I think people go for toyota because the mechanics are everywhere. I had a BMW, but had to sell it when the mechanic handling it lost his life. I tried several others but none could solve the car's trouble. FestacGirl: |

evilspirit:exactly my opinion, my golf 3 has been serving me everyday for the past six years without any major issue. I Used #5000 fuel from abuja to Lagos in less than than 10hrs. The strongest TOYOTA can never give you that value. I don't do Toyota |

The hype around reliability of Toyota stems from 3 models of toyotas: The Hilux, Corolla and Hiace. Other not so reliable models of Toyota benefited from this 3 brands. The corolla 2003 - 2006 and Camry 99-2001 cars are legendary in Nigeria and Abroad. They engine and transmission have a knack to run on forever without issues and their suspension are hard to kill. They are generalyl simple cars that are very easy to maintain. They also do not suffer from over engineering, something that can not be said of European and American cars of similar time frame. .. The Hilux is so reliable that it has become the defacto logistics and figting vehicles of insurgent around the world.. Very few vehicles can operate in the very harsh punishing conditions of the sahel but Hilux shrines through. It fame came about After Chad defeated a powerful Libyan army with all its latest tanks and amour using the speed and mobility offered by a Toyota Hilux armed with a 50mm anti aircraft gun. The speed and mobility of the toyota allowed a small rebel Chadian army to encircle many Libyan troops forcing a Libyan surrender. This war became known in history has the Toyota war of 1987. Now you understand why the hype. Of recent though, it has becoming obvious that newer toyotas are failing to live up to the hype and the company seems to be living on past glory. The 2008-2013 model of corollas are not as strong and reliable as their predecessors and they have started to suffer from the same over engineering which plaques European cars.. more and more modules are left in the hands of computers which can make them a bit more complicated to fix outside of official dealership. 13 Likes |

Toyota Corolla being the world’s best selling brand of all times with 44.1 copies sold is not by mistake...in my experience with Matrix I tell you that car is maintenance free compared to my accord 1 Like |
Re: Is Toyota As Reliable As Nigerians Make It Seem. by Originalsly: 12:09pm On Jul 22, 2018 |
Which other brand is more reliable than Toyota?...in this country?...and the same can be asked in other countries. We generally do not have a culture of car maintenance...nor correctly fixing problems...we often use shortcuts. Doing the same across the board....Toyota is most tolerant and would be the last brand running...most reliable....a title given because of track record. @ op...nice job at countering some comments! 2 Likes |

Abubakarsiddeeq: The author of that quote was not looking at reliability and cost-effectiveness of maintenance but considered strength and performance...a lot depends on your reference points...of recent a lot of guys have been having issues with both C and E class models between 2002 to 2008 editions...if you have also been observant then you’d see that many of them break down on the road these days mostly due to electrical problems... 1 Like |

BENTOSYN: 1. Toyota Corolla The first Toyota Corolla rolled off of the assembly line and into our hearts in 1966. By 1974 it was the best-selling car in the world. When Toyota announced Corolla number 40 million, it said they fly out of dealerships so quickly the automaker isn't sure who has it or at what location number 40 million was sold. By now, the number has swelled to more than 43 million sold worldwide. 1 Like |

Toyota is never overhyped. Check the charts, Corolla sold most copies of any sedan and RAV4 is the most used SUV. As for me, a young guy, I prefer to drive a car that won’t give me problem anytime. That’s the reason I can never consider using a Honda product with the bad road in our country. My heart bleeds whenever I see a honda with a pulled ball joint stucked in the middle of the road. I’m already on my second Corolla, because it’s durable, reliable and more fuel efficient. That’s the reason it has more value than Honda , not only in Nigeria, even when you buy the tokunbo. Though Honda looks more elegant, but I drive my Corolla with full confidence. Aside changing of oil, brake pad and brake oil, I have never taken any of my car to a mechanic before. I also something elegant, but it’s better to be reliable. Benz and BMW are options for luxury. But before u buy any, make sure u own more than a car, because the parts can’t be easily found. 1 Like |
