[EQAddict]

Lexus is reknowned for their reliability. 1 service per year lang here in the Phils.

Any lexus or benz owners here? My friend is considering the lexus NX300 and benz cla 180 and I just wanna hear your thoughts about those cars in terms of reliability, performance, value for money and maintenance cost. Thanks all! ��

german cars have the allure...

but lexus and toyota will remain the benchmark of reliability.



7 out of the 10 most reliable is from toyota//lexus

Every euro owner has the same story. Ridiculously higher service frequency & cost. Accelerated depreciation. Unless they're precious classics/collectibles like 964s, E30Ms, or one is a tinkerer/enthusiast, I'd look nippon's way.

I would say it would depend on which you are after. If you are leaning towards affordable luxury with performance, then I would say that the Lexus IS350 is a good choice.

If budget is not a problem and you want to spoil yourself with luxury and supercar performance in a 4-door saloon, then go get yourself a BMW M5 or Merc E63S or Audi RS6/RS7.

There are a lot of Euro car specialists available ... Lexus not so much ... Don't even know where to buy parts for a Lexus aside from the dealer ... But for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz there are a lot of sellers ...

The Lexus NX and Mercedes Benz CLA series are different categories ... Maybe you mean the GLA ...

[zechs]

If your friend needs a bigger car, then lexus nx. But I would get the hybrid. Konti lang difference compared to the F sport model.

Kung CLA, I would get the CLA 45 AMG kung kaya.

Audi Q2/Q3 okay din.

[minicarph]

the only euro car I would buy is the LR90 two door edition. kahit alam kung sirain, bibile ako if I get a good deal.



other Euro cars, no thanks kahit ganu pa ka sikat yan Yes even if a Ferrari or Lambhorgini, pag nanalo ako nyan bebenta ko kagad.

asar ako sa Italian men eh, dati meron sa gym nag-flirt sa wife ko, kung anu-ano pa kadramahan kaartehan, ultimo bagsak ng ulan sa tricycle parang tinutula.

wife ko naman parang tuwang -tuwa. minsan naman nasa Venice kami, dun sa ferry may tumabi sa kanya Italian parang nilalandi sya, tapos yun pala yun anak saka asawa niya andun nakaupo

tanong ko nga sa wife ko, eh bakit naka-tricycle sya, eh kasi daw mahirap lang daw sila sa Italy pero dito parang celebrity sya, nanay ata nya pinoy. so sabi ko o cge sa kanya kana. nagalit wife ko, eh kasi nun ma ka gym ako na super ***y and super smart. my wife think im infatuated with her. well, in a away kasi minsan ang sarap din may kausap na smart woman, lalo na beauty and brains pa. wife ko kasi puros kaartehan ang gusto. tinutuya ko pa nga ok naman sa tricycle sumakay basta hunk diba, wala di nya siguro ako matitiis eh sa gym 3 times a week kami pumunta, 3 different cars din gamit ko tapos mahumaling sya sa mga phony Italians na yan.

why did I see say phony? ive been to Italy, grabe super tamad mga yan, siesta ng siesta, reklamador pa tapos lagi tambay puro people watching.

im quite surprised why the Ferrari and the Lambhorghini are still here considering their inventor masters are only for show.

but dont get me wrong, I loved anything Roman or Rome lalo na nung greatest years nila pero eto descendants nila, nakupo never ako ako bibile ng kahit ano naything from Europe, pati yan Vespa na yan. no thanks

why buy a car known to be sira-in?

eh kasi di ko naman gagamitin sa purpose nya, eh fo forshow ko lang hanggang sa time na ibenta ko sya, kasi grabe ang appreciation ng car neto. by just owning one, and showing it to some friends or clients, pede ka na din maka close ng business deals. somewhat similar to why most poltiicans and PNP men wear Rolex hihi

Hmmm...been Indian for a decade now, just as MG is now a Chinese reincarnate.[emoji14]

heh heh.

ganito kasi yan doc, tayo and maybe some other countries like Japan, thailand, latin america, we are all amercanized. hence, the 4x4 vehicles na matunog sa tin na galing america eh gawa ng Ford or Jeep or even yun Hummer

but there's another world out there, and these are the former British colonies like parts of Africa and the Middle East.

if say a Jeep Wrangler owner sells his car here sa American side of things, walang dating eh kasi we normally see it everyday. but try to show them and Land Rover Defender and suddenly iba ang image diba. pero sa mga Africa, south africa middle east baka tingen lang nila sa Land Rover Defender eh Innova , kasi sobra dami duon.

kaya the Land Rover Defender will always have appreciated value in our side of the world, the American side. coz it's rare and it's always used in Commando movies or Indiana jones like movie to some exotic lands. take note doc, exotic hihi

MBNA or Mercedes Benz North America suffered sales loss when Lexus immigrated to the U.S. it was so bad that Chrysler bought MBNA and it became Daimler Chrysler. When it became part of Chrysler, it's not a purebred anymore. The starting system and the charging system used Nippon Denso, a Toyota company. You can say that Daimler Chrysler is still high hat but part of it is JAPANESE.

perhaps carpy knows, because he is counting on their numbers for his income.

Mahirap ba talaga i-operate ang touchpad ng Lexus? When I read online reviews they usually rave about the comfort and quality but rant about the infotainment controls.

We are eyeing a Q3 as our first Euro. Medyo matagal pa yon though. Have to make our two scholars graduate from college first. Baka by that time puro EV na

The current HU of Lexus has a weird mouse-like toggle that operates a cursor on the screen, and yes it's really a pain to use. I had a hard time using it when the car was on a standstill and it was near impossible to use when moving.

It also has a knob (like Mazda's and BMW's) so at least that's useable.

They split up already more than a decade ago ...
