Kia Rio 2007 - 2009 Vs Honda City 2007.
Both Nigerian used.

the city comes with Honda i-DSI engine with 8plugs (2 plugs per cylinder 4cylinder x 2 plugs = and the automatic transmission is the CVT type.
1.3iDSI
8plugs
1.5iDSI
8plugs
1.5 vtec (normal)

that inverted knife shape isn't ideal at all.

The rio you will get is the Nigerian version highly stripped down with minimal safety features, low tech.

on paper the city beats the rio hands down but in real life the rio has a solid build and body would still be intact after years of use.

I would pick the kia Rio auto or manual over the manual or CVT city.

Welldone guys. U peeps re doing a wonderful job.

Could you help determine which is an overall better car (tokunbo) to buy between a Ford Edge SEL 2011 vs Toyota Venza 2010 vs 2007 Lexus GS 300 vs Acura MDX 2006. Budget is 4 - 5.5million. Thanks.

ford edge vs venza
ford SEL i4 2.0 ecoboost Turbo 240hp 19/27 fuel economy
ford SEL 3.5 V6 305hp 18/25 fuel economy

venza i4 2.7L 21/27 FWD remove one each for AWD
venza 3.5L V6 18/26 FWD remove one each for AWD

The Ford SEL is not the highest trim but we'll loaded with in dash 6CD loader, cloth seat 6way driver memory with ford my touch.
attention:
1. my touch misbehaves and most dash function is embedded here
2. Too basic for the price tag interior wise
3. the turbo in the 4cylinder is 150,000miles/10 years by 2021 you may need to replace the unit.
4. needs premium fuel
Venza is a well taught out vehicle and highly reliable the 2.7L isn't bad but has a high cabin noise which is know amongst vehicles fitted with such engine (hiace, hilux).
attention:
1. vague steering feel which makes it very far from a performance ride
2. uninspired trim levels not as loaded as the Ford.

For reliability and fuel economy the Venza is a car you will enjoy day in day out the V6 would ensure reduced road noise and optimum acceleration, enough cargo space not the most fancy.
The Ford edge is an upscale CUV able to hold its own, solid build and huge stamping hp, very strong parts.

Go for the Venza for reliability and fuel economy, pick the Ford to stand out and it's build quality.

Lexus GS300 vs MDX

both vehicles are luxurious than the first 2 even with year deficit.
i don't know why you added a sedan in the mix .

mdx 3.5L V6 265hp 17/23
the mdx is luxurious out of the box and has a 3rd row. well equipped to the tooth than the Ford or venza the only downside is
1. that shape is like old school
2. known to have transmission issues but I think the 03 to 06 was reviewed. so you are probably safe.

in order of preference
1. Venza V6 AWD limited
2. ford edge limited
3. Lexus GS300
4. MDX

finofaya:
Thanks a lot bro. Can you give me an idea of how bad the engine noise is? And do you know the price range for a tokunbo one?

if you have entered a mazda B2000/2200 before when you force it to accelerate that's the sound. forcing an engine to accelerate.

tokunbo price I have no idea but if my knowledge serves me right olx can give you a working price range

not a bad car in reliability, parts may be scarse. the 2009 upwards should be considered with the 2.4L ecotoec 172hp engine. Though the 2.2 ecotec 142/149hp isn't bad either.

noisy engine due to car size and visibility impaired due to design. in all it is appropriate to make it a second car driven on weekends as vehicles it shares parts with aren't popular here.

that side mirror is the one keeping danfos in check from scratching the car. Now eyaf gone, free scratching galore

Another innovation to assist our mothers in tieing their gale. Lexus bringing the mirror closer

Hello
Great gurus in the house

Please I want to confirm,Honda city or Honda Civic from 2006

Which is better in terms of fuel economical and cost of maintenance please for Uber/Taxify ?

the civic is a better car

the city comes with Honda i-DSI engine with 8plugs (2 plugs per cylinder 4cylinder x 2 plugs = and the automatic transmission is the CVT type.
1.3iDSI
1.5iDSI
1.5 vtec (normal)

The civic is a better and more reliable knock about vehicle.

but all boils down to your choice. But the civic is a beauty to look at.

Kindly compare 2007 Toyota Corolla vs Lexus IS350 (2008),...also Honda CR-V vs Toyota Rav4 - 2009 models

corolla vs IS350 this is an abomination of comparism

The corolla is a low budget vehicle with ease of maintenance and good fuel economy with a high reliability rating. Though a high robber magnet

the lexus IS is a PERFORMANCE meets SPORTS to produce POWER. The 3GR-FSE ensures it's 0-60 mark stays at early 5secs, unique design, weight and streamlined body ensures the body utilises the almost 303hp derived from the engine.

everything about the IS is premium leather, in dash nav, cruise control, laser lane assist, backup camera, alloy rim, sun roof, driver memory seat etc.
Attention: the engine in the IS is around a million buck for replacement needs premium fuel, engine oil and filter and regular uncompromised maintenance but also reliable.

Rav4 vs CRV
rav 22/28 2.5L I4
crv 20/27 2.4L I4

Rav4 has a 3rd row version and a V6 engine.

both vehicles are ok pick the one you fancy most.

Toshiba ni oooo

Toshiba available

Please I will like you to compare these 3 cars for me Lexus is, gs and es 2008/09 model

nothing much to compare
GS is above ES which is above the IS

The GS and IS have V8 powered engines while the ES has 4cylinder (jdm) and a V6 but let us work with their common engine type. The 4cylinder IS is a diesel engine.
GS300/350 vs ES350 vs IS250/300/350

IS350 has 306hp compact luxury vehicle
ES350 has 272hp midsized luxury vehicle
GS350 has 303hp midsized luxury vehicle.

All the vehicles are ok and have class in their respective zone.

I don't want to talk too much the winner in Nigerian context is the lexus ES with its 3.5L 2grfe shared by Toyota V6 lineup will ensure you have parts and technician know how. it has the premium feel and quality build. if you don't want to spend too much on repairs and constant visits to mechanic workshop pick the ES with the Mark Levinson Sound system and rear backup camera.

You are wrong about the w202 rust issues. It's a very rare occurrence unlike the prefacelift W210's.

weyreypey defender of benz universe. I repeat the w202 is a rusty ol bucket, not as bad as the w210s E class but still a rusty ol bucket.

am in my house come and bite me

cartwright1:
please compare the following in terms reliability, maintenance, availability of parts, and fuel economy.
1999 Mercedes Benz W202 C180
2002 BMW 318i facelift.
Thanks.
PS, I'm currently in the East.

Mercedes benz for reliability, the w202 is an indestructible german machine but a rusty old bucket if not well maintained

The C180 is a good engine as it has low tech engine parts compared to the 6cylinder variants

benz wins here, parts abound but both have very solid parts.

Both vehicles are extremely close as they are below the food chain in their respective lineup.

do the benz for easy access to parts and technician know how

Pick the BMW just to stand out. The 318 is a 150hp slow ride though has the finesse of the ultimate driving machine but with those 4cylinder ponies, baba every jap you encounter will leave you in their dust.

This guy has an ego and complex issues. Its not belittling. Telling us he bought a muscle for his 1year old. Do i really give a f.uck? while telling the other guy that made simple enquiry about the fx35 to go and buy golf 1. That infiniti is simply way above his league likesay he wan buy buggati Hehe he has not even priced a used infiniti before. It is soo low! It has very poor second hand value because of its myrad of electrical issues and poor fuel economy. So the demand is low .I do not have any plan on selling my G35 cos i trust Nigerians they will price it kobo but i know the value of what i drive. Nigerians prefer corollas. He would see a super sharp FX35 which is not a lemon for less than 1.5m!

Nurey well done oh . . . I will be back for you sha, not today.

They just interrupted power supply . . . make i go on generator . . . .

I wonder why Ayobo sef no dey get light, ehn . . .

Since when I park come this Ipaja, na so so generator everyday.

Just for the fun of it, where in Lekki were you resident at the time.

p.s.: a million of him can not even belittle, he is only mad that his Dad could not provide him a muscle or its equivalent when he clocked one.

Why should I be held responsible for his misfortune in life; something a prophylactic would have solved.

just at the back of the LG close to where kauffman building is. they call it new road now

makavele please let sleeping dogs lie you have made your points and very valid one, I besiege you to calm down please.

pipedreams what I don't like in your statement is belittling makavele simply because he lives in ipaja or ajegunle.

I have stayed in lekki and I know what people living over there face, cost of tfare, undrinkable water, flood, hardcore robbers.

its not a crime to drive bugatti and live in a slum it's called choice

but it's a crime to live a fake life in lekki it's called low self esteem which leads to depression and then death

EOD inherited the trans plague from babyboy

including odyssey and pilot

and Acura MDX and Acura tl

I am only aware of odyssey and it's the international version not the Australian version. Also that acura TL with the 3.2L engine is a disaster waiting to happen but that's using palm oil.

The others you mentioned are due to wrong oil use I have never come to an issue concerning that. The baby itself I have never heard of a wide transmission issue when I say wide I mean a lot of people experiencing transmission issues due to build or etc etc.

You are still shifting post sir

If you initial response to OP query was "QUALITY Z1 fluid", nobody will argue with you.. but your response was "HONDA ATF-Z1", which is specific.. You then changed to jumia/konga "QUALITY Z1" then outsourced Honda Z1 before you started posting link about 2011 Honda Z1 and Z1 equivalent ... So can you see the goal post shifting?

no I can't every product in the market has imitation or fake the onus is on you to buy quality, putting quality in front of Z1 means nothing.

I wasn't even adamant he should do z1 replacement but their are still original z1 in the market if you know where and how to get it
