RX350 for both.

What MDX is better at is how it drives. I also feel the MDX's interior is a bit more solid.

Not sure what you mean. I've been in both cars and that's my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

RX imo is more plush and better interior wise
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by awele186: 6:59pm On Apr 13, 2020
Please can i get more inputs

The 2010 E350 is better than the 2012 Camry may be a newer Car but the finishing of the 2010 ES350 is top notch.
let me call the Gurus to come explain better

Will your choice change if its 2009 rx350 (same body with 330)?

Also, is there any particular issue common with the mdx?

I would pick the Rx350 over mdx 1. Higher in the reliability chart than any cuv 2. Exterior design i prefer the rx here 3. Fuel economy the rx tops 4. Ease of use and maintenance rx tops

Sometimes what others think doesnt matter pick the one your mind really admires, maintenance is key to enjoying either of them.
My choice would change if the mdx is cheaper to acquire and i have a large family as the mdx allows 7seating

RX is more smoother, more comfy, feels more plush, the MDX is more sporty, more tech inclined and more engaging.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by lexini: 11:10pm On Apr 13, 2020
thanks Nurey, as always

my concern is that, my wife has an es 350 right now and i feel if i get the rx, i'd eventually get bored of the brand - as per driving same brand everyday. the mdx is the only vehicle that comes close in terms of size and luxury - that's why i'm considering it.

i don't want to depart from toyota/honda

Hi Gurus,

Please, I'll like to have your analytic comparison of Toyota Avalon XL and Lexus ES/IS 250 series, both 2006-2010 models base on;
LUXURY
PERFORMANCE
FUEL CONSUMPTION
DURABILITY
PASSENGER SPACE
DESIGN
AND SPEED
- If there has been any common or reoccurring users complaints with any model of the two, I'll like to know too.

Also, I have this love feeling for PONTIAC cars. I know it has been discontinued, with the last model being 2009/2010. The Grand prix, G3 and even Beneville seems to catch my fancy. I'll appreciate your expert opinion on this car brand, cons and pros as it relates to it being used in Nigeria.

I anticipate your submissions,
Thank you.

Nurey please help out here

The avalon to me is a car you should be driven in not a car u should be driving. But in all the avalon and es350 share engine and transmission in terms of part cost i believe d es is a bit cheaper considering it shares part with camry.

The Is250 engine is 100k cheapest among all but shares part with GS which part is expensive than es.

As for the pontiac you are on your own

baba, honestly eh, that volvo xc60 has been on my mind for a long time now but i no get the mind. my friend is on his third xc90 and has sworn that he will never drive another brand

really, how is the xc60, 2010 model in terms of availability and cost of parts, reliability (especially for long distance travels), durability and everyday driving

Save your money. This isn't a good time to buy cars, a global recession is coming.
I really am not sure but at the end of the recession, with the rise of foreign currencies, naira will fall but the car bought with the 400k might either retain it's value or even rise.
So I will say, buy a valuable property now, or convert the money to dollars

The mdx is bigger than the rx. It seats 7 people and still has ample boot space even the third row seat up.
I prefer the interior of the mdx. It's better laid out.
If you have a big family, the mdx might suit you better. If you have a small family and don't haul a lot while travelling, I suggest you go for the rx. The rx is also cheaper to maintain as you don't have to change water pump, timing belt, tensioner and all other associated costs involved with the mdx when the timing belt is due. Also you won't get the timing belt surprise when least expected.

Shares part with 07 freelander, s60, s80,xc70, v70 etc. Some parts may be hard to get locally. But volvo is a fairly good buy
