I have a friend who wanted to get a car for himself.I told him to buy hyundai rather than overhyped toyota,and this is what he said to me.''guy dont even mention that,because toyota model of car the best in maintenance and fuel consumption".Now my question is,why is it that most of we Nigerians prefer toyota to hyundai or any brand of car.

Ur friend has given u d answer; why u still asking; he forgott to addj they re stronge; n more durable; so it is far better

you don carry am go jam rock or drop am from 35,000ft?

its all hyping. there is nothing absolutely different in Toyotas, it just that they are built sooo empty and simple with lesser modern electrical and mechanical technology that those retard Nigerian mechanics and rewire can play kindergarten with at the expense of Good innovative technology u can find in other cars when it comes to engine performance and gadgets. and mind u most cars this days have better fuel economy.

Toyotas are built to last much more than Hyundais. They are a little over-priced, yes, but you have much less failures. The price of 2007 Rav4 full option will get you a Kia Sorento 2011 fully loaded. But when the parts start falling off, and electricals malfunction, you will understand. A colleague drives a brand new ix35, and after four years, he has the phone number of most of Hyundai techs at Gbagada.

I have taken time to personally compare Toyota to many other brands that are 15 years or more. My finding is that they are more durable, compared to other Japs/Koreans. Older European cars (15 to 20 years hold together), but newer ones send their owners to the mechanic workshop more often. Compare engine, transmission, AC, body work/paint, finishing, etc. The 'brand new' in Nigeria are even worse!

Are Toyotas bland? Oh yes! But, I have seen more Bleep to Toyota switches by users than the other way. The resale value is also higher than any other brand. A friend has been trying to sell his Isuzu for months, and nobody has even priced it.

Toyota does not use the very latest technological innovation, because it has not been tested and proven. They wait out the teething period, and that works for me too.

It's the rubbish Hyundai's brought into the country by Indian dealers.
In north America, the Hyundai being sold here are excellent and after years of use, parts are still intact. The ix35 popularly called the Tucson in north america is one of the highest selling, if not the highest selling compact SUV in north america.

The Toyota's sold my elizade and co(popularly called bank model) in Nigeria are piece of junks. The parts start falling off within 2years and some just come with only one airbag.

The 09 elantra was given "seal of awesome".
note: that's for American specs. for naija specs, na Oyo ooo.
Echo and accent are in the same class while corolla and elantra are in the same class.

Please i will really appreciate your candid advice, i have a budget of 300-400k to get a car, i saw one hyundai elentra 2000 and the person claims working perfect without any issue. But i want to be sure if it is a good car or not. please your candid advice on your take generally on hyundai cars and this particular brand. Thanks
