I am certain the 2005 acura TSX does not require premium gasoline. Though it maybe recommended but not required.
I drive a 2008 TSX and the manual says premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or so. I have googled and that seems to be the octane rating of Nigerian fuel. I have therefore restricted myself to buying fuel solely at nnpc stations.
Any need to use an octane booster?

Hello Nurey and other gurus. What are your thoughts on the Honda CRV? If recommended, which will you further recommend between the 07-09 model and the 2010-2011?

CVT transmission is same look as automatic transmission it's the internals that are different.

Honda city 2006 till date is fitted with CVT nothing bad in CVT just ensure that you don't pour automatic transmission fluid inside a CVT

Parts are not cheap. Engine is over 700k, gear over 600k

It is a good car but not as rugged as Toyota and Honda.
Hope your routes have relative good roads

Fear of theives for that Corolla car. Do you want to use it for e-hailing? Or for personal use?

If it is personal go for Honda Accord or Toyota Camry V6

But since your road is not too good you can go for Rx 300,330 or Toyota Highlander or Honda pilot

So, I recently move to Ikorodu and need to upgrade from my sedan to an SUV (Compact) for reasons being the nature of road and flooding.
So I'm looking at these 3 model of compact SUVs.
2013 Rav4, 2014 Honda CRV or 2014 KIA sportage.
I need a review of these vehicles in terms of:
1) Reliability
2) Durability
3) Fuel efficiency
4) Economy in terms of repairs, parts etc.
5) Resale value(Just in case I move out of this location)
My gurus in the house, thanks in anticipation of your kind responses.
