These pictures were taken at terrible angles or maybe the camera settings were bad. They do not represent the true shape of the car. Below are better views of 2016 Honda pilot. If u ask me it is not bad at all and they still maintain the design language.

Car TalkRe: Automatic Vs Manual My Experience. by abatically(m): 10:45pm On Feb 15, 2015

Ikenna351 would not be happy about this....

I have personally seen a 2012 Peugeot 607 with 6speed manual tranny....

So what is this one saying!??

I love manuals, I love stick-shifts, autos are terribly boring to drive and are for sissy's....
So ikenna351 is god and we should all follow his lead huh? Everyone to his opinion. Moreover I don't think there's a 2012 Peugeot 607, I may be wrong though.
Car TalkRe: Why Are Nigerians Running Away From 607..please Tell Me Because I Want To Get On by abatically(m): 9:49pm On Feb 15, 2015
sultaan:
I don't really think it is sentiments when it comes to people like Ikenna and Siena; these are part of the very few Nigerians who buy car that inspire them not just go from point A to B like me and many other Nigeria.

Not many Nigerians like their A8 like Siena even when he gets a regular one he still modifies it into the exclusive type, a car most will admire but afraid to own.There is a Merz called the beast a V12 Merz very few Nigerians will buy because its V12 but they all admire it.

Knowledge of what most pay for is not part of the car buying process for most Nigerians.Always consider what a car costs brand new compared to the used value then if it meets your need a higher msrp car is a better deal than the lower one. Imagine someone paying more for a Highlander than RX300 or Accord than Acura TL and I see the choices being made regularly.

If one of those buyers described above question my choice of car I will be offended because I consider such individual grossly incapable of seeing the value some buyers look for.
U know why someone would pay more for a used highlander than a Lexus Rx, or pay more for an accord than an acura TL? because one is luxury and one is not. Luxury cars lose their value faster, it is even worse on European luxury cars than Japanese luxury which still hold their value longer.

If I pay more for a 10 years old accord than a 10 year old acura TL, it doesn't mean I'm crazy bro. That acura or that lexus RX probably has air suspension which costs more than 3 times to replace than a normal suspension. Same reason a used hybrid car costs a lot cheaper than regular ones. Luxury cars are best enjoyed when new, when they age they become unpredictable with all the technologies they carry. A regular car has less technologies which are less likely to fail, plus cheaper to maintain.

Ironically on my friend's crv says 30psi on the drivers door, but the tpms light stays on until u inflate to 40psi.

My question is this. Is the tire pressure dependent on tire size or we should maintain that's written on the door even if we altered the tire size ?

But you know that soon no manufacturer will release phones with kitkat anymore as soon as android 6 comes out. Google is really trying to discourage tweaking of android but I hope android geeks are always there for us beating them to the game. I desired root access and xposed module support is finally worked out for lollipop. Cos I might as well go and be using windows phone than for me to use android without root access or xposed module support
There is root access on lollipop, the only thing missing is xposed.

Car TalkRe: Advice Needed Pls: On BMW X5 (2002) by abatically(m):
lungwun:
I am just seeing this,

OP do not listen to those Ignorant people telling you to run just because they love the mediocrity of japanese brands.

The X5 you are interested in Is well within limits of normal ownership as long as you dont buy a lemon.
Inspect the car very well, have it scanned to ensure a good bill

In summary, Ignore GAZZUZZ, Chuka, nurey, abatically, and especially lomomike who is so childish he cant comment because he wasnt invited.
I never said he shouldn't buy a BMW, and I never said anything about Japanese cars either. I only advice the op to buy a newer model if he has the money. It is true that German luxury cars lose their value when they get old and can be difficult to maintain. Would I buy a 3 year old BMW x6? YES without blinking. Would I buy a 13 year old BMW x5? CAPITAL NO. However i can buy it as a second car but not as an only car. Those cars ate enjoyed when new, owners sell them off when parts start failing.

Let's all not lie to ourselves. BMWs are expensive to maintain whether u follow the manufavturer's procedure or not. Even in the USA where they have specialists, only the rich buy them and they buy them new.

This your post wants me to change my mind oo.. I am planning to sell of my m7... I love upgrades though....
I used my m7 for one year without rooting it, I mean I had no reason to, everything just works and there's no single lag memory management is the best I've ever seen (even better than my LG g3 with 3gb of ram). I wanted to upgrade to m8 but saw no reason, the m8 is just too big and not worth it IMHO. I already had an LG g3 with 5.5 inches screen and it looks smaller and lighter than the m8 with 5.0 inches (m8 got too much bezel). I only recently rooted my m7 in order to get lollipop on it.

The HTC one m7 is just the perfect size and I wish OEMS will make more flagship phones with 4.7-4.8 inches .

Where's d screenshot? I also use an s5 want to see wht it looks like I would be upgrading later this weekend. And I also want to ask. Did u use a wifi in the upgrade cos I heard it exhausts data.
You are downloading an entire os upgrade, not some minor update, so hell yes u will need a lot of data. The file size for galaxy s5 is about 1gb plus. So better look for WiFi, or u must have at least 2gb of data on ur phone to download with mobile network.

Alternatively u can use etisalat pay as u go. If u have good signal in ur area u might finish the downloading within 1hr which will only cost N180 to download the whole file.

Nobody? That's tragic...
If u have not upgraded yet, then what are u waiting for? Lollipop is sweet and I guarantee u won't want to go back to KitKat. I been using it on my LG g3 since November no issues. Upgraded my HTC one m7 about 2 weeks ago and my phone looks like a new phone. The HTC one m7 on KitKat was flawless, smooth with no single lag, but lollipop adds lots of improvement with improved battery life and other features. Don't be on a long thing, upgrade ASAP.

Car TalkRe: Advice Needed Pls: On BMW X5 (2002) by abatically(m): 8:55am On Feb 10, 2015
The price of a 2002 BMW x5 is cheaper because most German cars (especially luxury cars) are enjoyed when still new and they lose their value when they get to a certain mileage. This is why most owners tend to sell them off when they exceed the warranty period or when they reach a certain mileage because it is not easy to maintain when parts start failing. It is not a secret that German cars are nor reliable, the BMW x5 is a good example.

So op, if u have money I would advice u buy a newer model, if not well follow ur guts. One of the reasons I respect the Lexus RX, 16 years later and it is still selling strong.

Car TalkRe: Which Car Has The Coolest Air Conditioning System? by abatically(m): 5:07pm On Feb 07, 2015
chillex8:
People will see question and decide to rephrase it to suit their responses..
Dude I understand the question. If for anything u are the one that tried to rephrase the question by changing it to 'which car has the lowest temperature'. You must be one of those that think a car with good ac must have the whole windows and windshield covered with condensation

chillex8:
But have you tried volkswagen, especially the passat model?

That is the true definition of "MORTUARY STANDARD"

Even on sunny days, the windows are blind due to the over-chilling effect.
Who needs mortuary in a car? Are u a corpse? what we should be arguing is the car with the best climate control.

That condensation occurs on the window and windscreen does not mean the ac is working normally, a car with superb ac doesn't need to have condensation on the windows at all. And that a car ac has its lowest temperature at 14 degress doesn't mean the ac would be cooler than others that has the lowest at 16 degrees.

Car TalkRe: Which Car Has The Coolest Air Conditioning System? by abatically(m): 8:35am On Feb 07, 2015
Of what good is an ac without a good climate control? I can't believe some people still think having mortuary standard ac in the car means the the ac is top notch. And some people still think if ur car ac doesn't cause condensation on ur windows then it's not chilly enough (lmao). Anyway, whatever works for u, my car, a Honda accord EOD has a superb climate control, a single water has never condensed on my windows, I can't say its mortuary standard because I control how cool I want it to be and it does its job come rain come shine.

Someone tried to sell me a car sometimes ago, he boasted that the ac is a beast, bla bla. When I went to test it I found out the compressor doesn't even regulate. Within 10 minutes of turning on the ac the whole windows got steamed up, to the point where iced blocks started coming out from the ac vents. the climate control wasn't even working. To some people that is what they call chilly ac.

Oh and lastly, forget the 14°c that is written on some cars, it doesn't necessarily mean the temperature will get to that.and some cars have 'low' as their coolest which means it gets as low as the cooling system and outside temperature would allow. The 14° is just a gimmick, don't be surprised some cars set at 19 would be cooler depending on the climate.

I use an LG g3 android phone. The editing was made on the phone using the built in quick memo+. Just click quick memo+, it will automatically capture the screen and right there u can do the editing, draw and write whatever u want on the page.

My Oga, u really went extra miles. Dis is one of things dat made NL sweet. Thnks 4 your great response.

Tho' I hv an android phone bt I actually prefer doing my heavy mailings/attachment work on my symbian phone simply cos of low data consumption.

Dis funny UI just started suddenly a few back back. It's so annoying now dat every click is prompting u to log in again & again.

So what did u think could be wrong?

Thnks once again.
Confirmed u are using an older version of gmail without the attachment button. If my guess is right u are using opera mini browser which compresses data, hence its taking u to the lighter older version as the new version is more polished and requires more data.

Try another browser, or copy and paste this into ur browser.

Clinton594:
about that NFC stuff.... I've tried beaming two phone severally Buh to no avail.
How's that thingy used sef ?
I've googled and googled + goggled x googled. Yet nothing
Who has used it before?
That thing works on some phones and doesn't work on others. When me and my spouse had a galaxy s3 we use NFC to send pictures, web pages and even large videos. Just touch the back of the phones and beam, the transfer is faster than Bluetooth. But then when I got my lumia 1020, I couldn't use NFC to send pictures between the lumia and Samsung, but I can use it to send a web page between both phones. Let's say I opened a page on my lumia and I want to open the same page on my Samsung, just touch the back of the phones and click accept, within a flash I will have the exact same page on my Samsung.

Now I use an LG g3 and HTC one, I've tried countless times to share files through NFC but it just doesn't work between those 2 phones.

One way that I'm very sure NFC works though is with NFC enabled speakers. It's easy to pair, just touch the speaker with the phone and they are connected, then remove ur phone, play music from ur phone and listen on the speaker. Also it can be used to make payments and open hotel doors (not yet applicable in Nigeria). NFC has also been used in cars to open the door with ur smartphone.

I really don't understand ur query. The attachment button is there like the picture below. Maybe it's ur phone though. I don't think u can do anything about the ui since it is Google that changed it. Why not use a gmail app? If u don't have that then better get a better phone, or use a computer to send ur mail.

Another thing to note is maybe u are being directed to an older version of gmail which doesn't support attachment. One of the main reasons u are directed to the older version is if u have a slow internet connection. Try connecting to another network, then clear ur cache and relaunch ur browser.

Car TalkRe: Help Me Choose Between Honda Accord 2005 (DC) And Toyotal Camry 2008 (muscle) by abatically(m):
FlyboyZee:
They are not. If you own the 2 cars (EoD or DC & Muscle), you will find yourself driving more of the Honda. The muscle might be a more recent car, but the EoD/DC is more pleasurable to drive. Moreover, the 08/9 Camry is very very bland, especially the ones with I4 engines. Belief what you may, say what you like, call me all the names there is, One thing I know for sure is that the EoD/DC is a better car than the muscle because I have used both. IMO, the EoD/DC is a driver's car while the muscle is a passenger's car.
Bros, nobody is saying EOD/DC is not a drivers car, I own one. But pls defend this fallacies

1. That a 2002/acura TL is more advanced than 08 accord and 2011 Camry xle. The 2002 acura TL is just a baby boy with extra features being a luxury car.

2. That we should be comparing an EOD with a 2015 Camry. Dude can u pass me some of those things u are high on? What is so special about EOD/DC? It was a good car in its generation but that's it. Have u ever seen a 2015 Camry? Its more aggressive, faster and comes with all the latest technologies and only a 2014 accord can stand against it. EOD my foot. What is there in an EOD anyway.

OK vs 2015 Camry is an overkill but why would u bring that in the first place. Against a 2012 Camry EOD is still no where to be found. The ex of that thing doesn't even have a decent head unit compared to 2012 Camry. No apps, no USB or iPod connection (unless through a mod), no Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc.
