Pardon my naive assumptions, I have observed Benz C and E class models of 2001- 2009 are relatively cheaper than their Toyota and Lexus contemporaries viz Camry, ES,GS, Avalon, etc

W204 is 2008-12 C class and W211 is 2003-2009 E klasse.

I think the saloon and Wagon ended in 2014 while the Coupe ended in 2015 for the W204 chassis.

Based on the current state of the Nigerian roads, is the Lexus RX350 F-sport an ideal option to suit our luxury and reliability needs?

So I am trying to get a car as a beginner , and I don't know how to drive , and my budget is low, now am Targeting Honda . Honda civic 2007 , since I can't afford even 2003 corolla, but alot of people keep saying as a beginner I should avoid all honda that it's difficult to stir,/turn/ and it usually have tire/suspension issue and it doesn't have good ground clearance,

My question is ,, is this problem for all honda or just old ones , doesn't it mean der is no good honda for a beginner , pls I need ur help , my engrs and experts

Buy Honda Civic, you will Enjoy it. Am using same 07 the only issue there is that it has low grand clearance and you will buy 17 rim

That's a K24A8 vs 1MZFE vvti. Reliability both a almost equal, very close. They can both go 200miles with good maintenance

Maintenance would be cheaper for the CRV, both interms of cost and availability.

durability depends on how you use them.

RX is geared more in luxury division while the crv would excel in fuel economy and a bit of luxury with the EX trim
