Except that car parts gets worn out every now and then, originally Toyota is a mass production car, so a lot was stripped off to make it cheap and affordable, aside their suv

Honda is way better than Toyota, put sentiment aside, realistically Toyota is piece of junk, honda is superior both design features & what have you.. electronics hardware, software I am not saying this without a concrete evidence but your sentiment won't let you see the truth,

Acura they said is the luxury of Honda but that's quite not true in all ramifications cos the difference I see is that Acura are equipped with v6, the interior aren't better nor the system electrical electronics configurations

My comparison between ford 1998 & 2006 rav 4, ford have 198k miles on, no top cylinder head has been replaced

The Toyota is on 160k miles, engine has been replaced & ringed top cylinder head has been replaced twice.

I am affiliated to any of this company mind you, I am giving you facts from realistic standing point from fixing different car brands,

Honda car is better than Toyota
honda cv joint issues is due to poor maintenance,

Honda copied European car brands suspension system such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi,

Technically speaking replacing Toyota front suspension will take less than 10 to 15 minutes 30 minutes for both

Honda will take approximately 35 to 45 minutes 1hr 30 minutes for both,

If it's easily manufactured, it will be flimsy & ruin easily, if it takes time to built it's due to quality time invested to make it Durable at a long run.

Engine components
such as kickstarter, ignition coil, alternator, compressor, are not out of order, top cylinder gasket, piston rings, power steering pump,

How about drive shaft? Drive axe shaft? Front hub, tie rod, brake pad, brake rotor, cv ball joint, lower arm & bushings, motor mount aka engine seating, crankshaft, shock absorber, fan belt, piston rings,

Ask Peugeot, Ford, audi, BMW, Volkswagen Mercedes owners when last he changed these parts, ask Peugeot how many liter of fuel took them from Abuja to enugu with ac on 9 out of 10 406 is half tank,
Toyota cannot use half tank from Abuja to enugu, you be talking about 90 percent from Abuja or Lagos?

honestly Toyota was mass produced, so it will be dirt cheap & affordable that's why Ghanaian and Sierra loan takes Toyota for students car, due to it cheaply built & affordability.

Ask European car owners when last he changed these parts I listed, if he can't vividly remember its cos these car parts hardly worn out,


Funny you Toyota should be scared of overheat cos when it happens, you will change that junk engine,

Check car market shares history, if Toyota is a top notch car, it should be rated number one in shares, it sells more due to it cheap.

12,000 Tesla battery replacement is enough to buy you 2012 Toyota Camry, just trying to highlight the astronomical cost contrast,

Why is Nigeria considered a dumping ground? Is not cos of Volkswagen BMW or Ford but Toyota that hits Nigerian borders 80% are from written off from crash sold off at copart & auction export. Acidented cars,

I totally understand that many folks find it hard to digest the truth when it hits them, but deep down they know.

Finally look at your drive way, aside Toyota hiace name Toyota brands used extensively for commercial purposes?

To summarize that you don't know what you are talking about, I will bring to your notice that half tank in a Toyota Prado with dual tank is 90litres while that of peugeot 206 is about 25liters.

Half thank can be 15, 20, 25, 30, 35......litres depending on the car. You can't compare half tank of two different cars.

My car can go 400miles on a full tank but my parents car cannot. But my parents car has a smaller engine better fuel economy. The only reason my car can do that trip is because my tank can take over N10,000 fuel while my parents car cannot because of a smaller tank. 1k fuel hardly shifts my fuel gauge but 2k on the other car is more than a quarter tank.

Fuel tank is no basis for comparison.

Anyone capable of changing their own oil, tires and brakes will understand where OP is coming from.
The premium paid in Nigeria for the Toyota brand exceeds the value of the car.

Anyone who understands cars and pal run a vehicle through the most extreme environments will always pick a Jeep Wrangler and the premium for that brand had been earn with performance of the vehicle.

There was a grand tour episode in south America were Jeremy Clarkson stated that their Toyotas fell apart during the shooiof the episode but the jeep performed great. That statement came from the most regarded critic on the industry.
When someone who work on cars start saying ford might be a good alternative considering his experience fixing cars, they may have a point and it might be unwise/ expensive to dismiss that opinion.
Is paying N500k more for a car that will cost the same amount to own over 3 years with the hope of being able to sell for N300k more make sense.

If you look through out this forum and you see all the engine and transmission problem that exists it will be better to ask form someone that knows another way.
