Wrong assertion.
Honda is more common up north. I still put it that peugeot is wrong choice especially 406 and 607.

406 is a good solid car. Would I choose it above a Camry or accord of the same year? NO (Unless I'm buying ta as a second car). 607 on the other hand is a very very wrong choice of car to buy. That car is a disaster.

Bros I need not give you any justification. Because my digital meters don't read shouldn't give you reason to prove this as a lie. Watch my fuel meter and tachometer. And for your kind information it's not my car. So I dunno how it developed that fault or whatever. It pains me to see dudes criticizing without having a good reason.

Oya come and defend urself. Just what do u gain by passing wrong information?

That's So Good,Hope Its Carries What It Measures..Good luck To The Buyers

It definitely does not carry what it measures. Forget all these marketing gimmicks. They can't even get 2gb of ram on their phone na 9,000mah battery dem want put. Good battery does not come cheap, just like fake powwrbanks in the market claiming to have 30,000mah but in reality they are not even up to 6,000mah.

. You Speak Like One of my uncles, He was an Educated Bush Man so to say.. He spoke fleuntly,but atimes made terrible suggestions and comments, that u wud just wana strangle him...... 40 yrs ago, u said a car that cost 3000 dollars in the US now goes for 25000 dollars 'note its still in thousands. Now let's put forces of demand, supply and inflation as regards to the high cost of vehicles in Nigeria. A Peugot 404 cost 4,290 in 1977, then PAN was fully functioning in Nigeria,it wasn't just a car assembly Plant, it was a car manufacturing plant with parts sourced locally. Fast forward to present Day, a vehicle of that same pedigree would cost as much as 4 or 6 million naira there about. You were busy talking of minimum wage without stating the obvious that your dear Country Nigeria is an Importing economy, hence our Money has no Value... A Man that could afford a Brand new car in the USA 40yrs ago, can still afford same at this present day even if it costs 30,000 dollars cos his economy is stable... A Man That Bought that peugeot in 1977 am sure at this present day can't even purchase a 1988 tokunbo Mercedez Benz V Boot cos Nigerias Economy is a Sham.. Infact we have no economy at all..... We Take our Oil to Britain, britain refines the oil and sells it back to us.... Minimum wage or middle class never destroyed Nigeria, It was Nigerians That Destroyed Nigeria.

U don't seem to get my point. 4,000 naira in 1977 is worth like 4 millon naira in 2015. Whereas 3,000 USD in 1977 is nothing close to 3 million USD in 2015. That a car was sold for 4,000 naira then doesn't mean it's affordable for everyone

My 2001 Peugeot 406 will take about 9k500 to fill it up. My cousins Toyota camry 2008 take just 6k to fill up the tank. I have a v6 baby boy, 6k will fill up the tank same goes for my Accord 2007 model. I don't like the 406 because it's feels too heavy while driving, and too many electrical, although it is strong. Bros, I'd advice you go for the camry. To be honest, I prefer my baby boy to the 406 talk less of the D.C or any other low range car iv driven.

Go for the camry and save yourself the stress. You get better a better fuel economy too

If u spend 2k to fill the tank of car A and that car travels for 500km before it runs empty, and then u spend 1k to fill the tank of car B and travels 200km before it runs empty. Which one is better?

Of course it's just an illustration. Thank size doesn't matter too much, what matters is the mpg it takes u.

I wonder where all these talks about having Peugeot comes from. Does saying the fact about something automatically means someone is hating? Smh. They are just cars, no need to get too emotional.

Accord ftw

apexquest:
sir, what about the constantly reported issue about the accord auto transmission

Not denying Honda transmission is fragile. But u have better chance of making ur transmission last longer by using recommended atf. Most people that drive Honda in naija use cheap atf which damage their transmission

Moreover the primera comes with CVT which is even more fragile. If ubxan manage a CVT, then no problem managing a Honda tranny.

kingreign:
e don turn to Q&A session?
Hehehehe. Honestly i know most of the answers but not all. I am also sure YOU dont know all. However, if i ask you anything in toyota/lexus/benz you go fit answer am?

Abeg no come start to form king of peugeot for here. Truth is bitter but lets say it.
Over 30million toyota owners in USA cant be wrong. Why peugeot no fit succeed inside North America?

Even PAN kaduna no sell much peugeot compared to toyota sold in wharf and Cotonu i am sure you know why.

Toyota rocks peugeot sucks.
I said so.

Bros u wicked oh. Just straight to the point, u no even try sugarcoat ur words small.

I'll choose the accord. Reason? Personal preference. I don't know much about primera, but I prefer interior set up of the accord especially the ex or v6. Oh and the v6 is incredibly fast too.the primera is a toned down version of Infiniti g20 sold in north america.

Firstly what oil did u fill it with? Secondly was the oil already very dirty and smelling burnt before replacing? U should only use Honda atf dw1 for ur car. Any other thing na trouble u dey find. Also once u find out ur transmission oil is already very dirty (due to negligence), its better not to drain it at all as the transmission might die once u drain the dirty oil even if u refill with recommended one.

N4,000 then is worth 4 million now. How much do u think was minimum wage then? Yes it is true naira no longer has value, but the minimum wage now is like 1000% more than what it was in 1977. A car that was sold for $3,000 in the US in 1975 now sells for $25,000 and above.

5,000mah is a kill, just what is needed in Nigeria. But having that much big battery without fast charging is still a step back. That thing will take forever to charge, I mean I once had an iPad with 6,000mah battery and it takes like 6-7 hours to charge from 0-100.

My s6 has 2,550mah batter (to many that's too small battery), but do I complain? Nope. First because the small battery gives the phone a slimmer and sexier shape. Secondly FAST CHARGING. That thing charges incredibly fast that I don't even worry when my phone gets to 10%. I can charge this phone from 10%-80% over lunch (in less than 20mins).

What if he finds www.nairaland.com/attachments/3084418_img20151117120259_jpegbf8deab36750248f593ab8b594d24477 inside?

Lol. Kazeems love to do that. I've seen that in at least 3 cars.

elusive2:
Dats not how the brakes work. I owned a D9 406.

NO.

It's either
1. The car's abs is not working, hence u probably have the abs ligh illuminated on the dash.

2. Or u are just ignorant and don't know how abs works. Pumping the brake when abs is equipped will only distrupt the work of the abs. U can as well disconnect the abs.

Ziggyzito:
there are so many factors involved. His brake pads must have been exhausted, low hydraulics or something. Coz I know how good the ABS system of a 406 prestige is. It's excellent. He probably didn't apply the brakes properly. In such situations, you pump the brake pedal, not placing your foot on it until the car halts.

Pumping the brakes in an abs installed car? Wow if that's how a 406 works then it is a very very unsafe car.

INTERMAN:
These people are no longer ashamed of themselves. They are now trying to legalise their profession and making it technlologically and social medially known. May God save us. See pics from his timeline displaying different fetishes including a boy carrying calabash with money littering the floor. He is demanding for more costumers

op, don't be deceived. It's a scam. I have a friend that once asked me to help him set up a 'babalawo' Facebook page and upload pictures of shrines, oracle, etc on his page. The guy is not too tech savvy so he asked me to help him. Is he a true babalawo? No. Does he know anything about spiritual things? No. He just wanted to scam people. He even talked about hiring friends to comment and give testimony.

I hate to. comment on this kind of thread, but I just have this to say.

I do not think Isis and boko haram are the agents of Antichrist. Why? Because they are just too brutal and with the way they operate, it is easy to fool people to think they are the agents of anti Christ. I mean if they are then they are fools, because they will only make people repent before the judgement day, hence more souls for God. I think the devil is wiser than that.

My observations though.

1. Either Isis and every other Islamic jihadis group are the stubborn religion stopping the Antichrist from taking over. The Antichrist will come in peace, pretending to make the world a better place to live. Isis and co are destrupring that.

2. Or Isis and co are sponsored by the real Antichrist (the US and other western powers) to destrupt the peace of the world. When this is achieved the real Antichrist will come in, wipe them out and claim world peace. It would be easier for people to follow their orders then, hence more souls for the devil.

The point is the real Antichrist will claim to being peace to he world, clearly Isis and boko haram ain't doing that. But it is likely that whoever defeats Isis and Islam will be the real Antichrist because people will follow them.

This just gave me a 75% info on who you are, and am guessing I am right, but your response will make it a 100%

Starts with a c and ends with a g.

Can you spot at least one difference in these 2 pix above?

Clue: Not necessarily on the Range.

I already spotted 3 differences. They are circled in the pics.

nurey:
The obd connects but doesn't connect to ECU, as that was the error it was giving by torque pro. I still used the scanner on toyota sienna it scanned but it refused to connect to the nissan engine ECU. But I don't have check engine light on infact I have not seen the check engine or what ever engine light problem it uses, whether the ignition is left at start, ON or whatever.

I have used fuel economy to guage whether the engine has problem but I couldn't deduce it because I was getting the calculated mpg by the manufacturer.

The only lights on the dash that load and switch off are Airbags, handbrake, battery and engine oil.

Most Nissan usw service engine soon instead of check engine light.

A sick man should cure himself first before considering his sick neighbour. Tell Phyno that we r still waiting 2 hear what he has done 2 better d lives of IDP in his country. pray 4 paris but my country needs it more.

Phyno shared this on social network during the BRING BACK OUR GIRLS saga. What did u do to show ur support?

bxcode:
Humanity is gradually losing its sense of existence to the point of self destruction, Nigerians are the greatest hypocrites on the face of this earth. Some of you celebrate haloween and observe foreign fashion and follow their perverted lifestyles and so on, but when it comes to the issues of extending a hand of condolence to those same set of people, we remember that it is inferiority complex, that we have boko harem with us and therefore no need to have sympathy towards others in the same situation. What is wrong with us When are wr gonna quit tribalistic and sentimental dispositions in our lives When are we gonna leave this if it is not my brother then to hell with the person mentality We ought to be ashamed of ourselves if we still really gat any atom of human empathy in us.
# am praying for France and the whole world in general. Hypocrites!!!

God bless u

I get ur point here... but d truth is... d white aren't as Crazy about us as we are about them.....#fact
Small time... Igbo boys go do d Shirt

You are wrong. This is not a case of being crazy about someone. If this happened in Somalia and for known by the international community, people would still say PRAY FOR SOMALIA or anything that's trending. We should all kick against terrorism no matter where its happening. Michelle Obama, P DIDDY, Kim kardashain all carried the bring back our girls PLACARD (is there any celebrity in Africa that is bigger than those?). Please leave sentiments out of this.

It is a BIG shame that phyno has unintelligent fans. It is even a BIGGER shame that nairaland is full of UNINTELLIGENT people and most are youth, the supposed leaders of tomorrow. I fear for the future of this country.

justwise:
God bless you!!!

Damn our people are so selfish. That is why we can never move forward. We only care about ourselves. They forgot the support the whole world gave us during #bringbackourgirls

abatically:
Omg really? Are u guys this dumb or what I just don't understand. The whole world should be against terrorism and what phyno did is absolutely right, the fans blasting him are the DELUDED ONES. Phyno only posted that image today, its not like he's gonna be posting it everyday. Seriously France needs our prayers right now , just like the whole world stood and campaigned against terrorism during the BRING BACK OUR GIRLS CAMPAIGN.

YES HAVE U ALL FORGOTTEN? BRING BACK OUR GIRLS. MICHELE OBAMA, P DIDDY AND A WHOLE LOT MORE CELEBRITIES CARRIED THAT PLACARD. HAVE U ALL FOEGOTTEN?

Seriously the #Pray For France of a thing is getting annoying... Sincerely there isn't anything bad praying for France... but d question is how many times has a French Man/Woman willingly upload on his/her facebook, Instagram/ tweeter page...#Pray for Nigeria...
We Africans are the one taking ourselves for granted... This Pray for France of a thing to a long extent still shows d gullibility state of some Nigerians.....
We've given so much accolade to d Whites, d@'z y they still come here and maltreat us

I don't care if theses cars are slow so long as they are safe, reduce the number of road accidents and take me from point A to point B without me touching that boring steering wheel, they are welcomed.

Overspending is dangerous, moving too slowly on the highway is equally dangerous.

king406:
a Japanese v6 will surely defeat an MB in city driving/race due to the heavy nature of MB, even the 550 models that have a 5.5 liter v8 take about 5.5secs to hit 60mph, a 3.0 v6 Japanese car will do that for u in about the same time because it has less weight. But on the long run, those japs don't stand a chance. Anything from 80mph and above, u will think that japmobile is reversing.. if u ask me, MB are not meant to be driven very fast like a maniac in the city, I think that drops their class, u are not even suppose to drive more than 70mph in the city and accelerate moderately, maybe that's all part of the German engineering , u wana race, get on the freeway or get an open road!

Why r u talking about weight like its a good thing. I thought car makers are doing everything possible to minimize the weight of their cars, hence the use of aluminum body (Audi) and carbon fibres in exortic cars. The lesser the weight the better.

Don't waist your money looking for Toyota to buy, why not look for Mazda or Nissan of the same year and enjoy luxury and comfort including reliability , Toyota is over priced and bland, Nigerian mentality sha, do ur research well, cheaper brands with availability of spare parts that will do better are available for u to chose.

Oga what r u talking about? Americans and other countries buy toyota more than Nigerians so I don't know which kind naija mentality u are talking about. As a matter of fact, most Toyotas in Nigeria are shipped from north america. So if those people don't buy them, then there won't be tokunbo to ship to Nigeria. Which car do u recommend for the op for 600k. I won't buy a 14 year old Nigerian used Nissan or Mazda. In fact I wouldn't buy a 10 yr old naija used Nissan altima. If it were to be tokunbo or brand new then it would have been a different ball game.

Ur best bet is to buy naija used. U CAN'T get a 2000 and above tokunbo toyota for that amount. Be it yaris, corolla, Camry, matrix , highlander, or venza.
