Buy Volkswagen car especially Golf series.

Thank you for the advice. But I mentioned I limited my options to Camry and Accord.

Two years back I was in same dilemma.

No regrets with the Accord till date. Performance is fantastic. Fuel consumption is superb. Reliability is great, depends on how you use and maintain the car.

Should you settle for the Honda ensure to use recommended fluids, OEM parts (toks or new) and avoid bad fuel in order to prolong lifespan of its emission components.

Also have a personal scanner handy to scan for fault codes and avoid quack mechanics.

was it Nigeria used ??

honda001:

No...toks.

What I liked about honda was its underdog status.

I don't know which jazz Toyota used on Nigerians that warrants the hype the brand gets in this country.
2006 corrola 1.9 million.
2007 corrola 2.2 million. For those cans. Spits.


Now people are beginning to see the value of Honda and I'm scared it'll become the popular brand

Been using an accord 06 now for two years straight. Only problem I've had was due to negligence. Brake pads were worn out and I didn't notice. Affected the wheel rotors.


Aside from that, which was entirely my fault, not one single fix on that car for two years and counting.

sholarb:


No...toks.

My car is this same grey color. I wanted to get an SUV before but the way the pandemic slowed down things, I'd be sticking to the accord for a while.

The accord is already sexy but I want to love-vendor it up a little and make it sexier. I'm aiming to achieving this look.

Grey is beautiful...its my favorite color.
That above is similar to mine...EX-L model. The tint is cool and the wheels give it higher ground clearance.

Looking for higher ground clearance? The modification I did to increase ground clearance was change front struts to after market Monroe V6 struts and staggered rear tyres to 225/55.

I would have loved to install a DVD with rear view camera in mine but then I will loose some cool functions like trip computer etc.

I do plan to change the dashboard and interior door trims to wood Formica at some point.

Jaykizz:


I guess this sums it up. Most of my research says same with the points you highlighted. I guess I will go for the Accord. Thanks for the useful information.

What did you buy bro

BarrSly:


What did you buy bro

Not bought it yet but purchasing it soon.

I am going for the Accord. I plan to upgrade from 2008 to 2012 model .

I feel the 2012 is the best among the 8th generation Accord, since it is the most recent and problems from the earlier versions would have been corrected in the 2012 version.

Any thoughts?

Do you have an experience to share?

Same as you brother I am in a state of confusion but I am spreading my choices as I have started looking at the 07/08 Lexus Is250 . God help me make better choice ooo if there’s anything hard in this life it’s the process of choosing a car to buy lol.

I don't think the decision is that difficult to make. Every car is uniquely different and would develop faults uniquely, regardless of the model, grade, year and product.

Once a car can be adequately maintained, then it should pose lesser problems than that which lacks maintenance.

princeogbeide1:


Bro you are fuc*king correct... Honda too get level. They ship more Toyota to Africa than Honda because Honda has a better styling and last longer than toyota shit.. honda makes advanced body styling which is appreciated for decades

To complement u on Advance boddy styling:
More youths use Honda cars of 1990-1997
Whereas the Toyotas of the same years is common among old people in Western Nigeria..
Honda is more beautiful in exterior.

dicksonadams:
Guys sorry please what is an average price of use Honda accord 08...a seller is billing me 1.3m, 4yesrs,

I think it ranges from 1.1m to 1.5
Cos my boss bought one last year for around 1.2

You are right. Toyota doesn't pay much attention to their interior and exterior styling unlike honda which builds their designs ahead of the age..

hahaha...bro ur right, by time Nigeria are noticing some good things about Honda,the price may likely shot up.

The only con I have noticed (and this depends on the individual) is the front sits which are a bit hard and can cause slight pain on the lower back for some people while driving for long hours.

Asides the above, the car is very good.

Transmission is hale and hearty.

Performed an uneventful transmission drain and refill about three weeks ago after the notification minder came up.

Absolutely no issues, so far.

Sorry, what year of accord did you buy? I'm currently in the market for an Accord. Someone is offering me 2012 accord..

2010

Is the offer a Nigerian used or Toks?

Are there any differences between the 2010 and 2012 Honda Accord?

Jaykizz:

Nigerian used. There could be differences but I haven't taken my time to check them out..

.

amstamon:

Bros, no difference. I'm currently using a 2008 accord.
The only difference is the trim (ex, exl,..). If u get a better offer (less year used, affordable and bought toks), bros Bleep the year and go for it. A cheaper and a year used 08 is way better than four years used 12.
Jst make sure it has not seen much use and most importantly it must be bought tok.

are you trying to one can't get a good naija used?

What of leg pulling common with accord?

Not true...

Other things being equal, the first year of a car's generation is more problematic than subsequent years where the manufacturers have listened to complaints and made corrections to that generation..

Other things being equal, I will take an 07 accord DC over an 08 with it's plenty cylinder shut-down wahala and other new generation teething problems...this is because the DC embodies all the corrections made to that generation....So as long as I get a good specimen, I am home and dry

For any model I can afford, i try to go for the last year of such model...E get why
