Honda Accord 03
Bought it last year,
Not a single fix up till date.
Car was overpriced for Nigerian Used but was worth the price eventually.


Plan to change to an es330 Lexus later this year

So what's your point?

The point is that Honda do not make bad products, thats why millions of people buy it and don't regret. Some people buy it and move to the newer models and stick to Honda. Do your home work and find out why some people love it while you will "never buy any Honda products" because of "what people say about that car, my uncle enjoys repairing that fvcking car all the time."

You've made your mind up regardless of the manufacturer being top 5 in the world and has models that topped selling charts in the US. What makes you think you know better than those millions who use it. I have a friend who bought a 2002 Toyota Corolla but regretted doing it. He has ported to a 2007 Accord from reviews and he feels at home. Does that make all Toyota products bad? No, his case was that he got a lemon and didn't like the sour taste.

A car like a 2002-07 Nissan Murano is so unreliable but people buy it.

If you will never buy a Honda, which car will you buy? Certainly your legs will be the most reliable means of travel if your standards are that high.

What about Honda power bikes?

Will you not fly in the Honda aeroplane?.

Or will not have a Honda land mower?

What about if your wife or mum cooks stew that the tomatoes was grinded with the Honda single stroke engine in your neighborhood?

My first came with a tinted glass with factory sealed doors.
It had a slim line of army blue and silver color body work.
The tires were Plastic ceramic like and dark, with firm grip to enhance quick responsive brake..
It came with a double tubor 2+ Conan batteries -1. It could reach an amazing speed of 25 inches in 3 seconds.

It was a toy car

If you want Corolla 03 to 07 jus have 1.7 to 2m for clear n clean deal.

Nice choice of car. Looks like A4 08. Men nfin beats Audi. Am a big fan, I use an A4 06 presently and nfin beats the ruggedness and comfort. Nice baby u got there.

As if that is a good trait. An abused car is functioning below optimal level. Imagine nigerians removing thermostat in a vehicle undecided

I did not say that poor maintenance culture is a good trait.

But the fact remains that most Nigerians have very poor maintenance culture!

Have never used a corolla but I believe its not about competition its about using a car that serves you well. Audi is rugged,classy and elegant. Its an underdog like I said. Have used Honda, Lexus IS250, and few more. Hv also used a 2012 C300 and currently now am Audi is giving some Overheating issue so am using a Matrix 2013 I bought last week till the Audi issue is rectified. Buy I can tell you I will still pick the Audi over this cars. Its a machine

Let me try again.

You said "you will never buy a Honda" right?

My point is you have decided to follow the advise of ignorant people and considered it popular advise when it is not. In fact, millions of people buy Honda, Honda is among the top 5 car makers in the world, they are in the same league with Toyota, Benz and the rest.

Based on your stand, I wish that you have a rethink, why do millions buy Honda and you say you will never buy it? Personally, I do ask myself reasons when my decision seems to deviate from popular opinion. I hope you check your reasons again.

If the tire pull out is the issue, you will do yourself a favour if you asked those who like Honda despite the leg pull issue.

Lemme get a cold beer this time
I strongly agree that Honda is in the same league with other makers..
I know lots and lots of people love and desire for Honda. I think they say 'do not enter bikes on express, but people still go ahead and ply bikes on the express despite the warner given.
About the tire pulling out, I am still a young growing man, that pulling of legs while the car is on motion is the only problem I see Honda are not good in. Well, my popsi work prove that to me. Hondas has the best air condition ever for me ooo.
Finally, nobody knows what tomorrow holds....

Most of the people saying Honda is not good and keep complaining about how the ball joint removes, i want to believe that’s their own fault
Nigerians normally don’t have a maintenance culture..
My first car was VW jetta 2001 model. The car was a beast on the road, i used it to 3 years and i never had any issues with it. Now I drive a 2014 honda accord, i have been using it since 2016, and i can tell you i have never experience any ball joint removal or any faults at all...
when I wanted to buy the car then, i was contemplating on buying a Nigerian used one, but my mechanic said something that really got me.. like’ bros the worst tokunbo car is better than the best Nigeria used car... i almost fainted...but today i am enjoying the honda and i am a regular traveller..
Toyotas are just being over hyped with empty interiors..
Honda V6 engine?
