Oga nurey and others. Please help me to compare 07 TL and Lexus is 250 of the same year thanks

Design

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.

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.

Stewart883:
Hi @nurey, you're tha bomb. Pls help me with this:

I just purchased a Chevrolet optra 2008 vehicle Nigeria used

Please is it a good car? What's the maintenance cost and fuel economy like?

It's more of a Daewoo in and out. You don't see those cars on road because we just got bored of them, I remembered the days of Daewoo tico the smallest kpangolo on wheels

You have bought the car just use it judiciously I don't know much about the vehicle.

Mayor555:
Boss are sure about the 2GR price? Thought it's more than that...

it has come down it used to be 350k before also depends on who you source from

lateefat101:
Not surprising

You can never answer the question because it is too big for you that always try to be on the side of your bad team.

You will Excel tremendously in comedy, chart a path to that line and leave Auto for the serious ones

lateefat101:
Legalwealth in 2019 came up with automotive platform and automotive forum out of your fellows trying to pull him down.

You are calling him a child but he fought you men that are not ashamed and disgraced you all.

Can a child achieve that?

Your question should be directed at IFA he would be in a better position to answer you

Peugeot 206cc or Nissan 350z for weekends and thrill of attention
Toyota Tacoma or Ford ranger daily driver and workhorse

BoStar:
HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!

I need advice from personal experience of anyone with Toyota Highlander 2004/2005 that had the gearbox replaced.

Which is better, the 13pins gearbox that came with it or the10pins they claim is easily repairable incase of future faults, unlike the 13pins that can't be repaired.

Please, I need this info asap as I'm about getting another gearbox for my highlander.

Thank you!

Conversion would end in tears. I guess your Highlander is the 6 cylinder variant?

diportivo:
that's why I specified eruwa to igboora only

ofcos

dem full there like werey sha

bunch of rogues

Why the Abuse? can't policemen do side hustle in peace

diportivo:
uncle


u took the old old road to eruwa from ibadan I guess

u went past omi till u almost got to odeda and then turned towards eruwa

that's where this single bridge is

theres a better road via ologuneru/eleyeile axis tho....recently resurfaced and smooth all the way....

maybe u took this route for pleasure sakes tho?

I also hope u had some amala+ilasa/morogbo while driving thru my town??



theres probably one sars and two regular police men roadblocks between eruwa and igboora

its after igboora inwards abeokuta that u will see them plenty.......and,their mission is to obtain pickups taking charcoal and cassava to lagos

I have transverse that road to Iseyin and then Okaka and the road blocks on that road is something else, even immigration dey the road sef

awele186:
Please which is more reliable between a lexus es350 2013 and Toyota avalon 2013. Maintenance included

Same Engine, same transmission and same platform But Avalon is bigger and wider by few inches.

So pick the one you fancy out of both

EgunMogaji2:
Not as many as they were when I went to Ore.

Ore case tie wrapper

EgunMogaji2:
[s][/s]I took a drive to Igbo Ora yesterday for lunch. Went through Lanlate and Eruwa. Men, that was a trip meant for a bike.

how many road blocks were on the road sir?

ChriisDiamond:
Yes...but what would inform my choice is the disparity between the two. For instance, shocks Avalon is so so and so while Corolla is .....
Suspension, engine, brake pads, etc.

Avalon Engine is around 280k, Corolla Engine is around 250k.

you can check eBay and AliExpress to compare spare part prices for the two. I am not a car technician so can't really say what the market price of each part for the cars are.

Hello Car (Honda) Gurus, I need your help.
I have a 2008 Honda Accord that keeps overheating(temperature guage rises past the middle) when the AC is on, especially during the heat of the day. Once the AC is turned off, guage returns to normal. Radiator has been flushed but problem persists. Any help here? Thanks!

if you have check engine light on, scan the vehicle if you get ECT sensor code then that is where your issues lie.

Also after flogging the car for the day and you park, switch on the AC and leave the bonnet open, when the temperature has started rising above the middle mark, go to the bonnet and study the fans, both should be rolling when AC is on, take a nylon and put infront of the radiator, it should be magnetized, if the nylon is blown away, then the fan is rolling in wrong direction.

A clogged radiator should have Engine overheating whether AC is on or not. You can also do the thermostat test, it could be faulty by having partial opening when Engine is hot.

boliswitpassprik:
wow, thank you
my dad had a Mitsubishi gallant 03, that car was rugged as hell but finally got damaged due to engine problems, you're very right about the engine sir.

so all in all, do you think it's a good buy?

if it's that guy you talking about, it's a good car to acquire but be weary fragile brainbox don't mess with the electricals.

It's a Dakar rally champion holder so off-road, he got you covered

ronkusesther:
Really?

Legalwealth come and see something Ooo

My brother man, my sister woman, whichever one you be, don't carry these nonsense enter 2020 you are on a mission of self destruction.

abscond from social media for a while and channel your energy into better and more resourceful things. Legalwealth you fight like a child, I am seriously lost for words on how you behave.

ronkusesther:
Don't let us forget the essense of this thread.
Hide your face if you don't have scanner or if you are ashamed to show the scanner you have.

Not the one you borrowed please! !!

You are about to overtake the Ekiti lecturer as the most controversial individual on CARTALK

SweetBuns:
I plugged in my ZTE mifi by 9mobile today and when I wanted to remove it, it was so hot that I had to drop it. Immediately I removed it, the charger I was using got burnt and the mifi has not powered up ever since.
I have been using it since 2016, is there a way to repair it?

Nobody can confirm that it's repairable or not until it is physically checked. If the battery is removable, change it and see if it works if not, an engineer would have to look into it and give you the answer you seek

LVStone:
Dears,

Please I need your advice.

I have an official car so I sold my own car in 2018 so as to complete my building project since I wasn't really using it.

I now live in the new area. Unfortunately my company just started a new policy guiding the Operational vehicle.

1. My driver alone can drive
2. It must be driven to work related places
3. They installed camera(picture/video+voice capture) so as to monitor it and some colleagues have been caught.


My house is far from main town and I really need a Car that is economical, efficient and a bit fancy.

Please advise on specs that in the range of 300K.

Thanks

It would only take you a week of vigorous determination and unrelented training to learn to ride a bike, carry the 300k and go buy direct tokunbo 300 to 400cc sport bike

if nah car you want, just go jiji and olist and only search for

Mazda 323

Kia Rio/ picanto 04 model year below.

Hyundai accent/Verna 04 below.

seat Toledo (cheaper and better golf 3)

skoda fabia ( cheaper and better golf 4)

Honda Civic Europe (cheaper and stronger Civic)

Rover 618 to 623i (stronger and better than Honda baby boy)

Rover 400 series (Another Civic)

please don't buy any other vehicle model from these manufacturer even if it's sold 1 naira by the way stick to manual transmission way better for you

FIXED IT

Luxury mixed with misery I stand with W12

presidential:
Please I will need your expertise advise on the 2010 acura MDX. How thirsty is it in terms of oil consumption? How cost effective is the maintenance? And what is the reliability in the long run.
Base on your experience is it popular and a good buy?

Buy it very good vehicle

It doesn't consume oil ie the Engine doesn't experience oil burn.

The 3.7L V6 isn't good on gas Sha compared to the Lexus RX but you will enjoy smiles per gallon when you throttle and it responds well giving that dash found in sport vehicles.

The SH-AWD is a well thought tech, not the best off-road but still solid. The tech pack trim is well packed but might try to avoid it if you don't intend fixing in reputable shops.

Stewart883:
Hello house, I just got a Chevrolet optra 2008. Everything is working fine except I have to fix the oil seal.

Fix the oil seal to avoid rapid oil shortage

Stewart883:
Is this a good car? Bought it from a friend who just relocated abroad.

Only time will tell
