Depends on what you want. The C300 drives better, but the ES will generally be cheaper to own, bar any transmission shenanigans.

I'd personally go with the C350.

Read my other comments on the matter.

It's the exact same engine that Toyota uses on cars like the Camry and Venza, cars that don't require premium. The exact same engine.

Lexus just recommends premium because premium fuel is typically recommended by premium brands.

Same way Acura recommends premium on the TSX and FWD TL with a J35, but don't on the Accord and Crosstour, even though they all use the same engine.

Pardon me boss, I’m a noob.
Does this mean the normal petrol bought in Filling stations will work perfectly for TSX 2009?

The car will retarrd timing to match the octane rating of the fuel.

if you are not buying the Highlander for the 3rd row seat and the cargo space maybe you should focus on the RAV4 instead

but I believe the Highlander should do 13 to 15L per 100km in city driving if still in good condition

Thanks. I am a man o. Isn't RAV4 for women?
In any case, u must be talking about the RAV4 with 4 cylinder engine. Am I right sir?

Is RAV4 now a skirt grin, RAV4 whether 4cylinder or V6 is a good buy for man or woman. But 4 cylinder more efficient than the V6

Hello friends,

Trust we are all staying safe.

I am interested in getting a car soon and after so much research, I narrowed my options to two Sedan vehicles of the same year - The Honda Accord 2008 (Evil Spirit) and Toyota Camry 2008 (Muscle) model.

However, I am biased for one compared to the second.

Based on my readings, I realised Honda is a flashy car, have one of the best aesthetics with her interiors, it runs pretty fast and has a good engine. However, the Camry is not as fast, less aesthetics with her interior but is reliable.

I also got to know that both cars are fuel efficient and have a low build compared to the Big Daddy Camry. While there are many other differences and similarities, I am interested in what the Nigerian users of these two cars have to say.

@Honda Accord users: What have been your experiences using this car? Is the car worth the money? How often do you visit the mechanic? What are the pros and cons of getting the car?

@Toyota Camry users: This car is costlier than the Accord. Is it worth paying the extra penny? What is its performance level? Is it durable? What are the pros and cons of both cars?

@all: I am a first time car user and would want to go for a very good car that can commute me in and around Lagos and maybe outside Lagos once in a while.

NB: If there is a similar thread on this, kindly share so that I can also read through. Most of my research are foreign based, I need a platform where I can hear what Nigerians have to say about these two cars.

I will appreciate your comments.

The vehicle in question is a Philippines model S or S-L which is supposed to be equipped with 5 speed auto and paddle shifters
