Engine can be quite unreliable. Buy a Civic instead.

If the tough conditions is associated with scraping ground and flooded muddy road it's advice you find something with a high ground clearance.

CRV, Element, RAV4, outlander, Sportage, Tucson, Xtrail, Qashqi

@ nurey, is it fair to say then that Highlander may not be that ok for "a not too good" road like the young man noted....

nurey:


you have an SUV that does 16L/100km city driving and 10L/100km highway driving.

while

The Corolla is a saloon that does 8L/100km city and 6L/100km highway.

Nobody can decide for you,.you may want the Corolla badly but it may not be appropriate for your road network and passengers and luggage you intend to carry. Always factor other parameters before you make a choice

Each time Nigerians ask about a car, this is where our consultants and kazeems concentrate on : Fuel economy.

Pls are there no not get things to talk about in a car other than mpg, or did he say he wants to do taxify?

Civic is 3 years younger than vibe

Civic has less mileage than the vibe.

The Civic interior has leather, digital speedometer and not as ordinary as the vibe.

Vibe has an AWD variant for better traction.

vibe has cargo carrying capacity and ground clearance than the Civic.

fuel economy for both is close.

Don't mind kazeems like nurey. They don't talk about HP, torque, reliability, comfortability, suspension durability, safety, parts durability, security, comfort of other passengers etc etc some cars are so good that fuel economy is the least of your concerns

nurey:


You could have given him your own comparison since mine isn't good enough nobody will fault you for that.

Also a kazeem that assist others is useful than a professor that watches on the side line

thebigkendo:


I agree with this totally.. The worse part is he doesn't even bother to "help" when people ask for comparison about his beloved.. He only watches to criticize anybody who does not give a favourable one concerning the beloved

nurey:


HP and Torque is the list important determinant in vehicle purchase.

rationalmind:

nurey:


You asked about HP and Torque on everyday vehicles with traffic prone roads, bad portions everywhere and insane drivers to contend with. HP and Torque is the list important determinant in vehicle purchase.

Reliability TOYOTA is still tops followed by it's Japanese relative.

Comfortability the last time I check all Japanese cars have seats, came with factory AC, sound systems and are available in leather seat. Those are the basic comfortable requirements.

Suspension durability saloon/sedan suspension parts last more than SUVs

safety seatbelts, airbags all available though the Dana spec Kia and Hyundai in some models have these missing but those are Korean not Japanese

The others are just gibberish. So When next you don't appreciate my comparison or you deem it biased, you can always give yours nobody would rebuke you for that we are all here to learn

weyreypey:
it takes a novice or an automobile illiterate to deem a toyota comfortable.... where is the comfort? inside where... base mercedes cars can roll down windows using the key buttons since 1995, 2008 camry still cannot do that simple thing..... reliability for where... is it all those joining 13 pin to 10 pin gear that you call reliable, or big daddy that can ruin someone's life or muscle with melting dashboard? oga nurey be very careful.... or the pencil and fishlight that when you carry 3 adults at the back you start hearing krokrokrokrokro all day long?

when suspension is mentioned delete toyota.

Rubbiish:

U sound pained?
Even if u rant from now till death, you can not erase the record Toyota has established in Nigeria. It is better you save your energy for something more productive. 90% of u people shouting comfort can't afford 2018 Toyota avensis. Just come here to be making mouth...shouting comfort up and down...which car u dey ride? Go buy 2018 G wagon, make we hear word!

To whom it may concern;
My YouTube notification just alerted me that this is a reliable beast that most people don't even know about and then I looked it up but cld nt really grab the technical jargons so I'm here for your take on it and if we have good mechanics that know about them and can fix them....not trial and error mechanics.....
The beast na ....drums rolling.......

Don't mind alfa nurey.. Like say make i slap am

rationalmind:


Not sure I want to be in a vehicle where Nurey is the driver . Journey of 2 hours go fit take 10 hours.

That reminds me, who has seen greenhulk

nurey:


in 2009/2010 one of my aunt bought a Chevrolet Alero, light green colour from Cotonou I have forgotten the amount very beautiful looking vehicle.

Within a month, the engine don kpuff due to inability of the user (her child) to understand the working Dynamics as I am talking to you now they have not found the engine and the car is just a luxurious fashion show, it is just park there waiting for replacement Engine. You did ask can't mechanic rebuild it, well I am sure he could but where will he get gasket even if he can work other engine parts.

This particular Pontiac shares part with vehicles I have never seen on road or vehicles I have seen wasting away In kazeem shop, best advice is if you are in Nigeria just admire the car and walk away

...just reminiscing about my childhood and remembered vividly that whenever we were gathered and discussing our different futures at the time, this was the common conclusion that "...WHEN I GROW UP MY FIRST CAR WILL BE PEUGEOT 504, 505 etc"

Guys, when I where did Peugeot get it wrong, apart from federal govt workers now when Dy manage use am (I stand corrected anyways), these cars don Dy slowly turn MAMMOTH or even SASQUATCH wey Dy either go into extinction or perhaps shy of civilization...inshort, PEUGEOT don turn the ABORIGINALS of Australia.....lol

Guys, what are your takes...

nurey:


if I have extra cash on me I would buy the Peugeot 206 CC or 206 SW without blinking an eye lid.

Peugeot plenty in the north pass any other car 306, 206, 406, 407, 307, 301 all reliable vehicles.
