Mikeparlo12:
Acura usually have transmission issue. Crosstaur is an amazing car... BMW and other German cars are usually expensive to maintain. Especially if the components are electrical. Best advice.. Do the Crosstaur

freenature:
With someone like your dad in Consideration, I believe that BMW x5 is best for him, its bold and speaks manly.

Jennycoolz:
Las Las your dad will still go for the one his money can buy

onyechez:
So that you will kidnap him. Lol

Tango123:
Jesus... do u drive at all?

This comment is so wrong. I have owned and driven at least 3 Hondas. I still own one now

slex:
Remove crosstour from that list.

Your dad should be senior citizen age.

BMW

OR ZDX.

He will. Enjoy those 2.

Tango123:
That was old model Hondas

U are referring to ball joint issues. It doesnt happen with recent Hondas

I would advice you go for the BMW x5, preferably diesel. It doesn't break down only if not maintenance issues or you crash it. As a matter of fact that vehicle communicates to the driver in some type way if you understand. Damn that leather the back lights at night. I say no more

RisenPhoenix1:
Forget about cheap. Retirement deserves comfort. Let your dad retire with the BMW. It is also the most durable if you have a qualified mechanic and service promptly. The others are for college students.

symbianDON:
stop this! Toyotas don't breakdown or what? no doubt, toyota makes good cars but that doesn't mean other manufacturers are thrash. FYI honda engines are more resilient than toyota engines so also their suspension. besides, the BMW X5 will stands far and above most Toyotas.

farady:
@OP, the above is the most sensible comment I've read. For a man going into retirement, non of the cars on his list fits.

musa7m:
Stay away from anything Honda

sacajawea:
Did they tell you that money is their Problem?

yusufu16:
That ZDX is a very expensive car too maintain. My boss spent close to N3m to repair and change the dashboard and bumper after I minor accident.

GidisFinest:
I agree, However, considering his Dad is old and looking for a Jeep, If he is not buying a brand new BMW, I will ask him to stick with the other 2.
BMWs can be annoying for people who are not finicky about the state of their cars.

Exumal:
That's how I heard from a driver the absorbers cost #750k per one (I don't know if it's with importation dues) back then in 2015.

lapazi:
These cars are luxury cars, I’m surprised no one is talking abt the BMW. That’s a super car and the rest on your list don’t measure!

So if it’s value for money you want and the prestige that comes with it, go for the BMW.

ZDX is an Acura brand, the luxury arm of Honda. Just as Lexus is to Toyota. Definitely a wayyy better ride than the crosstour, but of course you can’t compare to a German machine!

Crosstour is a failed attempt by Honda to mimic the successful Toyota brand called Venza. A mid-range high performance vehicle that appears to look like an accord made out with a Pilot lol. Trust me the interior is same as that of accord 012 above. If you’ve driven such car before you’ll definitely hate this Crosstour. In short I doubt that it’s still in production. Accord parts fit it well that’s why pple will say it’s parts are cheap.

Summary: if you popcy hold side well o, get the BMW
If your popcy still hold him rep go for ZDX.
Ditch the crosstour idea.

As for those saying Honda dey pull leg, I have used honda from 86 model, halla, bulldog, baby boy, all the versions of accord from 03 to 14. Currently on 14. I have never for once had such experience. It’s just bad drivers with poor maintenance culture that experience such.

duality:
Any car that you can't drive from Lagos to sokoto and back without so much wear, is not a strong car.

All these over expensive cars are not strong.

nettpen:
The crosstour is more economical. BMW & Accura are very expensive to maintain with very few auto repairers that are reliable. Go for the Crosstour.

Depressed101:
have you considered Toyota rav 4
.very cool car

Dukeolumidemans:
If ur dad has cash, he should go for BMW. It's in a class of its own and the parts last a long time just like Mercedes Benz, Volvo and Range Rover. It will never leave u stranded on the road, even if it's faulty.

ZDX and Cross Tour are both nice SUVs but the last of my mention is cheapest to maintain.

Once he buys the BMW, he might never change brand again...trust me.

Lastly he should stick to a good standard mechanic and he will enjoy that ride for years to come..

pretyval:
As a car dealer, I'd advice you get your Dad a Highlander.... But if you want to choose from these options you stated, please go with the BMW.... Contact me on 08137588770 let's talk more.

nams77:
Well if what you are saying is true, then tell your pops man to cancel his list.
.those cars are not for men going into retirement...they are for young folks who can give the necessary attention
Tell him to get the following


lexus Es330, or lexus Es 350.
Plush, luxurious,powerful and reliable. The ES 330 gots a superb ground clearance and will work well with bad roads.

For SuV he should go for the highlander and forerunners.

I am a Benz man myself so I can also squeeze in the E350 sedan. Luxury on wheel

mrprolifik:
You can make a decision after reading this.

ostechno:
My dad used to say "Honda man yawo" in Yoruba
In English it means Honda breaks down alot

KaluwisxPRO:
ZDX Has been discontinued. Crosstour is his best bet as a former user. Cost wise, you will basically be caring for a regular Nigerian car. Parts are also readily available. You get everything from free space inside to a large trunk. Total service station will do just fine with your regular oil changes and wheel works. Never had any engine problems for over 2years usage.

leisuretym:
All those cars you listed up there are not rugged, they can not stand the test of time, I repeat they are only flashy cars..
It is better for you to get a Toyota highlander, even if its an old model , you will enjoy it for many years but those ones you listed up there will be giving you unresolved able problems in the next 2 or 3 years and no good resale value on them compare to any Toyota

DelTel:
The ZDX is beautiful but far expensive to purchase and maintenance cost high as well.
The Crosstour is equally beautiful but not as much as the ZDX.
The BMW is not as beautiful.

Meanwhile, I would advise a Toyota 4runner thou.

jaxxy:
Why not a highlander 2011??


Bt from ur listed options I will say crosstour or Zdx. The price ranges are also different. Zdx being more expensive well depending on the year we are comparing.

Is he bored of toyota suvs?

meetgaya:
I have stayed with Honda Accord for nine years without any issues. what Honda Accord needs is good maintenance and honest mechanic

HisMajesty1:
Of the three, the BMW is the most durable, but it's parts are expensive. BMW on a normal day should not be put in the category of those cars, they are inferior to it.
