Is Camry V6 A Good Choice? by ZaddyJamal: 9:02pm On Jan 23, 2021
Please guys I've been hearing alot of naysays about V6 engines. What are the major downsides to using a Camry 2005 with V6 engine please?

I'm a novice in auto discussions please but I'm looking to get my first car hopefully soon.

Poor resale value , poor fuel economy. Weight of the engine makes the front suspension more prone to natural wear and tear.

Upside is it is never stolen

Quote me anytime ...others are afraid of telling you this truth but I am not . V6 is the best engine for car ....forget about those ignorantly telling u it consumes fuel ...yes it only does that when your catalyst has been stolen ....those using 4plug would 've changed engine several times and your v6 kept going forever ....I have told you the best secret kept by auto sellers

you no lie bro. I bought a Nigeria used V6 Camry and used the car for over 2 years without single repair on engine. V6 engines last more than 4plug

Op
This is the truth. Follow this man’s advice.
Mech is different from car dealer
V6 is cheaper to acquire than 4plugs and the reverse is the case when u want to sell.
Yes v6 last longer but na one car u wan use forever? 4plug no Dey spoil except u r terrible at maintenance.
The purpose of the car is also important. Daily driving(4plug) or long distance travel?

Very correct, I told him one day that his not a mechanic but an auto technocrats, d guy is good at what he does and is always available to help when called... He didn't say v6 is a bad car he only told us d disadvantages...
Re: Is Camry V6 A Good Choice? by Promxy94(m): 8:18am On Jan 24, 2021
Sir Gazzuz has said it all.

I drive a 4plug of a lower camry but will love and want to test the power of v6 in a Big for nothing.

How can I check whether the catalyst is still intact or not please? I'm supposed to go and inspect the car this afternoon.

Good morning oga Gazzuzz and thank you. So the basic reason why I want to get a car is for daily work drives from Ajah to VI and back and then occasionally travels from Lagos to the east (Anambra & Abia) maybe twice a year.

Is it possible for the V6 to serve this purpose optimally and a reasonable cost compared to the I4 in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption?

The I4 are always so expensive way above my budget whether Tokunbo or Naija used.

V6 engines are good if they are in good condition... otherwise, it wears out easily compared to i4 engine

I don’t know why some people condemn V6

Do you want to be stagnant in life in choice of cars

You used.

Some people are prone to Camry 1999 model v4

This is 2021

Every cars are good

It depends on the way you used them

As for
Me I have never used 4 plug engine in my entire life

I prefer V6.

Engine last longer than v4

The Ac burst out with Moreno pressure than 4 plug.

So far V6 to me is the best

What if you are using Highlander 2010 is it v4

It’s equally V6 with turbo engine people uses them often and often.

One has to step up in life.

Poverty is really a thing that should be thrown away.

@op follow your mind

Have you ever seen where someone with no job advising someone with a good job to quit his job due to salary not been attractive.


Get a good technician to scan the car for you.

Once no much errors proceed jare and leave story.

The V6 engine lasts longer than V4 because the load on it is not much. I bought two of them at the same time but have sold the V4 because it started smoking. Please look at the pros and cons and make a decision.
