Back 2014 my first Toyota car tiny light, used. After buying I kept using didn't bother to take to mechnfor check up and up till two months I was using it like that not even to service. When I finally decided to visit the mechanic u need to see how black the oil has gotten, the mechanic told me the legs are all gone and I was even lucky the car engine didn't knock, a Honda couldn't have managed that.
In Nigeria we have alot of things to worry about than servicing a car at the right time or changing legs , keeping a car engine clean bla bla bla like those Honda users claim to do regularly. Toyota is the car for Africa. Just wake up, start ur car and go.

Hahaha mr gravatar you dey tryoo..I pray Toyota brand pick your call ...now to the topic I prefer Toyota brand to Honda. but you see I have Honda SUV ,Toyota premier, benz ,I dey feel the benz more. Every car brand is ok it all depends on your pocket, pockets determine desire..the op should tell us how much he can part with to get a good whip then we can advise him...is a pity we are not even talking about our own indigenous auto makers like innoson and co ..but are wasting our data on foreign brands

How many Nigerians can afford a brand new Innosun car? Despite it being indigenous. Does Innoson sell Tokunbo cars?

If its tokunbo or second is readily available in the market, then we can compare and contrast.

I have never used a car in my life but planning to get one in the nearest future.

I have been planning to myself a Toyota car but the reviews I get on this wonderful brand is scary.

Check the pictures below and read reviews as per these cars' engine and give your honest opinions/reviews.

Honda and Toyota owners, o we to you.

Nigerians exaggerate issues with cars simply because of persistent urban legends and myths created by ignorant dealers and mechanics.

Unless there's a recall on any vehicle, most of these problems are hyperbolic and fictitious, mostly stemming from a bad maintenance and repair culture.

Many cars on Nigerian roads are driven with Check Engine/MIL lights on, but the drivers and owners and mechanics turn a blind eye and tell you as long as the car starts and drives (no matter how poorly) there's no reason to bother. Imagine a pilot telling his passengers that a red caution light is nothing to bother about.

Also, the wrong engine oil viscosity is often used, going for brands instead of the right SAE number. Same thing with using the wrong DOT specification for brake hydraulics.

Don't believe the hype. Go to car forums online, read your manual, do some research.

I used Honda EOD for about six years before I bought a 2009 Toyota corolla. It was then I realized that I had suffered myself for six years driving Honda. Toyota is far a reliable car than Honda. With my 2009 corolla now I no longer have to bother about CV joints or ball joints pulling off while driving. Also I don't have to bother about refilling of power steering pump with power steering oil because my 2009 corolla is with electric power steering system, controlled by the ABS sensors.

It's funny that you wrote all these long epistles without even laying one point about why toyota is better than honda.




But if people use it more, and its parts are sold more.
Do you need any more reason to know that this is better than this ?

pls.. My people!
I prefer Toyota in many ways to compares Honda...
In terms of Engine compartment, Toyota is still mechanic number one!

Toyota and their VVTI Engines are simple the best..
Imagine, Toyota Avelon 2013,v6, are compartible with, highlander, venza, Sienna etc., less consumption of fuels, rugged shocks,
Honda are too buggy to maintain, one who open Honda bonnet may think there is the transformers headquarters.. Excess wires full there.. For mechanic to do his work there, bro, he will suffer..
In everything, have you see Toyota camry hybrid, prius hybrid.. Etc
Go and confirm. First!

As a car enthusiast Honda interior is more classy lookin than Toyota both need maintenance and I haven’t really driven them but I know everyone has that one Honda that keep going until the engine died. Same can be said for Toyota too lol personally na Toyota Dey swerve pass for road with number I just Dey match brake because if anything now idi ti ya

Both models are good and affordable I went for Benz because of tradition I must drive the car my ancestors drove

Same thing happened to my sister's 2008 Toyota Camry, she drove without changing oil for two years, the engine knocked (2014-2016), abandoned at the mechanic workshop in Abuja while she started driving Honda (Discussion continues) . In essence what are you saying?

Boss I sell cars bro the demand for Honda is very high while people are not willing to sell bro
Flier:
I don’t see any argument here,if you ever use both Honda and Toyota you will see a very clear different
I used Honda baby boy,HOD and evil spirit,they are all useless cars,always suffers electrical problem,gear problem,engine problem and several other problem and worst of all broken leg as my friends call it
If the water inside your Honda car sudden finish or your Engine oil is low,you are in trouble,you may need to buy another engine
Anyway if you like yourself avoid Honda like plague,Infact people are not even buying it like before

Gravatar has made some valid points.

Many people use Toyota, more than other brands in Nigeria, same people abuse their vehicles heavily. Part sellers will stock parts that in high demand, which happen to be Toyotas.

Most used engines in Ladipo are rebuilt, not just Toyota engines, don't take my word for it, just walk around the market. Except you are buying directly from the container, and you have to know what you are doing to be able to. And yes, more Toyota engines are rebuilt, because there is a higher demand for it.


As a first time car user. You are safe with known brands if you will be travelling a lot within the country. Getting a Toyota, Honda, mechanic won't be hard.

If you want to use the vehicle for transport. Check the route you will be using, what vehicles are common. Even within a state, there are particular brands used there. For example in Lagos. Epe, Ajah, ibeju axis: Opel Zafira, Korope : Itoikin Ikorodu axis: Mazda mpv, Ikorodu to Oshodi axis: Volkswagen bus, mazda bus, etc. If your vehicle breaks down along that route, you are sure of getting a mechanic to fix the problem.


Generally, it is car users that are brand loyalist. The manufacturer across board buy parts from largely the same manufacturer and assemble. That is why the base price for new vehicles in the same category are just slightly different. They adopt and improve on the same technology.

But whatever you like.

What I can get here is that both are good, I'm OK with that. Lord bless me so I can afford any one of these two. Please send favour my way and surprise me with the provision before the end of this year in Jesus name.
