nurey: Gracias Boss. You were more than helpful |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Nettuno: 12:02am On Jun 21, 2019 |
nurey: Thanks for your clarifications. Was a bit concerned that it comes across as a cheap SUV. Does it matter if it is Front Wheel Drive or AWD? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 5:24am On Jun 21, 2019 |
Nettuno: It does, front wheel drive has better fuel economy than 4WD 4 wheel drive suspension are heavier and also costlier to replace. |

Could someone please compare in details Toyota Avalon 2006 Limited vs. Lexus ES330 2006. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by kingreign(m): 8:12am On Jun 21, 2019 |
Loujay: It's a different ball game, TOYOTA Avalon should had been a Lexus ES |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:44am On Jun 21, 2019 |
Loujay: I'd take the Avalon, tbh. |

Greats, Kindly advice between Honda EOD 2005 and DC 2005 in terms of fuel economy, durability,resale value etc. Thank you |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 10:31am On Jun 22, 2019 |
MDDarah84: Honda Accord 2003 to 2007 03 to 05 is EOD 06 and 07 is DC difference is exterior upgrade and engine tweaking. It's advice able to buy 05 to 07 as 03 and 04 gear were very unreliable. |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 11:45am On Jun 22, 2019 |
jceesquare: I don't need to lie or cover up for a maker, I tell the truth as it is. Honda and Acura had severe gear reliability in some model line up. The 03 and 04 is well known for its sensitive gear, any palm oil use and replacement is next. 2 Likes |

Please Nurey, heavenlybang & Co. Help me compare these two cars 2006 Lexus ES 330 & 2008 Toyota Camry Le in terms of... 1.) Price 2.) Interior 3.)Speed 4.)Cost of Maintenance 5.Durability I know most Le’s come with fabric interiors, I’m not a fan of fabric interior and 4cylinder cars.. But I think there are some with factory leather and v6. And I intend buying Tokunbo to be precise. Thanks in advance |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 7:37pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
Chepy: price is extremely close I have seen the topmost trim of the ES330 go for 2.1m but I guess the 08 Camry V6 LE with leather should hover around 2.1 to 2.5m depending on source. Interior the ES330 is top here, base to base better audio system, wood finish, Formica better interior materials and more Airbags. The high-end ES330 comes with DVD and navigation screen. speed the Camry V6 tops 3.5L 268hp vs 3.3L 225hp, the Camry will leave the Lexus gasping for air also the Camry V6 has a better fuel economy than the ES though negligible and close. Cost of maintenance the ES wins here since it shares part with 03 to 06 Camry. engine cheaper and more solid compared to the 2AZ 4cylinder, it is also preferred to the 2GR V6 aluminium block. Durability both are durable, Camry is robber and vandals magnet. both will serve you if used as intended. 2 Likes |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 8:39pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
Chepy: As always, Nurey is spot on. That said, I wouldn't buy a 2007-2009 Camry i4. Buy a V6. If you must buy the i4, get the 10/11. ES330 is more luxurious across the board. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by gman55(m): 11:58pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
Please Nurey, heavenlybang & Co. Help me compare these two cars 2008 Toyota Tacoma and 2008 Ford F-150 Truck in terms of... 1.) Price 2.) Durability 3.) Availability of parts and Mechanic 4.)Cost of Maintenance 5.) Second hand value Thanks |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 6:52am On Jun 23, 2019 |
gman55: The Tacoma is expensive to acquire than the Ford due to the Toyota mentality in naija. Both vehicles are durable, there chassis was built specifically for rugged terrain Parts and mechanic know how Boku. The Ford engines are built to last a lifetime whether high mileage or not they don't give up easily Cost of maintenance depends on what engine the vehicle came with. I did say the Ford would be cheaper because the suspension of the Ford platform is knot tight. I have a Navigator so I should know. second hand value Toyota actually has this due to mentality. If fuel economy is your choice and you don't intend to carry much cargo or tow much load the Tacoma is ok the 2.7L i4 is not underpowered and the 1GR V6 is a good Engine but replacement is 1m plus so watch of for its maintenance if you bought a V6. The good thing is it shares platform and parts with 4runner,Lexus GX, Prado, Fj cruiser so you won't be lacking parts for a while. The Ford is a big badass truck known for its reliability and ability as the most popular truck in the world interns of sale and model followership. The 4.2L V6, 4.6L V8 and 5.4L V8 (my favorite) are very solid engines, they don't die easily and are capable of propelling the vehicle and cargo out of any rough terrain. The F150 shares platform and parts with Ford expedition, Lincoln navigator. The parts are available too but can be expensive though it won't be fake or chinco and the parts don't give way easily especially the suspension parts. You should only worry about compressor, alternator etc. I as a person would prefer the Ford product, I have tested it and trust it to deliver but the Tacoma would be appropriate for city driving and it's less bulky for maneuvering and parking. 2 Likes |

The Tacoma is expensive to acquire than the Ford due to the Toyota mentality in naija.Ford F series truck same year as Tacoma is more expensive than Tacoma Both vehicles are durable, there chassis was built specifically for rugged terrain Ford F150, 250,350 raptors haves had issues with damaged and broken chassis. Check auction sites. Parts and mechanic know how Boku. The Ford engines are built to last a lifetime whether high mileage or not they don't give up easily Cost of maintenance depends on what engine the vehicle came with. I did say the Ford would be cheaper because the suspension of the Ford platform is knot tight. I have a Navigator so I should know. They plenty for auction house and I see alot are mechanical issues [color=#006600]second hand value Toyota actually has this due to mentality everywhere, everybody knows Toyota is very reliable and durable. Even in US. If fuel economy is your choice and you don't intend to carry much cargo or tow much load the Tacoma is ok the 2.7L i4 is not underpowered and the 1GR V6 is a good Engine but replacement is 1m plus so watch of for its maintenance if you bought a V6. The good thing is it shares platform and parts with 4runner,Lexus GX, Prado, Fj cruiser so you won't be lacking parts for a while. na old motor you dey use compare. Try newer fords. I as a person would prefer the Ford product, I have tested it and trust it to deliver but the Tacoma would be appropriate for city driving and it's less bulky for maneuvering and parking[/quote] Tacoma is very very much at home with off-road and dirt tracks, it's also not as hard to drive as the ford due to its size and weight. . |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by nurey(m): 8:48am On Jun 23, 2019 |
kingreign: All your complaint are noted. But if you check the ratio of vehicle sold to complaint made, you will see a wide positive margin for the F-series. concerning the chassis and other mechanical issues, it is owner inflicted. A car has its limit and when you try to change law of physics what you get is damaged vehicle and parts. Also the form platform the 11th generation sits on was same as the 1st generation navigator and expedition alot of things were carried over. Remember this platform also shares part with the Ford E series. The parts are interchangeable |
