standupguy:Nissan when it comes to design is one of the biggest risk takers and it is paying of lately. They are now selling more cars in the US than Honda. |

If you still doubt whether Toyota is the best, try Toyota Venza and Toyota Highlander. You will testify that the Lord is good. 3 Likes |

gememerald:Landcruiser is very good off road. The f series with solid front axle is still being assembled in south america and will match any wrangler off road. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by coalcoal1(m): 10:21pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
standupguy: I disagree with you on this one. there are certain flaws that are prevalent with this model. two of the obvious are the shock absorbers and poor headlights which you notice over time. apart from these, the car is good in other aspects |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by gememerald(m): 10:46pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
nativedoctor: Jeep Wrangler is the No. 1 off the road vehicle for now...nothing can match it...you're talking about front axle, what about clearance...please just try and look out for jeep wrangler hardcore edition, you should like it. When did toyota start producing off the road. Have you heard of jeep wrangler rubicon? Heard of pilot? Unlimited? Hmm... Go and make your findings very well. |

i recently started hearing grinding noise recently from the front left tire side everytime i match the brake i got home and removed the tire and i compared the brake disk to the one at the rear and it is obvious there are marks on the frontal so i stuck my head in the tire compartment to look at what was grinding but it looked like it is beyond me. so i googled it, it led me to a sienna forum where they explained what is may be the cause and what to do So i headed straight to Ladipo, got the brake pad and a new disk when i got to ladipo, i just asked them for it like a pro and trust, i got a good disk and a thick pad i also bought a 14mm and 16mm socket to loosen things up I successfully replaced the pads in less than 5 mins, for both sides cos chances are, the other one is close to wearing out too I really dont know if the ease of fixing is unique to toyotas but it was just plain easy. I also got to know how brakes actually work and those silly nollywood directors who direct scenes where someone dies because one bad guy removed the brake pad should better ask for forgiveness. 2 Likes |

Toyota still the best for Nigeria road users & it's rugged. I use tiny light and let's leave sentiment, I can't stop loving my baby. They are made for Nigeria economy, most official cars and jeeps are Toyota for majority of the companies in this country. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by lezz(m): 11:15pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
abatically:Camry tiny light is cheaper than Camry orobo from factory. Everyone knows Nigeria sells tokumbo cars for almost the price of new!!! |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by sonnie10: 11:16pm On Feb 27, 2015 |
coalcoal1: Majority of the tinylight camrys shipped to Nigeria had their headlights and most times shock absorbers replaced with cheap after market parts. That is why they do not last long. The original Toyota OEM headlights and shocks are flawless. |

Sunbellar:lol, bro, of all the cars in the world Toyota isn't even amongst top 15.market sales they are no. 1 But Market sales volume isn't a reflection of quality. In driving experience, Road feel, Handling luxury, Safety, Speed, braking And comfort, Toyota is still a learner. 1 Like |

drlawizle: For instance, Shock absorber, The shock absorber on a benz would definitely last longer than that on a toyota. This is durability which can also be justified by the difference in prize. An example of reliability is me being able to drive my Toyota Camry from Lekki to Surulere by 1:00am without fan belt(Cut). Reliability is being able to drive from Ajah to Isolo after losing the functionality of a radiator fan. Reliability is when your valves remain intact after loosing a timing belt. Reliability is when i can pass through murky waters that affect mini Suvs peacefully without fear of my car stopping half way. That my brother is reliability you can't try those on a benz or any european car. Buy a reliable car today, BUY TOYOTA. 3 Likes |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by standupguy(m): 12:09am On Feb 28, 2015 |
coalcoal1: Right on Both Counts. Can't blame them on the shock absorber, they probably didnt have our death trap in mind while make there vehicles, The headlight was the major upgrade in the 2000-2001 model. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by standupguy(m): 12:17am On Feb 28, 2015 |
lezz: Ogbeni Na reliability we dey talk about ni. And you just indicted yourself, complexity leads to unreliability...Fact. Almost all luxury car brands are highly unreliable Mercedes included with there S-Class leading the pack. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by lezz(m): 12:21am On Feb 28, 2015 |
standupguy:wrong, S class are the most reliable in the Mercedes brand, it's a president's car. In all the developed first world countries , no car lover buys a japanes car......FACT. TOYOATA is cheap, soulless, and for the average 2 Likes |

Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by musicwriter(m): 12:23am On Feb 28, 2015 |
Yes, Toyota cars is very durable and they have good second value in case you want to re-sell it. Bought 4runner (1998) model at Cotonou for about N1.5 million, used it for 3 years and still sold it for N750k. Again, bought the 2008 model around N3.8 million, used it for a year and few months and still sold it for N2.5 million. Sold them the same day I put it for sale!. For other cars like ford, Mitsubishi I sold second hand, nothing came out of it. If you want to buy a car buy Toyota, you wouldn't regret it. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by lezz(m): 12:25am On Feb 28, 2015 |
standupguy:ok, sorry if I detailed |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by standupguy(m): 12:28am On Feb 28, 2015 |
lezz: You are really deviating from our decision here brother.. I will take a Honda design over a Toyota any day, but i hate Honda with all life. Brother take if from me 1999-2006 S-Class was highly Problematic, Highly!!!!!!!!!!!! I am talking from experience. if we are talking about Luxury, drive experience, acceleration, then toyota no dey there now. Toyota's luxury edition Lexus don't compete with world leading luxury cars not to talk of toyota. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by lezz(m): 12:43am On Feb 28, 2015 |
standupguy:ok, my bad. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by Blackkie: 1:01am On Feb 28, 2015 |
Toyota model can use same parts. Eg Camry, Highlander and Sienna uses the same engine. |
Re: Reasons Why Toyota Cars Dominate In Nigeria by Nobody: 1:05am On Feb 28, 2015 |
lomomike:I am not concerned bout the biggest auto maker in the world. I was only talking about a point raised by someone on why Toyotas dominated the Nigerian market because it's the most popular automobile in the US instead of laws of demand and supply..don't just jump into an argument mid way if you are not sure about what is being discussed... get it. |
