I am so happy Toyota isn't there...I so much love my 2008 muzzle...the only thing with it is changing your oil when the maintainable required light comes on...hehe hehe. ..

Do people get paid to lie on Nairaland threads?

OP, what of:

(1) Nissan Quest
(2) Nissan Murano
(3) Land Rover Freelander
(4) Mazda 626 Coupe.
(5) Audi 80 Wagon?

Mazda 626 Coupe & Audi 80 show me pepper. The cars run like a dream in the first few months. After that, may God help you.

Quest, Murano & Freelander don show several people I know. Quest has virtually all problems one after the other. Murano has electrical issues.
