mrcoolautofix:
so the why are most Nigerian V6 phobic?
The same reason they are Toyota-phyllic,
We just take what mechanics and others say without doing private investigation.

I'd start posting my fuel usage here, both 6 and 4 cylinder.

My last car was a GS300 i6 Lexus


I currently drive a camry v6.2009.

I can honestly say I get better fuel economy than most of my friends with 4 cylinders. And the driving power is unimaginable especially when travelling.

Any reason you let go of the GS?

I said V12. V12 is two i6's, W12 is two Vr6. Only VAG uses a W12.
Unlikely

Nigerians and fuel economy... I'm sure if there was a 3cylinder car, some people will say it's better. grin
I've never had d opportunity to buy a V6. But my ideal ride would be a V6 +manual gear combo.

Very true! Case study 09-012 C300

I no gree this one

I’ve borrowed a friend’s Corolla, fueled and drove it for about 1 month interval, the fuel usage was way lower than what my c300 uses for same period

I was averaging 5k usage weekly while my car drinks 10500 minimum weekly

But still on still, I would not use my money to buy Corolla as my personal car for use except I wan dash my wife the car

Ok, chief.

Please how is the transmission of the 35 & 37, especially using the DS mode?
Cos after awhile it disengages from the engine.

RWD drives better. AWD is better for tricky terrain.
