The TL SH-AWD is the car I'd buy.
Then the C300.
Then the ES350
Then the BMW.

But the BMW is qualitatively the best vehicle on the list. May just be expensive to own.

Thanks boss.

Any thoughts on the Glk 350, boss? I know they are different categories but I wanted the SUV for ground clearance because of rain.

@Nostradamus Audis are quite complicated for the location. Ask him to find out where the thermostat is located first? His findings will answer his questions.

The BMW has a good driving dynamic, affordable parts but mechanic can be an issue.

The Audi A4 engine is extremely common, parts common to and very strong.

but overall I would pick the E46 over the A4, it is higher in reliability than the A4

The 06 Xc90 has various engine based trims, is it a 2.5turbo? Or a V8. You need to verify that it's actually a 2006 XC90, because the previous model year, 2005, physically looks essentially the same, but had a notoriously unreliable engine/transmission pairing, the T6. For 2006, the V8 replaced the T6 as the premium XC90 trim.

Reliability is on par with similar models, reliability is related to maintenance to some extent, both of which can be said to be average, for an 06 XC90. The earlier V8 engines had some balance shaft issues, but those were resolved subsequently. For more on those issues:

https://blog.fcpeuro.com/the-dark-side-of-volvos-excellent-v8

Ruggedness, the XC90 wasn't really designed as an off road vehicle, it's no Jeep Wrangler or Toyota 4runner. However the Haldex AWD system is relatively capable of taking you through most terrain you would encounter while driving in Nigeria. Just don't go climbing mountains, and you would be fine.

Fuel efficiency for the 06 is linked to the engine trim. The V8 is a 4.4l Yamaha designed workhorse putting out 311 bhp, and impressive torque for its category. The 2.5t engine can feel significantly underpowered, especially as the XC90 is a rather heavy vehicle. The V8 is not overly thirsty under normal driving applications. If you're one of those people that can't stand people passing you when you drive, or you're lead footed, well that would translate to your pocket in fuel costs. The 2.5t is a relative fuel sipper, but don't expect to win any races with it.

Parts and expertise are available for the XC90s. Volvos have witnessed a recent resurgence, however outside Lagos some parts (and expertise) may be tricky to locate, one may have to resort to buying in Lagos and shipping cross country. In Lagos however, there's a street in Ladipo, Daleko/Alhaji Amusa street, that's almost exclusively all things Volvo. You could find pretty much any part you'd ever need there. Labour, too.

The desired features are also linked to the trims. The V8 models tend to come with third row seating (only comfortable for kids), third row AC outlets, rear seat entertainment (dvd/headphone outlets), BLIS (blind spot monitors). Other available options for all trims are the pop up display unit, rear parking or proximity sensors, etc.

The summary is, for its price point, the 06 XC90 is a capable vehicle. Are there better alternatives? Certainly, but most of those have higher sticker prices. If the V8 scares you, up your budget a bit to include the 2007 XC90, with its all new 3.2l Inline 6 Cylinder engine which is a compromise between the 2.5t and the 4.4l V8.
In addition, your location may also influence the availability of parts and labour.

This's an exposition in its entirety, tnx Boss

All fun and games until he buys the rare car and can't find parts.

The RL is rare and a much better car than the options he was looking at.

Please can I see a picture of the RL?

Where does he intend to get parts and technical know-how in ondo? To get such in Ibadan is even harder

Buy the MDX and use the money you save versus buying an RX350 to look after the car.

The 2010-2013 rx350 is a newer model car compared to the 2010-2013 mdx which actually debuted in 2007.
As a result, it has newer features and newer bells and whistles. The rx350 also has better mpg and that's about it.
The Acura mdx with shawd beats it in handling, driving dynamics, off-roading capability and cargo space if you have a large family.
The honda pilot is also good but the rx350 trumps it in all categories asides cargo or interior space being a newer car.

I wouldn't talk about the Santa Fe. Never used it and never rated it. It's cheap though but replacement parts can be pricey.

If mpg is a concern and you don't have need for a 7 seater and off-roading, get the rx350.
The 2010 - 2013 rx350 will set you back about 6.5m - 7m to get one while the 2010-2013 mdx will cost you about 4m - 5m to get one.

thanks all.
I appreciate the several suggestions.
