Hi guys can someone help me decide here . I’m torn between the three cars which are the Lexus is250 , Mazda 6 25z and the Nissan skyline gt250. All the three are the year 2010 and have a 2.5litre engine . The car will be my daily runner in Auckland . Which one offers good fuel economy , comfort and is reliable .

Hi there,
These are all popular choices. I have heard that there could be some potentially expensive transmission repairs for these Nissans if anything goes wrong, however I recommend speaking to a transmission specialist to see if they know what to look out for.
The Mazda and Lexus seem to be reliable, with Lexus being a Luxury Toyota. The best advice is to make sure you have the vehicle inspected to ensure the vehicle you are looking at is in the best condition for its age. Generally after 11 years, a vehicle has had its most useful and trouble free life- so you could start to see extra unplanned maintenance/repairs moving forward.
