Hi guys, what is anyone gonna say about a 2009 corolla LE

Please I need the cons and pros of this very car. I like the looks and it fits my personality.

Is it a good buy and any tips on maintaining the car will go a long way.

Okay but here is my question, how often do they break down? For example would it cost me 100k to fix a problem every month or just 100k to fix or buy a part every 2 to 3 months? (Benz)

I have been looking at Highlanders a lot on Copart and to be honest i don't like the design or the fat looking interior seats.

Need to understand how often a benz would drag me to the mechanic workshop and what an average fix would cost me. Also from 08 to 13 ml 350 the one with the best rating.

Thanks and sorry for asking too many questions lol

A new generation of ML350 started in 2012, so the design is very different from 08 - 011. It's more expensive too. If you have the means, get the 012 - 013. There is a mercedes benz thread on Car Talk. Search for it and make further inquiries.

Just seeing this.

In my own opinion,any REGULAR(toyota,honda...) car well maintained is good,once you service your ride when due,and you care for it passionately.

To your question,its pros are basically what is synonymous with regular toyota products: its fuel efficient,its a durable car,can endure abuse,availability of auto technicians that can work on it,if it gives problem, spare part is available readily..

Cons: Easy target for theft, uninspiring driving experience,dull exterior and bland interior,too common on the road(its everywhere)..

If i was in your shoe,i will open up my options to 2010 Honda Accord.

Honda produce one of the best engines in the world,and they always make sleek exterior and dope interior.

You would never be bored in an ACCORD.
Wish you best of luck in picking your choice.

You are spot on boss.

But in my own opinion,2016 accord is the most sleekest honda,i just love that front grille,especially if its black in colour,with tinted glass and black rim.

Honda really reduce the gap between ACCORD and its luxury brother ACURA,that you wont even know which ride to choose.

Thats my cons about TOYOTA/LEXUS in Nigeria.

Its even more worse,when yahoo guys put their radar on it.

Most of them now use Lexus,and it do cause harrasments from policemen,if you are young and driving Lexus.

Bro,if you are very gallant finacially,i will advice you go for that GLA,you will standout.

I think people who seek reviews here should know that there are different knowledge and experience levels, and people can have different subjective opinions about certain vehicles, which can affect their recommendations.

The philosophy behind the GLA is similar to the philosophy behind the CLA, both were intended to bring younger, less moneyed buyers into the Benz marque, lots of quality and feature compromises were made, particularly with the CLA250, which is an entry level economy sedan masquerading as a luxurious Mercedes Benz.

Simply no comparison between the RX 350 and the GLA. Most people who would claim the GLA is "better", are people who are Mercedes Benz bias leaning, or just anti-Lexus/Toyota/Japanese.
