Thanks for ur response please apart from the corrolla what other car can u recommend for the business.
In PH, matrix is allowed. Civic, Pontiac vibe, avensis.

No matter what you do, do not go above. 2.0 liter engine and stick to cars whose parts are readily available in PH and mechanics know their way around the engine bay.

Good morning guys, I’m thinking of getting my first car, I’m trying to choose between Honda Civic 2013 or Hyundai Elantra 2013. All Nigerian used. Which is more preferable and why?
Thanks.
My budget is 3M
Get the Nigerian used Elantra. Look for one with mileage below 150k kilometers.

They are quite reliable. I'd wager they are as reliable as the civic and won't come with very high mileage like most civics.

Check for abuse sha.

This your list is too wide.
You have SUVs and sedans in there.
Is it sedan you want or SUV?
Choose one category so the list can be narrowed

From your list:
SUV - Highlander
Sedan - Lexus es330
Obviously it will be nigerian used based on your budget so get a very reliable technician to help you inspect your options very very well.
And if possible, go for those that hasn't been registered for more than a year.

Hello Guys.

I checked for RX 300 4 x 4 engine on jiji

And am seeing Engine for sienna, highlander and Rx300 together.

Can these 3 cars use the same Engine.

Or is there a way to know the one suitable for Rx300 only.

I don't want to buy mixup Engine thanks

Go with a qualified mechanic to get the engine.
Most manufactures use same engine for different models with slight power output.
You vehicle uses a 1MZ engine and it was used in a lot of different Toyota and Lexus models.

Seriously, I don’t think you should worry about Honda’s CVTs, I use a 2014 Civic and no issues so far, now @130k+ km.

Almost all the 2013 & upwards Accord (stand to be corrected) you admire on the road are CVTs equipped. And how many have you seen in mechanical workshops with issues pertaining the transmission?

You should inspect when buying one dazzol.

Thanks.

You cannot compare sedan with SUV.
Compare sedan with sedan, and SUV with SUV.
So you 1st need to decide if na sedan you want or SUV.

Hi guys,

Please what are the pros and cons of Toyota Camry 2010 XLE V6 versus Toyota Camry 2010 XLE I4

I'm seeing them for same price but the I4 has a lower mileage though.

Which should I go for?

Thanks in advance

He has been busy with AUTOS AND CARTALK LIMITED => www.autosandcartalk.com, which you must have come across its sponsored adverts on Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc. That could have even prompted you to write this.

In addition, it has been a very long time you post Volvo vehicles or things about them. Has the brand shown you shege to the extent of you breaking ties with them?

Alright sir.

Fuel economy - CRV definitely. RX350 is a v6.
Maintenance - Both are not difficult to maintain. However, the CRV costs less to maintain as the lexus body parts are expensive.
Practicality - Both provide enough room but the lexus wins this as it has more legroom and cargo room.
Fun to drive - Both provides AWD options but the lexus wins this easily as it has more power, torque and the AWD moves more like one compared to the 4WD on the CRV.
