Car Talk › Re: What Is The Purpose Of Revving Car Engine For Some Minutes Before Driving? by 9icetoo(m): 9:51pm On Mar 09, 2022 |
paix: Apart from warming the engine in cold environments, it also prepares the car for better performance by blowing out some carbon deposits in the cylinders and the exhaust pipes that might hinder the smooth running of the engine.

Digatron: Good day gurus in the house. I need advise on choosing an SUV. Budget is 3m to 3.5m Key point: reliability, easy to maintain, RUGGEDNESS and high resale value. Am having in mind lexus rx300 2003, Acura mdx 2006, Honda pilot 2006 but still open to any recommendation.
CC Everyone I have an accident free low mileage tokunbo 07 rav4. The rx300 is too old. The 2006 mdx is okay. Stay away from really high mileage units. Transmission issues surface as they get older. The 06 pilot seems okay. Same concerns with the mdx though. All the best |

BobPRESS5: A woman had a break failure and and swerved straight and caused this damage. It was terrifying but no life was lost. She should pay for the complete damage or pay what she can afford! How do you sort issue of break failure accident? The road traffic act mandates all vehicles to have third party insurance. Third party insurance takes care of issues like this to a certain amount depending on your insurance provider. This question would be mute if she has third party insurance and not even be a topic for discussion if she has comprehensive insurance . She should contact her insurance company and not subject the owner of the other car to undue stress. |

maekhel: I'm also considering Acura MDX but I read somewhere on Nairaland that it's expensive to maintain.
I haven't really checked out Santa Fe, is it a better option?
Thanks. The mdx has more maintenance items than the rx350 of the same year. However, it is cheaper to buy. So what you save in purchase you out towards maintenance. But it is super reliable though. |

maekhel: Hi Nairalanders, currently planning on getting my first preferably foreign used and I'm thinking of an SUV because our roads. My budget is 3m - 3.5m.
Amongst the options I'm considering is Hyundai ix35 (don't know if it's even 1st car worthy) but looking though sites like jiji, can't seem to find foreign used.
Thanks in advance. I have an 06/07 rav4. Toks. Accident free. Low mileage. Close to your budget. You can contact me on my signature or check the car out on this link. https://www.nairaland.com/6853902/2007-tokunbo-toyota-rav4-v6 |

lexini: Good evening guys
2014/15 4Runner vs 2014 /15 highlander vs 2012 gx460
I know the highlander is a durable car and all cos I’ve owned the first gen highlander and my wife currently uses a second gen. Considering the 4Runner and gx cos it won’t make sense having 2 highlanders
How does the 4Runner and the gx handle? Does the 4runner have 3 row seats?
Which drives the smoothest? Which retains value most? Which has more power?
Fuel and maintenance costs aren’t much of a consideration for me…
Thanks in advance
Heavenlybang Nurey Kingreign 9icetoo The gx460 drives smoothest, retains it's value and has the most power of the three. So go for the gx460. |

OP assumed the corolla was racing him OP assumed the old 504 was racing him OP assumed his Chrysler is a 1000hp behemoth that a Corolla cannot best.
OP thinks a 50 year old 504 is as powerful as a 2006 'modern' corolla with better fuel and power management than the carbureted Peugeot.
The v6 504 (apparently not what the OP saw) has a maximum hp of 136hp. Almost same HP as a base 1.8l Corolla!!!
Let's assume OP saw the 4 cylinder 504 (this has a max output of 104hp. Can you see how absurd it is to think this 104 nutter will outpace a 126hp jalopy?
Let's even go back to 0-60 basics.
It will the 504 i4 in a very good condition 14 seconds to hit 60mph. It maxes out at 156km/hr.
It will take the 2006 Corolla 10 seconds to hit the same speed and it has a too speed of 184km/hr. A good 30km/hr faster than the 504 which will take donkey years to get there.
Some posts are just so dumb you wonder if you were in primary school all over again.
It's alright.
I been no wan talk but men. Grown men should do better.

nzechu: the crv, the rav4 and the Tucson of the same year, which is more rugged and durable, fuel efficient, and the speed too Fuel efficiency and speed do not go together. The faster you are, the thirstier you are (most times). I'd pick the rav4, then the crv before the Tucson. |

datola: I think it is required you get a valid Lagos Road Worthiness certificate only from Lagos since your vehicle license is registered in Lagos.
If your number plate is Ogun or any other states apart fom Lagos, the Lagos VIS system should not be able to capture you except the (two) states have been integrated.
Meanwhile, that Lagos traffic offense capturing system is a welcome idea to deter traffic offenders. Cameras should be installed in all traffic light junctions. By law, you should be able to perform road worthiness inspection of your vehicle in any state in Nigeria. It is a federal parastatal. It is not domiciled in lagos. This is one stupidity taken too far by Lagos state government. |
