;DDr Wise, na wa for you o!what makes me keep having this nostalgic feelings that you're imitating th chap whose thread made front page a few days ago but was literally skinned alive for mentioning that he was driving his SUV when he saw a man, seated on a bike,& then carrying his bike. Dr. Wise: |

While SUV may be preferable, i must tell ya that nigerian roads have no love or respect for no vehicles of any type...sooner or later, you will be visiting the mechanic frequently if you drive, SUV okada or a regular car... |

If you live in Lagos,you should consider the perennial flooding.So Suv is your best bet.However remember driving an Suv in the city comes with its price which is spending more on fuel. |

Milikiman: i wl advice u to get a maintenance frendly suv like pathfinder and a smol car beside just like me.even xpres in naija na offroadI agree with you. A Pathfinder is a cool SUV and comfortable too[1999-2003], don't ttempt [2006-] but it's not too rugged. An Exterra on the other hand is super rugged but not comfortable. |

Jarus: The sound u r hearing could be from your timing chain adjuster. Check it out. Water entering the engine is a No no! Your engine won't even fire up. Check the timing chain adjuster |

How come nobody mentioned the fact that an SUV differs from a Jeep. An SUv is optimised for on-road, a Jeep is at home offroad. SUVs are just glorified tall cars, in an offroad environment, they will fall to pieces. People should stop comparing their SUVs with Range Rovers. One is Fat, the other is Bone. They should read car reviews and watch Top Gear. |

Widow: How come nobody mentioned the fact that an SUV differs from a Jeep. In Nigeria, we sometimes call SUV as jeeps and vice versa not that we don't know the difference. Not sure what you meant by "comparing SUVs with range rovers", a range rover is just a luxurious SUV. If I am driving offroads, I would rather buy a landcruiser than a range even if I can afford both SUVs. |

Widow: How come nobody mentioned the fact that an SUV differs from a Jeep. Ignorant talk. A Jeep is just a brand name for another type of SUV 1 Like |

ak2809: On point! Jeep is just the naija jargon for SUVs. |
