I agree with you. Haven't really experienced the Avalon except from the few rides in a colleagues own. What struck me was how spacious it was.
Frankly speaking, apart from the reasons you gave up there which are valid, what even inflames the Toyota followership is this word of mouth marketing by other users.
I remembered when i mentioned Volvo to some colleagues, they all screamed as if i had just committed a sacrilege they all echoed it must be Toyota. It is this herd mentality that annoys me.

Speaking of Nissan, whats your opinion on Nissan tiida/versa. Was doing research on it but i heard transmission and engine problems

I like Volvo's. The new ones though (03 and up models). They had nice designs. Would buy one if circumstances permit.

I have never been inside a Tiida or versa or known anyone who owned or used one.

However, lots of companies and some individuals bought it and I still see them around.

The body holds up better than the Honda city that was their competition. It's a Nissan. So it will have Nissan problems. However this can also be compounded by 'our maintenance' culture. Where dealerships service vehicles with wrong engine oil spec and ATF spec. It is shocking what I have seen in some places. Most of these tiidas/versas were serviced at dealerships as they were bought brand new. So it all depends on a lot of factors.

Haba! Nissan infiniti why one go waste money? Rather buy SMART or Chevrolet... and know that my problem is luxury one... few days or time car is problem free, people go feel me.... not Nissan that will be approaching, Naa Fan people go first hear before dem sight car... na landhoover or land Chopper e be jare

. All cars with fans connected direct will announce their arrival with howling fans. But some are quite loud and I give it to VW, BMW, Nissan and Mercedes on this. They come in sounding like jet fighters about to take off.

You are absolutely right about the body integrity. Thank you for your time. I very much appreciate it

What was your experience with the Toyota Camry?? I intend getting the 2007 model but people are against it. Did yours give you mechanical wahala? What of the oil burning issue??

The first thing you should notice is the speed, if it feels like it is dragging, then don't buy it. Those specs came with a factory fault in the turtle, so ti o ba le, dont buy. Your mechanic will notice it though if it did.

it was an around well behaved car, the AC can be a pest if it is not solid at point of purchase. When you want to test for AC make sure it is in the afternoon under sun.

The service was 10k Total engine Oil only, workmanship included.

You will have to do alignment's, wheel balancing and make sure your shock absorbers are good tho. The maintenance is quite cheap, only car cheaper is the corolla. The Honda evil spirit is like 15k to service

A V4 engine, V6 chops too much fuel and its not worth it for short distances except you will be traveling with it a lot.

The Camry is reliable and the sound is system as a bonus is on point too

Wow really in-depth I appreciate boss

Bros, it is not just words of mouth ooo, in developing country like Nigeria u needs to be careful of technology u purchase to avoid tears.

I'm using Peugeot and i know how painfull it is to use uncommon or technologically advanced cars in Nigeria.
If u have minor challenge in an unfamiliar area, u are in trouble. I remember one occasion i was traveling and my exhaust got broken, the noise was very unbearable so i branch to nearest auto workshop around. Those idiot claimed they can fix it until when they loosen tbe exhaust to fix the damage and installation became serious problem, they started murmuring that if it was toyota it would have been easy, they called all other mechos around, non can fix it, they damage the exhaust sensor etc untill they all find away to decieve me to take my car away. It was until i got back to my base that i realised they v damaged so many things and they fixed the exhaust in a wrong way.
imagine if it was toyota or honda, I'm sure i will not v this issue no matter the model.

My first car was 2003 ford explorer i bought it 2015 nigerian used with gear problem ,i bought it to change the gear but when i went online and did some research i found out that the problem was bad atf oil by useless nigerian mechanics that dnt have time to read , so i bought the motocraft atf oil change the oil and the gear cameback as new all the check transmision and over drive light disapeard even the big noise when engaged gear all disapear now i have used it 5 good years of not changing of any parts apart from oil, infact i love this car so much and even with its 8 the fuel consumption look some as sienna, but what i love most is the movement power even on road lx300 and highlanders etc dnt see my back...i have driven many of my friends corolla and matrix and i doubt if i can buy them cos their acekaration so poor although people said its because i started with v8, but regardles of fuel issues i cant drive 4 cylinder....i love my ford and many of my collegues has bought more of ford explorer although higher models cos of their experiences with mine cos the car was just for everyone uses in the office and has gone maidugri 15 times still no shakin of parts or changing of any....i just bought my wife 2007 ford focus oh men this one is blessing in fuel economy even my inlaw has testify that this focus is better in handling and fuel economy than his 2004 corolla and also faster than his corola too he just orderd 2007 focus too from auction export, what am looking to buynow id ford flex 2013 ecoboost

That year......
My first car was VW Beetle.
Bought it in my 3rd year. It was talk of the town because of the sound system I put in the car. When I was rolling by, people would think it's a big car because of the loud thumping sound.
The car was later known as "that white beetle that has badass sound"

deavicky:
Honda Hala nice ride. But as my first car with low income, I nearly turn mechanic. Later change to Camry 2000. Then I began to gain some weight.

The Camry made you gain weight....how?
