Please Bosses in the house, I need a quick one for a very good friend who is about getting his first car.
He is confused between the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT and 2009 Camry Sports SE.
Please help me compare the two rides under the following :
Fun to drive
Maintenance
Fuel Economy
Reliability
Best to use in Lagos.
Thanks.

The pontiac would be fun to drive if the camry has same 2az engine as it's lighter with better curb weight.

maintenance of the 2 is negligible as vibe is cheaper than 4cylinder camry which is cheaper than V6 camry.

fuel economy vibe is better

reliability is close as both are highly reliable

pontiac is better not a robbers magnet.

Hello car gurus, after driving a saloon car on our crazy Nigerian roads, I realized the best ride for my kind of movement is an SUV and a Toyota.

I Narrowed down to a 2006 Rav4 or a 2004 Highlander. I'd prefer the Rav4 if I could get the 3row version because it looks better and is smaller. One has to minimize the Highlander attention in this kidnapping era.

So please how common is the 3row Rav4? and may be there is a better option.

I realized they cost about the same.

If the Almera is tokunbo which would rather be a blue bird syphylus I did say buy but if nah all those bought brand-new in Nigeria I have my reservation for those.

The Honda city is a better alternative here than the nissan

Other options don't come in third row. if you are afraid of kidnapping and stuff buy a toyota previa, avensis verso or sienna instead atleast they will think you are an interstate driver and let you go.

From your options rav4 with 3rd row seat is bae but the highlander too is ok as it commands more cargo space

Thank you very much sir.
I actually considered the Sienna but I do some offroading reason why I focus on the SUV.
Cargo space is not my priority so it looks like the Rav it is.
Thank you once again.

Hello guys. my wife has a 2007 v6 rav4 and the fuel consumption is crazy.

from my little analysis the car is doing 4.8km/L or 11.3mpg. I think this is not normal. any experience or suggestions.

Good day house, I need your advice or suggestion. I keep hearing a lot of "don't buy an Infiniti (G35 or G37), and Acura (tl, mdx, tsx) Why? I have seen a 2008 Infiniti G35 to replace my 2006 Avalon, do I consider that or live with the Avalon or get something else? If you have other suggestions, please I would like to know.

Thanks

buy the one in the pix, could come as accord, Honda legend or Acura TSX. depending on which one it is, you get better performance and luxurious accessories than EOD.

TSX better than legend better than Accord

Boss, no be so o.

The Legend is an entirely different vehicle. That's the Honda Flagship, also known as the Acura RL or RLX. It's far above the level of the Accord or TSX.

Ah, but you literally typed Honda Legend in the post you made and I quoted

Meanwhile the Legend has never had the exterior rear fascia shown in the picture he posted. That rear only fits the TSX, or the European Accords.

The Legend is Honda's flagship sedan in many regions. Not to be compared with Accords and lesser sedans

That exact accord in Nigeria has 3 badges either accord, tsx or legend. That's what I have seen. I am just informing the op if what I see incase he comes across any of the 3 the tsx is better than the remaining 2. The legend maybe a foul but I have seen it several times.
