Thanks man! I appreciate. Now I'm thrown back into confusion. Infact, Guzzuzz will settle this matter o!

Any you can lay your hands on is better, the accord doesn't give issues from what I know but the parts are a bit on the high than the camry. Also when you hear any sound the accord must be attended to to avoid leg pull but my in laws accord is 12 years no leg pull even once.

Interior wise trim against trim, the accord is always higher than the camry. The camry has an XLE with fabric seat imagine.

Good. Those engines aren't the sturdiest, from what I've heard, though. But maintenence is very cheap, suspension parts are way more durable than the equivalent Corolla's, for example. Feel free to buy one in good shape.
Thank you.

Nurey,

Abeg give me your opinion on the Lincoln MKX 2007/2008.

Apart from the fact that I know it's a Ford Edge, please give your opinion as per durability and parts cost and supply as well as maintenance.

Thanks.

It is durable, solid and good looking. The 3.5L engine is also capable but as it's still a Ford parts are on the high side.
Part is still the same as ford edge since they are both same thing, so ford technician technicians can fix it

I am talking majorly about tokunbo parts. But I give it to ford, they have solid suspension parts.

As for new majority prefer to utilise dealership they believe it's safer

I'm talking brand new OEM parts. Their Rear shocks for Edges and Explorer 010-15 na their Achilles heels and also their front differential and fuel rails for their ecoboost engines.

Both cars are reliable and, imo, about the same same in most departments. The Lexus is more reliable, though, and also the more capable off-road vehicle, I'd say. Luxury, handling, and performance are all for the Infiniti, however.

Prestige depends on personal preference.

You're joking. Forget the mpg listed online, ask people who use that car what their mileage is like. Not only in Nigeria sef. Yes, even in the US where people use the premium gas that the RDX absolutely requires. Imagine how bad it'd be with Nigerian fuel. The RDX is fuckin awful on gas.

https://www.motortrend.com/cars/acura/rdx/2007/2007-acura-rdx-verdict/
17 mpg on premium, lmao.

Cc: Radautoworks. What was your gas mileage like on the RDX, the one with the turbo? grin

And yes, the RX is more luxurious than the RDX. What are you talking about? Even ignoring actual features and everything, the RX competes against the MDX, a more expensive, bigger Acura. RDX is positioned against the new Lexus NX. An RX is more luxurious than an RDX of same year.

You have cheated. The RDX is more luxurious than the RX330. Op chose 330 not 350 grin

I will leave the fuel economy since it requires premium quality fuel.

I did say if you have a choice don't buy parts are available but majority are tokunbo that will still not last. Good parts for this car are beginning to fade away, look at the specimens on our roads and you did agree with me.
