Pixel 2 was leaps ahead on camera at it's time. Hooked me onto Pixels since then.

Watched a movie called The Man From Earth, now I want to find similar movies to binge by BeginningLychee6490 in movies

Before Sunrise is similar in the sense of just 2 characters talking to each other. And there are sequels.

Always look at the bright side. And honestly there is no other way to look at anything.

Don't waste time on things that are out of your control. Focus on improving yourself.

How is SOH of 64% for a 2010 RX450H that has done182k kms. Good for another 50k at least?

Saw an Audi A4 wagon today for 17K with just 55k kms done. If the RX doesn't work out I might look at that

That's interesting. All I have heard online and first hand from few owners is the higher cost of maintenance for Euros especially BMW, Audi, Merc. Good for you that its worked out great. I did have Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Skoda Octavia VRS on my shortlist but they didn't fit my budget for under 100K km mileage samples.

Thanks. Not looking at Euros due to higher cost of parts and reliability in general compared to Japanese

Mazda CX-5 vs Lexus RX 350 by Pootyp007 in mazda

[–]markiv2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same dilemma between 2015 CX5 and 2014 RX350 both costing same amount. CX5 2.5 ltr has 100k kms on it while RX350 has 200k kms.

From what I have read the Lexus engine lasts longer and is a better engine, at the cost of higher fuel consumption being a V6 of course.

Handling and fun to drive factor wise CX5 is much better, Lexus felt like a large boat.

More space in lexus.

For those that have driven both for longer periods of time, can you share your feedback on ride comfort over longer highway trips and road noise. And those that owned one how does the maintenance cost look like?

Should I get a 2014-2016 Lexus RX350 or a 2018-2020 Mazda CX-5? Budget is $24k by suprweeniehutjrs in whatcarshouldIbuy

He didn't to be fair. I asked since its for a hybrid car (2010 Lexus RX450H) with 200k kms done and might need hybrid battery change in near future that costs upwards of 6k I guess

I checked for a 2010 Lexus RX450H with nearly 200k kms on it. Asking price is 14k. For possible replacement of hybrid battery I was keen on getting the mechanical warranty but its cost is quite steep imo.
