Op,

Pease, care to tell us when Peugeot 307 & 407 were sold in USA?

Since when did all 2003 Toyota Highlanders had 2AZ-FE? Or are you saying only 2003 Toyota Highlander got the 2AZ-FE?

Please, don't use Car Talk to spread false information. Go back and do your research well.

It would be good for you to state your source(s).
Also there is no car that is issue free, it would be better for you to change your topic to something like 'common cars and their known issues' or something like that.
And please since when is 'rough transmission shifting' or 'excessive oil usage' a reason for 'avoiding a car as hell'??

chuqudy:
the person using this moniker 'Chuqudy' (chukwudi) must be a very controversial person and it seems he doesn't take his time to properly research thus making him spew junk. Some days ago he nearly caused WW3 when he started a thread comparing Toyota Matrix with Nissan Murano.

www.nairaland.com/1391026/nissan-murano-toyota-matrix-which.

when people tried to correct him he started going caustic and hurling insults with reckless abandon. Now he has returned to continue his rounds of controversies which he is best known for.

Those asking what is wrong with excessive oil usage should imagine traveling with 40liters galon full of oil and toping oil like fuel in any little journey or else engine will knock. Most of these problems I listed dont develop immediately but they are the usual problems encountered as the mileage of the cars increase. The problems can be fixed but that is your extra money. These faults are also seen in other models but it is worse in the listed models.
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by chuqudy(m): 8:35am On Aug 23, 2013
These problems, apart from costing you your money, can also cost you your life. Most accidents that occur in our roads are not all caused by driver's carelessness but as a result of some of these problems I listed. These were mistakes made by the manufacturers and not the fault of users. It is good for users to know the usual problems associated with the models of cars they use in order to be alert and not to be surprised by a sudden change in their cars' behavior. Share your experiences.

Oga, with all due respect, you seem to be a bit confused-your title says "...to avoid as hell" and now you're talking about "...to know the usual problems associated with the models of cars they use in order to be alert and not to be surprised by a sudden change in their cars' behavior" Which one you dey nah?

You yourself looking to buy a 2003 Honda Accord not too long ago-that smacks of a little bit of hypocrisy, don't you think?

And please which of the cars in your list would require '40liters galon full of oil' for 'travelling'-Please state your source(s).

Stop spewing unverified or exaggerated facts on this forum please.

Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by chuqudy(m): 10:07am On Aug 23, 2013
The 40 liters I wrote is called an exageration in Use of English. I wanted to use that illustration to disproof the guy that was trying to say that excessive use of oil is not a serious issue. As for the person asking why I wanted to buy 2003 honda, it is because people sell out their 2003 honda at a very cheap price because of the usual problem of the model. Since, I can correct the problem, I can use the car well. I like the car because it is very cheap.
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by tdie: 10:28am On Aug 23, 2013
The car section is not for exaggeration-a lot of people will make their choice of cars to buy based on what they read on this section.

Why are you then looking to buy a car you are asking other people to avoid "as hell", do you think you are the only person who can "correct" the problem. That's Hypocrisy and selfishness combined.

You still haven't quoted your sources for the false information you are spreading

And before I forget, Thank you for lecturing me in "the use of English", but you should live by example- its 'disprove', not 'disproof' amidst other errors.

If you really like cars because they are 'cheap', then I can only say that there are much cheaper cars available for you to buy- Naija used VW Beetle perhaps (At least you get to drive a German car at below 25k cost price) -Just joking...,

It means you are not even heeding your own advice.

I will not comment on this topic again, and based on rule 8 of the NL rules, I propose the Mod closes this thread if the OP does not provide evidence/sources for his assertions.
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by chuqudy(m): 11:09am On Aug 23, 2013
I am glad that I know something most people who claim to be car specialists in nairaland does not know. I know you want to know the source of my information. You should ask me to provide the sources in a polite way and not by force. What you don't know is greater than you. You may go and do your own research too and find for yourself. I advice people especially those who want a car without unnecessary problems and who are not ready for unnesasiry spending on repairs to avoid these cars.
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by RoyalRoy(m): 11:37am On Aug 23, 2013

Mind you, the manufacturers of these cars listed and the ones not listed are aware of the problems and have payed a lot of damages for that. Go and research and may be you will come back here to thank me for sharing this virgin information if pride would allow you.
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by chuqudy(m): 12:01pm On Aug 23, 2013
Royal roy. Pride is your problem. Your character must be like that of my profesor. He always dismiss any new information from students or junior lectures which he does not know, but he would secretely go into research. When he finds out that the information is true, he would add it to his knowledge but would still refuse to say that the information is true before the students just because he was not the one that knew it first. You little informed one, search the internet and learn new things ok.

I think you are missing out something here; what about the w203 Benz's and the BMW's, though these cars are very good machine from experience, but their wahala no be here; the more sophisticated they are; the more problematic they could be. Do your findings again and lets know your sources too
Re: Worst Models Of Cars To Avoid as Hell by Ikenna351(m): 8:49pm On Aug 23, 2013
Going by the forum rules, this thread would have been locked or hidden long time ago. But of course, i would have been called all sorts of names, as usual.

Like i said to you in the other thread, Car Talk is not Politics section.

My point is, if you don't want to modify the topic and your starting post of this your thread, i will help you do that, and you may like how i will do it.

Dear Nairalanders, The OP (Chuqudy) is fond of creating stupid threads with no valid facts or sources and when people try to make a reasonable comments, he reverts to insults and abuses. Just check his threads, a good example is https://www.nairaland.com/1391026/nissan-murano-toyota-matrix-which . He is indeed a slowpoke with low level of IQ and I think he thinks with his anus. People should stop commenting to any of his threads and I think the MOD should close this thread.

By the time you come back from your 7-day suspension from this section for insulting members (basttards), i will help instill discipline in you, which is obvious you lack.

From one of your post here, it appears you are still a student of Tertiary institution or you just left school. Meaning, you haven't even started life. You probably don't know what it's like out there, yet you are going in this direction.

You can choose to come back to Car Talk after your suspension or stay away. But if you do come back, then be ready to be learn.

Please, Original Poster was asked to prove his stand on those vehicles he listed; to show us how he came to those conclusions. You should have leave him to do so. Besides, only 2005 Pathfinder is what i saw in the link you provided as one of the vehicles he listed, unless am mistaken.

I would have wanted Chuqudy to tell us where he got to that conclusion about why prople should stay away from 2003 Peugeot 307 & 2007 Peugeot 407. Probably he had owned the 2 vehicles before. Even at that, if i my D9 V6 had an A/C issue at o point and i complained online about it, does it mean all 406 V6 produced the same year of mine should be avoided? Smh!

There is no car that can't have ANY of those problems sighted in the link....it all depend on the way each individual maintains his automobile!!

You don't maintain a car for a long period of time & u expect it to remain as it was when u bought it?

Be reasonable sir!
