Hyundai Elantra with its grinding brake problem is a moving death trap. The brake system fails completely on rough road. This car is not good for Nigerian's roads

Op is not far from the truth about Honda Accord, but I must say, it has a better handling than most cars, and the engine is problem-free (as long as you do your routine maintenance).


I can never buy Ford Explorer no matter the technology in it. Very useless car.

Op where is Toyota on your list? Shock absorber and dashboard cracking problems.

EXACTLY MY BROTHER, BUT TOYOTA'S ARE LESS PROBLEMATIC

Talking from experience l and coming from a family and extended family of Honda freaks, I will say that the only good thing about Honda is that they have better cosmetic designs than Toyota both interior and exterior but generally speaking, Honda is a terrible brand anytime.
You can't embark on a journey of up to 500 miles with a Honda with confidence. That explains why you don't see any commercial transport company including any Honda brand in their fleet. They have very poor reliability ratio.
If Honda Accord troubles you particularly "Baby Boy, End of Discussion, Discussion Continues, and Evil Spirit", you'd think some with craft covers haven taken up the task to mess up your mobility.

[b][/b]BOSS YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL, I HAVE USED 4 BRANDS OF HONDA FROM BABY BOY, EOD, TO ODDYSEY 03 AND 05 THEY HAVE A REALLY POOR RELAIBILITY RATIO AS UVE SAID. I USED ALL THIS CARS COS OF THE LOVE I HAVE FOR INTERIOR AND SLEEK DESIGNS, BUT THEY CANT BE COMPARED TO TOYOTA. I JUST BOUGHT A CAMRY ENVELOPE 17 MONTHS BACK AND I NEVER HAD REGRETS FOR 1 YEAR.

So which one should we go for cos there's no car without its limitations.....

Just apply the good maintenance culture and the rest is history.

What's your take on these lists?

Any contradiction?

Evaluating cars should be concentrated on engine, transmission and electrical components over time.

Anything else is minor per "wears and tears" from use or abuse by owner.

Honda is not meant to be packing pure water, dragging space with commercial buses or rough driving with multiple pot holes, if you can avoid all these, is a wonderful car.
I bought my naija used last year april, no part changed yet and i drive to highland from redeem camp everyday with proper maintenance. Have also traveled to different states.

Thank you for the thoughts.

By these divergent reviews, especially on Honda cars, my takeaway is that whatever you use, your maintenance culture plays a critical role in its sustainability.

As a starter, I intend to start with a Civic between 2003 - 2005.

Any personal thought on these specs?

I was expecting to see cars like Landover freelanderr,Peugeot 607,Mitsubishi gallant, etc,the cars u researched are relatively new cars in Nigeria,here a window that refused to wind up or Honda brake problems are not counted as problems, what we use to measure reliability in Nigeria is engine and transmission longetivity.

Any "Best Selling" car is not problematic.

If you say Honda Civic, that new model accord are problematic, Oga, you need to define the word "problematic" again.

Nissan Murano; another name for hypertension.
haahaaa, very correct,the OP is listing very good cars like Honda Accord,Civic,f150 as problematic cars,what if he drives a Murano, Peugeot 607 or freelander,he will run mad, buying a Peugeot 607 is like buying hypertension and ulcer join,a car with two batteries,a brain box for headlights,wipers,ac,etc.a friend of mine was rendered penniless by that car,every month it spends 20 days in the workshop and the remaining 10 days you will be tensed and driving with the anticipation of what else will go wrong.
