Philadelphia:
Hello all, I want to get a Japanese car in my fleet and I am caught in between 2 options now; 2007 Toyota Camry SE i4 vs 2006 Lexus ES330
Please consider the following as you help me do the comparison;
Speed
Balance; say on a speed between 140kmph and 160 kmph.
Maintenance
Resale Value
Power/ performance
Petrol Consumption.

Please kindly give a budget estimate for toks and Naija use (problem-free) for the two rides.
Thanks for your honest opinions.

your query is flawed you are pitching a lazy bone 2.4L 4cylinder 177hp camry against a grenade launcher 3.3L 6 cylinder 218hp ES330

speed
camry is a midsized sedan while the ES is a luxurious midsized sedan they weren't built for speed but off the record the ES is faster than camry.

Balance
The ES should top here due to its weight and engineering but if you are a regular interstate tourer in nigeria then you should be mindful of roads you will do 160kph on

maintenance
The camry should be cheaper on the pocket the only issue is the 2007 camry was plagued by transmission issues.

Resale
Trickish but I will give it to the camry expensive than the lexus or both almost on par.

power/performance
The lexus has more hp as for performance you will feel a difference in both when coming from a corolla. Don't expect anything extra ordinary not to end up throwing a ROD.

Fuel economy
The camry will give more miles per gallon compared to the the ES.

Verdict
The outward appearance of the ES makes it look like an over bloated camry big daddy though the interior and standard equipment are top notch. Its a luxurious vehicle that looks good and loaded on the inside but crappy on the outside

The camry can be upgraded on the inside to feel like a luxurious vehicle which won't come cheap and least I forget it is a robber magnet

I highly doubt that someone can be that jobless and significantly useless to himself that he would resort to creating different monikers for no reasonable reason .... it practically makes no sense @ all..

such person would have to be a wandering vagabond with a stolen phone that was mistakenly unlocked with lifetime data bundle subscription intact!

I cannot think of any digital native that fits this category/ description .... so it cannot be werepey..... cannot be.... fitnt be.....

just cannot be.... I refuse to believe this is wereypey

cc thebigkendo, nurey, diportivo and the host of elders

The op is not wereypey but the monikers to watch out for are CityNGR and somoRIn or whatever they belong to our local champ, if you know you know.

Based on Budget, I can't go for Sienna, since Tokunbo is my consideration.

The shape, space and look of The Kia wired my fancy and more importantly, the Price is right. Mazda and Sharon does not have the sea me appeal to me even they match the Price.

I just need a professional or user insight on its functionalities.

Although with additional budget, I'll be settling for Mitsubishi Spacewagon, just want to the insights on KIA functionalities first of.

look at all this 7 seaters and see which one can replace the carnival

Toyota previa

Toyota Avanza

Honda shuttle

Isuzu Oasis

Good morning all.

I'm thinking of buying a 2007/2008 Infiniti FX45. I've always loved that car.

Is there anyone that has used (or still uses) this car? What's the maintenance like? I know it's a V8, so it will gulp fuel. I don't mind that aspect.

Is it a reliable car?

I await your honest reviews.

Thanks.

If you are not decided after reading those thread, please look elsewhere. I know the fx35 is ok but I have no experience with the fx45 don't know much about the VK45DE but both are same difference is engine fitted.

Do you have the number of that damsel in distress, I would like to play rough play with. Though I am not promising anything

Femich18:
hmmmm....we all need it. But sincerely i don't know why those danfo drivers drive as if they are animals.
Even those keke Drivers now are now imitating them. keke drivers are always in a hurry, i don't know where they are hurrying to

The fear of deliver money is the beginning of hurry hurry

if truly that is a carnival then it has the 2.5L V6 rover engine, from my research that engine was fitted to 2 very unreliable mistakes of a car the Rover freelander and the Rover 75 if you know you know.

The 3.5L fitted in the sedona for north America is very much ok. now the next thing that got me is the fuel economy for that size 15L/100km city 11L/100km highway haba for that Shikini size. If not we'll maintained chai the car go dey swallow fuel like mad

my verdict is the vehicle is a dying breed maybe you should look at the mitsubishi spacerunners without the GDI engine.

go and preach it to danfos drivers
