No. 2002 Civic had a lot of issues. I'd only recommend the 04/05. Those are solid, I believe.



Go with the 206.

Lol, I love that particular Lexus, ES 350.....I alaays stare whenever I see it drive past.....e fine pass dt ur own jor. Upgrade to the 2010 model na, make u dey gist us about am.

I dey fear when ds car go start hin wahala. If I drive small, I go off AC, make Compressor for rest small, I no get 150k to replace compressor.

The Supercharger, I can't even remember the last time I engaged it. I no dey run pass 100km/hr even if na Abuja I dey go.

HeavenlyBang:
I'm a Mercedes fan but the company's brand image is terrible at this point, imo. So stereotypical.

Major reason why I haven't bought a Merc is that there are just a lot of better cars at that price point.
W203? Worse than the Acura TL.
W211? SBC issues.
W204? Acura TL and Infiniti G35/37 are better cars. It's also overpriced.

W212 is the only Merc I'd consider but it's above my budget right now. There's simply not a lot of value for money in buying a Mercedes.

Also, I'm not sure why you're using celebrity opinions as proof of anything. Odds are none of them know anything about cars.

Which year lexus es 350 u dey use?

Guys, is the oil consumption issue in the 2009 Toyota Camry really something to worry about? From my research, I can see it occurs more in the 2az - Fe engine than the 2ar - Fe engine. The 2010 4 Cylinders Toyota Camry seems out of reach for now cos of my budget so I am considering the 2009. Can anyone advise? Or shed more light on this issue?

HeavenlyBang:
Save up more and buy the 2010. It's a qualitative improvement. People use the 2az, though, and they're not dead, so there's that.

It's my first personal car. I am not new to vehicle usage and maintenance. But I don't like the feeling of driving something I know is prone to failure at some point not to talk of having it as my car, I go hard on the gas pedal atimes, I abuse vehicles atimes. I drove German(Benz) for a while, so it taught me some bad habits.

HeavenlyBang:
Why not get an 08 V6?

ogtavia:
Honestly, if you can advice in terms of maintenance cost/requirements, reliability and how best to purchase it, I will be glad. If it comes with the 2gr-fe engine, then I will be fine.

HeavenlyBang:
The V6 is the 2GR-FE, yes. Very underrated engine. It's rock solid and Toyota still uses it till date. Do basic maintenance and it'll live forever.

ogtavia:
ok bro. I will consider this. I have experience, sweet experience with it in the Toyota Avalon. It's a fantastic engine. As long as the 08 Camry V6 isn't prone to issues like transmission issues and oil shortage experienced in its i4 counterpart, I will surely buy it. Thanks.(please explain if there is any link)

Anything to add, especially on that transmission?

Why not jejely buy the avalon?

ogtavia:
Nice advice but na money kill am.

banky3w:
The avalon is cheaper than the Camry. Make enquiries....

ogtavia:
Avalon of which year are you referring to?

MotorGuru:
If you are considering the inline 4, the 2010 Camry is your best bet. More powerful and much more reliable engine( 2.5L engine as against the 2.4) 6speed automatic compared to the 5 speed of the i4 of the 2009 and below. Better sound insulation.

For the V6 I would recommend 2009-up. To avoid the notable 3-4 shift flares of the 2007 models and also stick acceleration pedals.
