I do not agree. Yes, Struts are wearable parts. But some last longer than you could imagine than the other brands, irrespective of the environment its used on.

Toyota struts are generally known for frequent failures on monthly basis. Sometimes, on bi-weekly basis. Its a big time flaw of all Toyota products so far. That is, its a peculiar problem to Toyota.

Not trying to be biased here, but Peugeots are known for durable struts/shock absorbers. In fact, they are the only car manufacturer that Patented their strut. Why? First, the outstanding quality(durability). Second, only Peugeot strut are rebuildable.

There are other car brands that use durable struts on their products, but Toyota is simply not one of them.

Yungboss,

The thing is, Audi A8 generation FWD had V6 & V8. But they later realised the mistake & dropped the FWD V8 & continued with AWD V8 till date. I guess they couldnt break the record well, after all.

My Boy has a 98 cadillac Seville STS . The STS version comes with GM Northstar V8 engine AND IT IS FWD. ALL CADILLAC SEVILLE FROM 98-2005 WERE FWD. Some come in V6 OR V8 VERSION

eaglechild:

I think u shld go for thanksgiving. How much bhp do u think the V4 has.

Lord_Reed:

150+bhp so? Besides it's not a V4 but an I4

eaglechild:

Yes it's more correctly referred to as an I4, just following the post.
The point am trying to make is that they are not made for stunt driving esp on naija roads. They are basically for moving from point A to B. It is not a sport sedan and should not be driven as such.

Ikenna351:

Car is not SUV, dont get confused.

Meanwhile, the guy that said that Audi A8 FWD had V8 as well was right. I just checked & confirmed. My mistake then. That means Audi has break the record.

Trac:

Some "SUV's" are cars. The M Class is a car - and that's according to Mercedes. On its own class, I don't think it has a competition yet. It is also a first. The X3 and X5 are cars too without added potentials, save for certain biases. The Explorer, Expedition, Yukon, poser Hummer, some Toyota's and the rest in the aforementioned calibre are pickup trucks. The Range Rover, Toureg/Cayenne (multi-purpose), Wranglers etc are 4x4's or offroaders.

A dedicated 4x4 will have two transmission selectors. They're short wheel-base also.

In reality, there is no such thing as an "SUV." It doesn't exist in automotive. It's a marketing term. This is never mentioned within automotive circles.

The chassis is what you look at and not the form-factor. You'll mess up when judge a vehicle by its form-factor. There are some cars that look like boats and when they pull of to your side, they are taller than your German sedan. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice it's a compact vehicle on 14 inches of rims, yet taller. A new name has been given to such insanity and it's called "crossover." There are other categories to this insanity as well. The truth is that no such thing exist and it's all a marketing term. The crossover term was nothing but damage-control to sinking automotive sales in the United States during the fuel spikes in prices. Somehow some way, they were able to convince people that you could get the fuel efficiency and ergonomics of a vehicle while having a truck-like build. The same principle applies to the BMW notion as being the ultimate driving machine and the 50/50 weight distribution. These were by marketers/advertisement groups. In theory and manifestations, it cannot be imagined, let alone a foresight of truth.

Ask any mechanic. Almost All camrys generally come with this funny shock and noise on the shock absorber area of the car. U can test drive a camry and an honda and compare the difference

okpara ugo:

Even a 1995 camry is still a sturner on the expressway, once you are a good driver with guts, no car sees your back. Only a calculative driving behind a 3.5/3.7litre engine will dust you.
