The difference depends majorly on what particular vehicle you are talking about. Most vehicles are same thing in specs but some particular models of vehicles are different

You are really funny indeed. The comparison is between a Lexus ES330 and 2008 Honda Accord. I already have idea of Engine prices and the Honda Engines are expensive than a 3MZ.


Kindly advice. Which would you advice a first time car user between 2006 and above toks Honda civic, City, and Toyota corrola. Or any other car you feel should be OK.
In terms of Realiablity, comfort, and affordability

Budget is 1.5 to 1.8

Fuel consumption: IS>ES>GS
Resale value: GS>IS>ES
Comfort:GS>ES>IS
Driving experience: GS>IS>ES

Parts availability may be an issue in certain parts of the country. Pretty sure it shares parts with the 4Runner? Doesn't need octane boosters AFAIK.

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by BLAIDE: 6:14pm On Sep 15, 2019
I don't like the seat of the IS. And its interior is cramped.
My choice would be the GS, but I hear the engine is expensive
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by lexini: 7:00pm On Sep 15, 2019
Thanks

How much is the engine and gear for the gs?

for the Benz second generation ML350 to be precise, it uses a stick knob like the good old wiper stick, it already designated with instructions on the stick you tap up, down, forward to the corresponding gear you want.

The BMW uses a tap stick just switch it to the desired gear stance by taping backwards or forward and it electronically works

I think Range Rover uses knob instead, you just rotate to the corresponding gear indicator.

There is no much big deal, they just made the gears more electronically inclined and beautify the whole thing, it's more about aesthetics on car design now same way cameras are beginning to replace side view mirrors.

@ nurey, heavenlybang, Kingreign; kindly advice on the preferred choice of car:


First time car owner (with relatively good maintenance culture).

Am looking at; Honda civic 2006 (concerns: low ground clearance), Toyota Corolla 2003/04 (concerns: too common and thief magnet issue), Camry 2003 (concerns: body ages badly)

For above mentioned car concerns and choice, am not 100% fixated. Am open to expert advise (any car brand in similar capacity as above is also welcome) with reference majorly to the Nigeria bad roads.

Thanks.

@ nurey, heavenlybang, Kingreign; kindly advice on the preferred choice of car:

Am looking at a of budget of 1.7m

First time car owner (with relatively good maintenance culture).

Preferred a CUV/SUV with 4 cylinder (due to fuel concerns) but i think my budget cannot get a toks except maybe a CR-V 2004 (but interior is kind of boring and old IMHO). You can advise if any other within the budget.

Daily roads plying between Abule-Egba and Sango axis ( pls consider the kind of heavy pot holes on the roads nowadays)

Monthly roads plying (like twice in a month max) due to visits is around Agbado Crossing - Ijoko - Gas line axis ( one of the worst road in Nigeria)
