I am more disappointed at your comment than all the Honda critique's before you.

It is only a woman who was a virgin on her wedding day that will insist her husband has the biggest prick.

Her crime is ignorance.

Tell your dad to get a 4runner 2010. He will enjoy his retirement stress-free.

BMW X5. Strongest car I've ever used. Withstood a very terrible accident and couldn't be used again. Its parts are cheap (compared to X6 and X7). Buy foreign used and not Nigerian used for best experience. ciao

eagleonearth:
ZDX is a no no. Maintenance is something else as the spare parts are extremely costly. X5 is just another German machine. I can't really give an accurate detail about fuel consumption and all but it's sure not a favourite. Crosstour is the best choice among the three as fuel consumption and maintenance is pocket friendly. Also when placed side by side, it's the cheapest.

Summary is your Dad deserves more than spending his sweat on what will quickly drain his pocket and take his time in terms of maintenance. If you're in Lagos I can get you a clean tokunbo crosstour.

Sorry bro. I never said u are fraudulent. Not at all. If anything in what i said suggests that, i am sorry

I was only sayimg that sellers woild advertise what they have. That is not to say that what they are advertising is bad or fraudulent. Not at all

As u said, the op no be children. Op should make ur his or her mind

friendl:
You better just quietly buy the cross tour ,....

NkanAkpanika:
Go for ZDX and correctly driving that bitch.. Its parts are available and it's shares every thing with Honda pilot

miketayo:
All cars are feminine, y not highlander or any honda SUV

Saig:
for maintenance purpose, you may go for Honda but Honda is for women. As a man I can't just carry my money to buy Honda...too womanish

ak22:
Don't mind them . I saw one Benz today that pull leg

femarse:
so the OP was here for advice on 3 different cars
the OP mention that the only experience the pop man got is on Toyota
so it's clear the pop man in his heold age want to taste something flashy and different from a Toyota


what did Toyota fans did ?

they all advice OP pop man to go back and buy Toyota ...as in the OP pop man must drive Toyota till death do him and life apart

why is stupidity not far from Toyota fans ? with the way they all condemn Honda
you will think you can't see Toyota in mechanic workshop.....but go take a look , they constitutes 75% of cars in mechanic workshop, don't argue , just go to any workshop, snap it comprehensively in one shoot , let's do the car comparison there

unmask:
if your dad is retired let him enjoy the latter part of his life. Get a BMW. I use one and I can tell you that he won't have a better driving experience. And yes I have driven the others. As long as he keeps to the maintenance regime, the BMW is what he should get

Tillatalk:
This post is not for me let me move on

I will never be broke in my life

grandee4u:
These 3 SUV are amazing but if I'm to recommend, I'll advise you go for the Honda Crosstour. This is because

*It's the most fuel efficient car amongst all three of em

*It's body and engine parts/components are easy to find, less expensive and it's an easy car to maintain, amongst other reasons.

Nevertheless, if you're someone that just needs a car undermining it maintenance cost or any other related cost...you actually need the bmw X5. The X5 isn't a fuel efficient car but it's a high performance car and high performance in a car is accompanied with a tougher/stiffer suspension, multiple driving modes, a possible RWD 4WD or AWD systems, superb traction control, four wheel braking system and also increased safety features.
Note: BMW parts with it's engine main and peripheral components aren't too scarce though but it isn't like the Honda parts that can be found in almost all spareparts market, showroom or store. So the choice is yours between high fuel efficiency, low maintenance cost Vs low fuel efficiency(because the X5 is an all wheel drive car AWD), high performance engine and extra safety.

zivility:
If he really wants the BMW he should go for the rwd only model with the non turbo charged engine! That's how he can enjoy the bmw. Also the issue with BMW is over heating due to plastic parts breaking in the cooling system. Google YouTube for BMW maitainance advice

nams77:
Thanks bro. The old man wan give himself bp and unnecessary attention, that is, if op is saying the truth.

What's the difference between ZDX and Crosstour? They have the same parent company.
It is like comparing Lexus vs Toyota. If I were to advise him, I'd suggest Lexus/Toyota.

A retiree shouldn't touch BMW X5 especially the 4.8L or 4.4L engines. He shouldn't waste his retirement funds on expensive car repairs.

Roynuell:
They are all good cars.
What you should consider is the maintenance cost for each of them. The X5 is more expensive to maintain but it is also the most durable car on the list. ZDX is also a nice car but no second hand value and its cousin the cross tour is just below par...cos u are comparing it with the ZDX & X5.


But I will advice u go for a highlander. Easy to maintain, slightly cheaper parts and very very reliable.

One more thing, what model year are u looking at for any of them. Cos an old X5 is mos def a no no.

Wettoid123:
Honda cosstour is a write off in short I hate it more when I saw one yesterday the tire just pulled from the joint suddenly it was on motion all Honda cars have that problem,,acura zdx is a write off too is the senior brother of Honda the parts are expensive even if them tell u the price of its gearbox you go hail, pls just go for that BMW my staff use the same series it is more durable than the rest cars.

Womanizer:
If your dad is really retired then he should be concerned with getting a car that is relatively cheap to maintain

Unified07:
I'm surprise no one is talking about BMWX5 that car is reliable

yashika:
You guys are very funny. I don’t know why people run away from very durable and luxury car and still affordable when it comes to fuel consumption and general maintenance. I have been using BMW X5 For more than 6 years, I have a sedan too, I don’t think I will use any other vehicle except a BMMER. Once you drive a BMMER you will never go back, to Japanese instead another German machine.

muymacho:
Listen to this wise man, e get why...
But if you must choose from the the list then BMW x5 it is. Repair may be expensive but they are far in between.

osazsky:
Pls nobody is taking of price range i am getting one for my wife by april..does anyone know d cost of crosstour.average price

Pharaoh4rin:
X5 BMW. You can spend a year or two without visiting a mechanic. People fear BMW from distance but the car is premium interns of durability.

mdchikezie:
who has time to waste with you
so your brain could not decode the [color=#000000]ALMOST[/color] i wrote there

zudozz:
I believe u are insulting the BMW X5 with this comparison!

ChristineC:
without mincing words, tell him to reconsider his options.
DON'T BUY ANY OF THESE VEHICLES if he's resident in Nigeria... for his own sanity.

otherwise
1. BMW x5
2. ZDX
3. the big ass Honda Accord

necktah:
And all you talking about Honda's axle n tires i been using a Honda fr the past 10 years n nothing like that has happened, go and learn how to maintain a car, no be only on n drive... service it more often
