aside range roves being the most unreliable car they are thr highest stolen cars in the uk just use google. My guy used a evoque and sold it off less than 8months. He has over 5cars so maintenance is never his problem
Your guy is just one...

Out of a million people who use range rovers and love it.

He may have purchased a faulty car that needed recall... Not brand!

Bad is relative here in my opinion...


All you listed are valid points.


Performance is another... In terms of drive performance and "individual" quality you can't compare a Lamborghini to an audi for instance.

Or a Benz to say a Volkswagen in performance and drive. Even though both are good brands!


Registered Benz holders will always tell you there are two cars in the world: Mercedes Benz and others.

Jizoz me😂😂😂..I almost forgot the shege given to me by the Benz A140. Everything about that car is problematic. Front wheel drive for a Benx, weak suspensions etc. The entire engine needs to be removed to change very minor parts

Maybe non is bad, but some are definitely better than others.

I’m currently using a 2013 GMC Terrain after using various Toyota models since 2011. And I can confirm that non of the Toyota come anywhere close to the GMC

Is this some bad joke or what?
Well @OP, firstly, each car model is made to cater to the needs of a particular targeted consumers and as such, there are hardly any car that will tick all your boxes meaning that you will be forced to trade off one thing for the other. Also despite this, many car brands have produced horrible car models at one point or the other while many brands are notorious for churning out expensive garbage (e.g Range Rover, Ford and many other American car brands) Some vehicles are built mainly for performance while some others are built with reliability as the main focal point. Volvo are renowned for solid build quality and customers’ safety (they are very conscious about your survival in case of accidents) while many Toyotas are known for reliability and economy (corollas). So mr Op, cars are different and there are bad cars/models/makers.
I wouldn’t advise my enemy to buy most of these German cars (e.g Benz and BMW) Korean cars (Hyundai and Kia for e.g) American makes and this is just to mention a few. You might be surprised that I mentioned Benz and this is to prove to you that cars are varied and far from being the same. Benz, despite being known for luxury, ostentatious designs and smooth, rich driving experience, they are hardly reliable. Do I need to add that they are not for kids? (maintenance-wise)
Just pray you don’t jam possessed car grin grin, you will easily earn yourself a PhD in mechanical engineering in no time. That’s when you’ll realize that gambling, drugs and adultery combined is child’s play compared to bad cars grin

Agreed.
When I was getting my car. People discouraged me that i shouldn't blah blah blah, that I should have gotten a toyota.

I didn't want to get a toyota because of the rate at which it's being stolen. Can't park my car somewhere and be restless about it .

I sha bought my car and honestly, I have been enjoying it. I have done repairs here and there which is normal to me due to wears and tears. Maintenance is key .

My car still moves fine. There isn't any fault it has that I don't know about or how to solve it. I have my scanner to scan anything. Then I have a good loyal mechanic that helps

I agree with you. Indeed no car brand is bad

Or imagine someone driving Honda EOD or baby boy in 2023 and complaining of leg problems, isn't that ridiculous? I doubt if people in civilized countries buy cars that old. Not when they have access to credit facilities which they can use to get newer models.

In Nigeria here, you'll buy whatever your money can afford.


IF your so called people in the civilized world are not still using these old car, how come importers/dealers still have them to import.

I agree with you. Indeed no car brand is bad.

The major reason why people keep having issues with their cars is because the average Nigerian buys a car which is 10 years and above.

Imagine driving Camry big daddy of 2005 in 2023. Or Toyota Highlander of 2002 That's 18 - 21 years after manufacture date. The mileage would be extremely high, mechanic would have touch touch the motor taya. It might have gear box issue, oil leakages, shock problem...etc.

Then you now talk about our bad roads, and quack mechanics. This is why it looks as if some brand of cars are bad.

I doubt that, your GMC might seem perfect to you but Toyota is the most rugged brand of car, that is a japenese brand
If not that benz has more elegance, superior interior and top rated wheel balance i won't give it number 1

why do you think your politicians want to kill themselves on Toyota SUVs

Anything from 30 years and above over there is referred to as vintage. People pay heavily to acquire them.

As for me, no car brand or model is BAD.

I can point to our roads, mechanics, car parts sellers, economy, maintenance culture, driving habits, ignorance, stingyness, etc. in Nigeria as the ones BAD!!!

Do you AGREE or DISAGREE with me?

If you AGREE, you can point to other things I didn't include up there.

If you DISAGREE, let us see your reason(s).
there is an annual report of car breakdown and repairs in America. Consistently some brands and models have fared better. Quality is not acquired, but built.

Nissan yeap agrees. Mazda make sure it's v6 then you will be fine. Question why do people in Nigeria always look for 4-cylinder cars? With constant use of AC, you need a V6 to minimize car RPM.
