Good morning bro, please I need your input between this two cars, I'm trying to buy car but don't know which one to choose between this my two preferential cars.

2013 Toyota Avalon
2013 Lexus GS350
They are of the same price bracket, which one from ur own perspective is good

The GS is superior by far. But also quite a bit more expensive to own.

The major mechanical difference between the two is that the gs350 is an awd while the Avalon is fwd. Other than that, the mechanical difference is not too much.

While I love the Avalon especially in Nigeria because it is not common, Lexus is Toyota's luxury arm so while the Avalon is Toyota's flagship sedan the GS is still more luxurious.

That being said I personally would get the Avalon because too many people own a GS and I like to be different.

Not the 2013 GS350. The 2013 Avalon is currently more common than the 2013 GS350. I've personally bought 2 units of 2013 Avalon for clients in the last 2 months alone.
In a day I can count 4x 2013 avalons before I see one 2013 gs350

I’ll take the GS.
The GS will give you the better feeling and has a better resale value.

Depends on where you are living though. Because over here there are more Avalon than GS of that year

2009 Acura Tsx

Here’s my opinion:

RELIABILITY:
2007 TSX > Elantra > 2009 TSX

MAINTENANCE COST:
1.) In the event of parts replacement (High to Low):
Elantra > 2009 TSX > 2007 TSX

2.) Daily maintenance/ wearing and tearing of parts including fuel and oil consumption (High to Low):
2007 TSX > 2009 TSX > Elantra.

Just to add, the performance rating will be (Good, better, best):
Elantra > 2009 TSX > 2007 TSX

If I’m to pick, I’ll take a 2010 TSX v6 instead of a 2009 TSX, followed by the Elantra because of its design. I won’t consider the 2007 TSX just because of its cramped rear legroom space.

However, I’ll pick a 2009 EX-L Honda Accord V6 over and again without looking at the 2010 TSX.

If you so much love the TSX, I suggest you look at a 2010 TSX v6 instead.

Good Evening All. Please I have question.

U know that situation when u want to quickly over take a car ,, within a short period of time and in a tight place or when u want to overtake a trailer. Then u press your throttle with force and to the end , the can will behave like it's over charged and speed up so quick to give u turbor like speed, I think it is called TurborCharged.

My car can not do it again.

I removed it from Over drive still the same thing what could be the problem thanks .

I really miss that now I can hardly overtake kekebus ,

This is really funny.

You say “my car can not do it again”. grin

The situation you explained isn’t called turbocharged. Rather, that’s what your torque does for you.

As to your car’s current situation, I would have mentioned the OD feature on your transmission but since you already said you have it disabled, then lemme call Gazzuzz to bring his spoon because food is ready.

Kingreign, carry your plate too and come and eat.

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown, I'm on a budget of 2.5-3m max, so I'm not really sure if a can get a toks tsx 2010 for that price range. The accord is very popular around here and I'd like something different. Plus I heard the V6 engine has more fuel consumption �?

I have browsed everything and d final answers I could get online was over-drive and TurborCharger, I don't know why people laugh at that please u can browse it it's in almost in a every car and when it I take it to mechanic band explain this to them they hardly give me good reasons, but seriously overtaking is a real problem here.


I forgot to mention if I am climbing on an inclined surface , not hill just normal express way buy inclined upwards , my speed meter will climb at 40 mPH and stop until I am off to level ground, not like befor

You're referring to kickdown, where your car downshifts to the lowest possible gear depending on load. Keep your car in drive, remove any funky settings you used on the transmission, and try it. I'd say coast at 60 km/h, then pedal to metal.

Befor even if am at 30MPH and pedal to metal it will speed up and overtake any car I set as target , trust me now if I pedal ,it will just reach 40MPH or it will be just be looking at me like mumu.
