oga weda we like it or not, the Toyota can tolerate abuse more than any other vehicle......

y is it that the shocks of Toyota are crap but the oem ball joint of the Honda is perfect abi..... SMH.

what of the transmission and PS that will just die when u try to manage any other oil?

haba let's be civil abeg

This is one of the major problems in Nigeria, car owners/mechanic using non-recomended fluids/parts. This is something I don't joke with. In fact when I buy toks parts I MUST go with the broken one pulled from the vehicle. It must be an exact match. Just because something fits doesn't mean it's what should be there. There a plane that crashed because, one maintenance engineer eye-balled the bolt size he was to replace.

Why is it that we all rush for Toks vehicle instead of naija-used? It's all this abuse that messes up a car whether Toyota or Honda.

Bros you are taking ish personal

You dey talk as if nobody dey change Toyota PS or transmission system.

OP asked for advice & Inception gave his own opinion.

Because you abuse your car doesn't mean others do? Or somebody buying a car is planing to abuse his.

I know people driving volvo, VW, BMW & Benz for years without any major problem, cars which we all claim can't tolerate kazeem abuse.. So such people should have bought bland boring Toyotas because it can tolerate abuse? while missing out on driving great machines which might probably never be abused.

u see, when people like u argue..... it motivates me because u have something to offer.

I brought out the abuse part cos of the sentimental non-objective argument someone posed.

I personally will not advise anyone to not to carry out due and valid service/maintenance.
this is the ideal system but in reality.... idealism is only but a never ending journey.....

how many people asking for advise can comfortably maintain those cars? many peeps here save money from monthly salary..... valid maintenance is key and economical on the long term but people tend to love the short term mirage of compromise..... it's a natural thing.... that's y people would rather use shortcut than the normal longer route...... esp Nigerians....

it is very very important to point out these aspects when proffering advise.....


PS if y'all cannot cope with timely and valid maintenance..... stay off the Honda

not everyone has enough money to buy a car and maintain it properly like "Most" of us here(even tho it's all in the typing.... real life.... all na jege... na dem even manage pass)

hooooo haaaaaaa

Kaydeexotic:
Thanks a lot for the pieces of advice. I'm very grateful... I forgot to also state that the Camry is a 4 cylinder car while the accord is V6

Get that Honda, without any further hesitation.

Pipedreams:
Pick the Accord if you don't mind if your ball joints pulls off on top speed or when you wanna hola a babe

Pipedreams:


Take the Camry na! Honda v6 are very thirsty o. I know Honda beats Camry in styling and swag but the Camry is a better car

The ball joint bla bla doesn’t happen on top speed. I’ve seen it happen once so I should know.
Honda V6 powerplants arent thirsty (MPG is at par for both models)
BUT
I guess you would rather spew forth uneducated & uninformed views. I put it to you, that you operate based on hear say only, and not facts.

Kaydeexotic:
Fellow nairalanders. I'm stuck between these two cars. Toyota Camry and honda accord. People are claiming the Camry is more reliable and has higher resale value and easily maintainable. I'm more in love with the Honda accord as I'm used to honda products already. Please I need good pieces of advice.

Take a test drive in both models, similar spec. If you’re performance biased, you’ll surely go home with the Honda.

There’s no big deal to maintaining the Honda, or any other car for that matter. A lot of things are said about Honda this and that, but I have personally used 5 Honda accords, (2003-2007),from autos to i4 manual to v6 manual (still run the 2010 v6 manual coupe) and I have no idea what a lot of folk here are talking about

I simply carry out my routine & preventive maintenance, and drive my motor. I have never had, and will never have any funny issues, it’s not rocket science-it’s a piece of moving metal, devoid of sentiments, so what you put in is what you’ll get out. Cheers!

Really sad that people actually factor in “which car can take more abuse” bla bla when trying to advise someone on a car.

I've finally decided to settle for the Honda accord... I've taken a test drive in both cars but I actually felt more of life in the Honda than the Toyota. I pledge to keep true to routine maintenance.. so help me God

Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions at one point or the other.. God bless you all

I never imagined being a Honda user especially after having worked for Toyota for a couple of years HOWEVER... I was talked into it after being dissatisfied with Mercedes and bought an Acura RDX in 2010, loved it so much, bought a new one in 2013.
Ready again for a new vehicle and guess what's leading the pack?

Oh, and in the three years my Acura has been in Nigeria, it's only needed 4 new tires and recently code went off for catalytic converter.

Say what you will but it boils down to personal preference for me between both brands.

Then they shouldn't be buying a car it soon lower like I talked about in my TCO thread. Just like you should not marry wife if you can't maintain her properly

This is Nigeria, Every fuel stinking now

That's how one Benz bullied my new accord on the highway yesterday. I wanted to cry...but I'll bully other people too later..

Nurey let's race na

Sad but true. I don't begrudge any man putting bread on the table but not at other's expense.

Okay, except maybe RightWayauto. Leave that one too one side. When princess is born it's kings and queens I want her to meet first. Then when she is older she will be exiled to the peasants to learn survival heh heh

we for kukuma change Nigeria too na.

no vex bro, just that I find it awkward when people talk about the strut(both oem and aftermarket) part of the Toyota and praise the oem ball joint of the Honda.....

all in all, u dey try wella sha.....


PS...... I will still use a Honda... yes I will..... but I will also not hesitate to speak the truth..... Honda doesn't tolerate abuse......

and yes I will always include it in my recommendations...... abuse and poor maintenance vehicles.....

heck even international pros do it.... why shouldn't I.... an aspiring learner like me........

It all ball down to maintenance as l have used two Honda accord,Honda legend and two Toyota corolla and l know the difference. I have most experience any bolt joint pull not even for once in any of the Honda and you can beat it comfortability.
