[quote author=George_D link=topic=542673.msg7070944#msg7070944 date=1288792809]viper,
besides all the bells and whistles of the acura, how durable is it compared to a toyota? just curious.[/quote]Durability in my opinion and from my years of car sales experience is in two folds:

1. DURABILITY: to be used after years without need for replacement.
2. DURABILITY: to be used after years and still look beautiful in the eyes of on-lookers.

For point No.1, i give it to toyota, you could use the toyota for a longer period than the honda, because, they focus FULLY on durability. This same reason makes their cars ugly once a little dent appears on it. Look around at dented toyota cars e.g. 2009 camry, rav4s, avensis etc
Once a toyota suffers a dent or scratch, it looses its beauty.

As for point No.2, the HONDA/ACURA wins the day hands down. I see a lot of used, scratched and dented honda accords(end of discussions); even some on sale here on nairaland, and you still see people jostling to buy them for as high as 1.4M-1.5M(same price i can give you a tokunbo 2003/04 camry). Why?, because, even when the honda/acura car has been over-used and over-stretched, IT STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL in the eyes of the on-looker.

So if i'm buying a car to intentionally climg forests and rocks, i would go for a nissan xterra or pathfinder, or toyota highlander, definitely not the acura MDX. However, for your everyday lagos bumpy roads, the Acura MDX or Honda Pilot can stand head to head with the rugged SUVs and still hold its own.

Hi Merryplus,

Sorry i'm just responding this late. Yes, i have metallic colors.

if you have any of the following cars:

2005 toyota camry

2009-2010 Honda pilot(4wd), must be BLACK COLOR

kindly call me on 08068097693 or email: [email]sales@viperautos.com[/email]

LRNZH:
If you're comfy enuff to mention theses SUVs then the FX35 is most reasonable as its more durable, more luxurious, better performance but more expensive than the Murano.

Range Rover is for MEN! Go figure.

Btw guys
Between a Landrover LR2 and an Acura MDX (both 2008 models) which would you recommend generally for use in Naija?

Don't even go near the LR2 except you own a petrol filling station, and have money for expensive parts.

Now, talking "both 2008 models", I guess you mean LR3 and not LR2.
LR3, Is more prestigious than the Acura - cuz its more expensive, but the acura is prettier to ANYONE's eye, and easier to maintain than the LR3.
Also, you can't step into ANY acura car and have something negative to say, When it comes to fantastic interior excellence - its the ACURA.

Warning: Never test drive an acura if that's not what you had in mind to buy initially, cuz if you do, you'd most likely get carried away and end up buying it.
, just take a look at these dashboards for olorun's sake

Just like GNBohr has succintly posted, there are several factors that every buyer should tick-off before buying a car.

As for your target cars above, the one with the cheapest parts and maintenance among the lot is the MURANO, closely followed by the FX35.
To avoid the stress of bad gear oil effects, keep away from the 2002/2003 models.

Now, narrowing down to the two above, I'd confidently tell you(Since i've driven both a couple of times) both are quite different despite being from the same maker, however it depends on what you are looking for exactly.

I'd rate the them like this:


[list]
[li]Performance - FX35, without question. Looking at the FX, its obvious it shares no major design with the Murano; Murano is a 240 hp FWD built on Nissan's Altima platform, the FX on the other-hand is a 280/320HP RWD/AWD built on Nissan's 350Z/G35 platform.
It out performs the murano.
[/li]


[li]Interior Comfort - Murano (not that the FX is uncomfortable, but the seats are very tight, reminds me of a Corvette) [/li]

[li]Ride - FX35 (BUT again here depends on what you want. The FX isn't your regular slow-pick-up SUVSUV. It's very sporty car and obviously rides like one, coupled with the fact that its more spread on the floor giving it more balance on top speed)[/li]

[li]Features - Would have to give it a tie here. Most of the useful features are now available in both cars from 2007 models: Nav, bluetooth, Reverse Cam, etc. However, if you're looking at models between the 2003 and 2006, then again, the FX35 takes the cake! [/li]

[li]Sound System - FX35(hands down)[/li]

[li]Exterior Looks - FX35 (my opinion)[/li]

[li]Price - Murano[/li]

[/list]

In summary, if the price is the problem, go for the murano, else if you can afford it and still want something that can be easier maintained - go for the FX35.
ARMADA, is actually a big useless car, in my opinion, though some people like it.

As for the DON of them all - RANGE-ROVER, You only touch a RANGE/BENZ jeep when you become a MAN!  





However, should ou decide to go for the toyota's or honda's, hit me up on my website and i'd give you a more detailed and insightful comparisons of major toyota and honda jeeps you should consider, also, check there for some on sale.
