. The IS250 Engine is not more than 120k which is the cheapest of the lot. IS250 is a shortbase GS a highly premium and expensive Lexus.

Fuel economy, Toyota product always find a way to stay on top.

MY verdict would be to rather buy a TL with 3.5L or if it's the 3.2L get a manual tranny the TL with 3.2L was skeptical to be affected by the transmission issues but if you can be judicious with the maintenance and schedule change of fluid at the right time, you may have peace of mind.

Wrong assertion.

1. Acura TL is a compact luxury sedan. Lexus IS is a compact luxury sports sedan.

2. Every detail and design of every mainstream big time car is well thought out, subjected to scientific scrutiny, crash tests, NVH level tests and also aerodynamic tests both on computer simulator and in real world before they're premiered. So the front end of an IS is not poorly thought after. In fact it integrates well into the design theme and is more aerodynamic than you think, it's got around .28Cd on that front end making it very sleek with little air turbulence upfront and the rear end is also there to reduce turbulence.

What's the meaning of this?
Is this vehicle a tokumbo or registered?
If registered how long, if toks what's the mileage, point of entry and other details?

Na wa o!

Philadelphia:
Maintenance, lower fuel consumption, resale value, closer to rubber magnet, parts availability and lower price... These go to the Lexus IS....Speed and performance, handling, more consumption of fuel, high cost and less likey of parts available goes to the Acura.

[s]I think the Acura also wins in design and interior. I hate the front looks of the IS.
[/s]
I will pick the Acura over the TL.

I have owned and driven the accord and camry,, both of 2003 and I give the driver feel performance and comfort to the honda.

Maybe that is why I will pick the Acura over the Lexus.

You mixed up those struck out lines.

Kingsdave:
No got it from a dealer in USA, he shipped it to Nigeria

You're better off fixing it in an independent dealer or technician who knows his onions.

Coscharis that billed over a million for one useless 2013 Micra looking Ford vehicle....

It's under warranty, that fix is supposed to be free or minimalistic. By the way anyone buying a brand new Jaguar XF sedan should be able to shell out more than 2m instantaneously for repairs.

Kingsdave:
Okay... Its just a new car bought some months ago.. This is the first time I tried driving it out of the compound.... The gear has a Rotary gear knob

You said its a new car, was it bought from coscharis?
If yes, call them and notify them to take the car for repairs as its still under warranty. DO NOT give it to any other mechanic or technician or engineer to fix other than coscharis if it's under warranty.

I can say that it is a very effective auto diagnostic scanner. I know there are some lesser while there are
some higher in price of the Autel MaxiCOM MK808TS but let us have yours and your recommendation.

Gazzuzz, show us your own that your customers know you with and as well recommend any other one

Go and learn scooter or Piaggio first, if sport bike fall on your leg, which will most certainly happen, it can turn you to "Tan wor ile"

Maybe bajaj 150cc I go learn first then graduate to 500cc, then 1000cc

DonJiano:
I have Hyundai Accent 2008, my car goes off atimes while driving even in the middle of the road/highway. I’ll pull over and wait for it to cool (about 10mins) before starting again. Initially I thought it’s fuel pump… But I’ve replaced the pump 3x within 2months. Could it be plug coil problem?

CTS sensor Most likely cause.

radautoworks:
Stay away from the fusion. TSX good buy.

What of Lincoln MKZ 2013-date?

Second was i did 90kph on very damp road that all the water i splashed on my windshield blurred my view God saved me. I would have gone tha da grin way if not that the trailer back lights came on. I slammed brakes so hard and swerved to the left. God i had to stop and park meters ahead. To get my self. Since then no more top speed.speeding on water. Na na na
