No idea. Kick was dying. I'm actually pissed I spent money on a new battery months ago, since it turned out to be a kick issue. I just didn't consider the starter because service records showed it was changed about 18k miles before I got the car. It appears the replaced one wasn't of very high quality, however.

Damn!
That’s mind-cutting o grin

thanks for your input please tell me a little more about the 2015 RX350 Lexus I mean how it tops the ML and GLK

I didn’t say “it tops”… or not.
It all depends on individual opinions and final choices.

However, the 2015 RX350 is a very reliable car. It’s the final model year for that chassis so I believe all mods would have been included.
The NHTSA gives it a safety rating of 9.3/10.

Aside speed, I still don’t see where the 2012 ML350 stands a chance with the 2015 RX350. Besides, one shouldn’t consider an SUV and speed in the same thought. But if you want to eat your cake and have it, then look the way of the F-Sport.

I chose not to mention the GLK in previous post. It’s just a C-Class wagon, appealing to younger folks who were caught in between the decision to get a sedan or an SUV undecided

I'd like your opinions on Lexus RX350 2013 vs Mercedes Benz GLK 350 2014 vs Mercedes Benz ML350 2012
Please focus your inputs towards their engines
-As a daily driver within my city and once in interstate.
-Cost of parts as well as maintenance.
-Comfort and Luxury they can offer.
-Suspensions, tyre wear and Electricals.
-And also reliability and performance of their transmission systems.
cc; nurey weyreypey kingreign heavenlybang Philadelphia and every other honorable on this thread that I failed to mention
Thanks in advance...

From your metrics, the ML350 ticks most boxes.
However, if you had said the 2015 RX350, I’d have recommended the Lexus.
In this case, the ML wins.

Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 10:21am On Aug 31, 2021
The Lincoln is way behind in all the metrics you indicated for comparison. You must source parts for this car outside Nigeria.
The Lincoln didn’t get the best rating for handling or performance.

Now this leaves you with the FX35 and the RX350.

Both are great cars and reliable as long as you carry out regular maintenance and use genuine fluids and parts. For the metrics, below are my assertions:

Performance: FX35 wins
Reliability: RX350 wins (slightly more reliable)
Handling: FX35 wins
Maintenance: RX350 wins.

If I’m to add more;

Speed: FX35
Prestige: FX35
Easy to fix: RX350
Appeals more to criminals: RX350

Overall, I’ll pick the FX35 over the RX350 because I prefer quality ride, handling, speed, peace of mind, and prestige in a car.

I wish you luck in your choice.

I feel like I have ruined my life. I have not had sex in about 5 weeks I rarely have sex mostly 2 or 3 times in a month, I always use a condom and I've never had an experience of it tearing at any point. So for two weeks now my thighs have been itching with burning sensations at my buttocks, my little papi and nutsack were doing great the whole time no itching at all till today.

So I thought at first it had to be my water so I bought Dettol but no changes I decided to buy an antifungal cream and take Piriton. I don't know but after my third dose of Piriton exactly 1hour later I go out to pee only to find two bumps on my glans.

I have never been so scared in my life. What do I do please I am also very low on cash as it is. I need counseling I don't want to fall into depression or get tempted to do hemp. I was just getting my life together. How do I get out of this?

I don’t know what’s wrong with Nairaland mods these days. They just move any topic to front page without doing proper analysis of the poster.

An account was created yesterday (29th August 2021) and the poster opened a thread to indirectly solicit money and scam unsuspecting members of the public. Yet, this post made front page.
From every indication, one can see that the posts is false.

For instance, the 2 words in bold contradict themselves.
How will someone low on cash be able to afford hemp? Does it really make any sense?

The bad reviews i meant aren't more of drive quality and mechanical problems. That's why i specified "interior quality". I heard the interior is made of cheap materials that gets bad in no time. How true is that?

For the fuel economy. You guys are totally misunderstanding me. I am not concerned about fuel economy as i know very well that V6 consumes alot. I am only comparing the V6 of G35/37 to its competitiors

For a Japanese, I can tell you that the interior build including leather, steering, gear knob, sound system and infotainment of the 2008 Infiniti G35X beats those you’ll find in a Lexus ES350 of same year as well as the Acura TL and Mercedes C350 of same year.
You definitely didn’t hear well.

I'm not really discouraged though. Just trying to increase my budget for the 2010 g37 as i heard its more reliable than 2008 G35hr.
I'm more concerned about how parts sourcing will be for 2010 G37 compared to 2008 g35 and diffence in cost of parts and maintenance

You didn’t hear correctly.

I envy you grin my Nissan Altima Ser was a joy to drive daily.. That car was fast and I first bought it it came with summer tires with stock 17in wheels.. It was fun to drive ....i use to race the g35x on the road.. Those g35 guys will just look me and drive pass by with ease.........
And the g35 are easy car to maintain ....very easy and cheap to maintain......

This has become my custom when those GLK350 guys, ES350, C350 guys want to fool themselves.

One guy using a 2005 Corolla S or so wanted to hear the exhaust note of my car. So, I gave him more than that and kept him like 100m at my back then later allowed him to get close enough to at least get a name to remember and research on when he gets home. I don’t even want to mention those guys driving Toyota Sienna or maybe 2008/2009.
Well, I’ve only chosen to let the “little children play” while I enjoy my BOSE speakers and 6 CD changers undecided

When I bought the car I thought it was the g35x .. I didn't know it was a g25x .. I didn't know even know Infiniti even made g25x...... Plz read it again......
And when I mean turbo . I mean the deep sound the exhaust makes when u start the start the car or when u step on the gas to fast .......


Now the G25x is very light compare to other fast cars have driven .. The handling of the car on top fast is no so good... .. The car starts to shake a bit and I don't feel am in full control ...... And the g35 or g37 has a better handling and much heavier on the road.......

Now my old Nissan Altima ser was heavier and has more of a sport drive mode... I feel more in control on top speed.. It has 260hp compare with g25x of about 220hp ......now compare that with g35 or g37 with 300hp........

The g25x sucks in that speed category. Poor handling.....
I get your point.

The G35 comes with 306hp and the G37 with 330hp.
Coming from your particular Nissan to your G25X will definitely affect your driving because of your love for speed.
So, I totally get it when you talk about the weight, speed, acceleration and exhaust note.

To compensate for this, I suggest you get a G37XS if you can.

By the way, all you think you lost in terms of performance on the G25X, you surely have them in beauty, aesthetics and attention.

No body talks big V6 3,500cc (min.) with 250+ hp, 250+ib.ft, and kerb mass of 3500+ ibs and talk fuel economy.
What folks talk is refinement, acceleration ease of repairs and agility when they talk about such engines.

Absolutely, no one does.
You can’t eat your cake and have it. If you want a v6 with a balance of fuel economy, then get e Lexus IS250 or G25X and relax.
You can even get an i4 and let us have peace.

I've always wanted to get the G35/37. But i have been discouraged by the bad reviews i got from some people. Please tell me. Hows the interior quality and whats the difference in fuel economy and maintenance requirements compared to 08Es350/Gs350 and 09 TL?

What “bad reviews” do you get and from who? The G35/37 continually receive great reviews from users in Canada and US and I’m sure you can guess why? Maintenance culture.

If you’re getting reviews from those users in Nigeria that never scan their cars or swim in a pool of water or use Conoil to service their G35/G37, then I have no comment to make.
By the way, listen to what kingreign said about fuel economy and parts.

I’m loving my G35X daily.

My brother the G25x powers sucks.. It does not pick up fast at all .....

I bought the car at dealer auction.. I wasn't expecting to win it based on my budget.. The car was neatly very neatly used ... I believe it was a trade in .. The car was super clean .......

So before bidding for the car .. I drove it a bit and I was wondering why the car is not making that turbo sound..

My previous car was a Nissan Altima ser .. They don't make them anymore . it was made from 2005 and 2006... So I was addicted to the speed and turbo sound of the ser. So I was expecting it from the g25x thinking it was a g35× ...

So after winning the bid and drove the car home.. I notice it was not fast at all like my Nissan Altima ser .. I thought something was wrong with the car ..... So when I finally got home . I now did a 360 look around of the car .. I now saw the G25x logo and than Google it .. I than find out that it only has about 206hp . I almost cried .. I was very upset at myself.....for people that like speed like me, I would not advice them to get it.......

The take off speed is very embarrassing and it seems lite on the highway.. It is a smaller engine . but once the speed picks up ... Am hoping to get a 2011 upwards g37Xs if I can find a good deal ...

So stick to the G35 or G37 from 2010 upwards.. Get the sport version.. It is much faster over 300hp.. Fun cars...

I can imagine.
