Is Toyota Really Reliable As Claimed? by AutoManual: 8:32pm On Mar 29, 2023
Almost of the cars that smoke on the road are Toyota from almighty Corolla to Camry and the rest. Metrix, puntic Vibe to Highlander. I'm yet to see honda smoking.

My approach to mechanic workshop all the cars there are Toyota from gearbox problem to engine failure. From ringing to change of engine.

The bag wagon of toyata make them feel pride and think Honda is shit.

Hondas are terrible. Was driving last sunday and only saw 3 hondas from alimosho all the way to ayobo down to Ait road. I know a man who has a abandoned his honda in the garage and now using a camry, i also know a colleague that sold his baby boy and got a camry of same year and he was always telling me how great hondas are so why change the car only to buy the toyota you claim is boring hahah.

Hondas are on roughly on par with Toyota.
Toyota just has a stronger brand and appeal to nigeirnas.
I suspect Accords of time past pulling legs didn't help their cause with Nigerians, who now believe all Honda pull legs.

Toyota is reliable. 
We have too many Toyotas on the road. 
It's like 100 Toyotas to two other brands on the road.The taste for Toyota is just too much.
You can get other brands if you want to look different. 


Despite the huge number of Toyotas on the road, you barely see them breakdown on the road. 
If it's a bad brand, we should see them breakdown regularly on our roads. 

As for the smoking engine, age and abuse could be factors.
I would have considered Honda, but the regular leg pull is a major issue with their sedan.I am not ready to be a sound engineer yet.

Honda's resale value is also terrible; it's a bad investment. 

I have been using my Toyota for several years now, and I still enjoy it. 
engine is very silent.
Every time I feel like upgrading, I always ask myself if I will ever get something as reliable as this.

I remember some time ago when I helped my neighbor sell a smoking Toyota with much rust.
The way people rush the car is unbelievable. One even offered to pay more just to buy it from the other guy. I doubt if this will be possible with another brand.

ur analysis is 5 years old.
Would have made perfect sense then. Although toyota is widespread, honda is closely becoming competitive as at today. When u see like 5 toyota, u must see 3 honda. And this only does not make toyota a more reliable brand. Honda has the best engine and thats like d cpu of every car. Other brands too are as well reliable. Dont want to type much tho!!!!

it's the high and bagwons we are talking about. It's good that for for honda lovers to that the price doesn't go up like Toyota.

Look at for Instance our Naira during the cashless economy people withdrawing 10k with 4k. It's because of demand that why anyone will reach a rusty car.

Like here is the east. People who don't know anything about car will tell you buy toyota. Or when you buy honda they will tell you why you didn't buy toyota. This are people who don't even know where the brake or acceleration is in a car. Just because of people are using it. It crate an atmosphere that other brands are not good. Even when you are riding Benz they will tell you Toyota is better.

The competition is between Toyota and Toyota now .
Honda is no longer in the race
Anyone on Lagos road will not say otherwise.
5 Toyota and 3 Honda, maybe somewhere outside Lagos.
I am using Toyota because I am enjoying Toyota and I will not mind moving to another reliable brand.

Bad investment is the easiest road to poverty.
Anyone who understands the basic rules of addition and subtraction will not make the wrong investment. 
I will never buy a car that will lose 50% of its price under 2 years.
Whatever rocks your boat Bro

Toyotas are reliable, Honda's are also reliable

The problem is the mentality of the average Nigerian

Always go with the most popular

Toyota are reliable, so reliable that their value holds up better than some luxury brand names like.... Make i no find trouble.

This is not a Nigerian thing either. In America, Australia & Europe, Japanese cars are generally more reliable because they are less complicated, boring and they stick to their winning formula.

Toyota is amongst the top 3 most reliable car brands for years. The best selling car in America and the world at large is the Toyota Corolla which is also the most sold car in history with over 50 million units since 1966.

All these figures and accolades are verifiable facts and statistical data compiled over the years from across the globe. Honda is also very reliable and always on Toyota's tail but some little issues with previous models in the past put them behind. If these cars weren't so good their sales figure will show it .

Toyota ranks 11th in Forbes most valuable companies in the world, the next auto brand is Mercedes Benz at number 23.
