orgasticdance: To each his own. At the end of the day we all have our individual tastes/needs. PES15 suits my aesthetic and gameplay needs right now. I've been getting some ok to superb 5-6 games everyday on the pes15 demo and i've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Does it have its issues? Certainly. No game is perfect. Even my reverred NBA 2k14 get em own wahala. As I said, I am publisher agnostic and really don't care who or what company makes my games. I just want to feel like i derive good value for my time and money spent, and the moment I popped in fifa 15, it just felt like i was being thrown into the torture chamber all over again this year:Generic looking players, awkard player movement, cpu team mates clowning around like headless chickens during defensive transitions, stupid cheesy scripting implemented by the developers (that sickeneing feeling u get when ur playing on legendary and u know u have no chance against the AI, even if u r at home playing a team lower in the division that u should beat, predictably scoring on u at the 90 mins or 45 mins mark to create an artificial and unneeded air of realism. Something that should happen naturally if the gameplay were realistic and dynamic. In pes15 most goals the cpu ai score on me are usually down to my fault or some brilliant build up play( which usually adheres to reallife football physics). In PES u always have a chance, even on the highest difficulty settings, and even if u get thrashed u would have have enjoyed the effort. On fifa the AI just leaves u feeling robbed and frustrated. Key difference in my opinion.

If u find the AI too difficult then maybe u are not just good enough. Who even plays with AI these days when u can play online. if u think AI is too hard then try Ultimate team online .

Iamsynord: need this at d FP.mods pls

sultaan: Really!

When Nigerians see the new Camry and its technology they praise Toyota, but those things were available in the competition years ago.
When I bought my Ford Fusion 5 years ago it had bluetooth and Ford Sync standard which means I can call out a name in my phone book and the car will dial that person or read out text message to me or find the nearest restaurant, movies theater and give turn by turn direction to the place.It will run a diagnostic on it self and send me an email of the report.If I get in an accident the car will call emergency services with its location.
Now why will I pay more for a Toyota that will look really dated in 2 years?

You need to know all that is available in the market for you to buy with your money, not just the noise of marketers.

2003 Toyota Camry aka big for nothing sold in Asia and middle east have trims that come with bluetooth and navigation. It is in the USA that those features are trimmed and added to the lexus line. A 2002 Lexus es 300 which is just an upgraded big for nothing have trims with full package including Bluetooth and navigation. Moreover the reason Toyota sells so much is because of their good history of reliability. Consumer reports don't lie, so its not just a Nigerian thing.

enomakos: is that a tank?

a tank with tyre?

Yes its a tank, or call it APC. And don't be deceived by the tyres, it is an added advantage. Gone are the days of the BIGGER the better. That thing is capable of destroying a whole village. Meanwhile it is not a T-55 like Sahara reporters posted so I doubt the authenticity of the news or the picture posted. That is an ERC 90 which has an advantage over the classic chain driven T-55 as it is faster and can move on all terrains. A T-55 wil struggle to move on tarmac but will do well offroad. An ERC 90 will move on tarmac and offroad with a top speed of up to 95km/hr while a T-55 will struggle to move at 40km/hr.

This is a T-55

You can see it has no resemblance with the picture posted by sahara reporters. But don't be deceived, the one they posted is ERC 90 which is more sophisticated. It can even move in water.

olajide8: If that APC is that sophisticated and we don't have one in nigeria! Kai -are we truly the giant of africa? Or is it just gallant soldiers that we have? - because looking at the ability and capacity of that APC, mehn - we are finished! And if we do have it, that means it was part of the things stolen from our barracks, when those thwarts invaded them* can we start to look to buy more of those equipment it makes a lot of sense at least we have one now! We need like 30more-

You should do ur research bro, Nigeria is one of the countries that have ERC 90. That tank they posted is not a T-55 like they said, it is an ERC 90 so its either Sahara reporters are lying to us or they don't know what they are saying.

HARDDON: of all these u just reeled out thanks to google, nothing said about the tire? they seem to be the weak link in armored species of road riders.

of what use are all its fine points if it can be immobilized?

ever heard of run flat tires? Those tires are not ur normal everyday tires u find on cars. This ERC 90 is way better than T-55 which is old school. T-55 is only good in muds and rough terrains whereas ERC 90 is all purpose. Would move on tarmac and offroad. Using a T-55 on tarmac is not very efficient bro

Its either Sahara reporters don't know what they saw, or they know nothing about tanks, or they posted the wrong picture deceiving us. That picture does not in any way look like a T-55 armored tank. Below is a T-55 tank which is a lot slower and less efficient than the one they posted.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/T-55_4.jpg/300px-T-55_4.jpg

The one they posted is an ERC 90 which is more sophisticated.

So if boko harm came with T-55, why give us a picture of ERC 90? Or did they come with ERC 90 and the whole military couldn't even differentiate between the 2?

TeGaTeGa1: Please who has that pic that a funny Nigerian actor has his hands

ceslide: 14k

I need it. Where are u located at? I can pick it tomorrow

Omg I can't believe this. The driver must really have some balls to take that risk and averted what could have been a disaster. Big ups to the driver and the truck too.

How much for ps3

@op, if u have 2 million naira, which car would u rather buy?

1. Brand new KIA Rio
2. A tokunbo 2007 Toyota Camry or 2004 BMW 3 series

I don't understand u. No sane man would prefer a tokunbo car to a brand new car if he has the resources. However, if I have 2 million naira, I would rather buy a solid tokunbo car than a new one. Let's be sincere, u will never get a good brand new car for 2 million or even 3 million unless u want to buy a KIA Rio.

Another thing is preference. Let's say I like range rover sports, but I can't pay 19 million naira to buy a brand new one, but with 6 million I can get a good used one. Yes 6 million will get me a brand new SUV (Hyundai ix35, KIA sportage, etc. 6 million won't even get me a brand new rav 4), but not even close to what a range rover sports will offer. People buy used cars allover the world, its not just Nigeria.

willbob: Oyibo them mumu pass us o

How dem take much?

Abduletudaye: So you are insulting me while he gets all the glory abi ??

There is God

Not insulting u bro. Is just funny that some people don't read the article before commenting. Which one looks more scary, wearing a one eyed glass or adding cosmetic/tattoo to an already damaged eye to make it look more beautiful.

Abduletudaye: Is he mad?? Why cause more damage to it?? Smh for oyinbo..

SMH for black men with shallow reasoning. So what did u expect him to do? Go begging on the street because he has a bad eye that he can't even see with? I mean what more damage can be done to an eye that is already damaged. But then he thinks beyond and decides to use his disability to an advantage. He puts a tattoo in there and gets famous while most people here are criticizing him. Don't be surprised when u see him on TV. If u ask me I would say GENIUS.

jnrbayano: The tatooee and the tatooer's mental disorder needs an urgent special medical attention.

So profound is their disorder.

Help!!!

I don't think so. Did u read the article? The man had a bad eye, that means he couldn't see with one of his eyes as it was damaged when he was a kid. I really don't see a big deal in drawing a tattoo on an eye that is already USELESS. You think it is mental disorder, the man gets famous by being creative with something others would have called USELESS. Do u know what it feels like to move around with one bad eye? Would u rather wear a one eyed glass than draw a tattoo on one eye to make it look normal?

Morgan1092: Now dis is madness.
.
@Obinoscopy: y ban me for booking space wen i cd get as many accts as i want.

You see it as madness, others see it the other way round. I mean he got nothing to lose, the eye is already useless because it was damaged since when he was a kid and just remained white, he couldn't see with it. he decided to make something out of it instead of leaving it whitish. he draws a tattoo on it and by doing so he gets famous. He has used his disability to become famous.. now tell me where is the madness in that?

The baba olowo himself

Cityng, no doubt the Audi packs more gadget than the rx350, but let's not forget what the young man is looking for here. He specifically named his criteria.

Maintenance
Performance
Fuel consumption
Resale value

Based on the above the Rx 350 is definitely the right choice. It is more reliable than the q7. While the q7 might be more luxurious the rx350 is no slouch as it does everything a luxury SUV does to a considerable level being a mid size cuv. If he had said Audi q7 vs rav 4 or Honda crv or Honda pilot then I wouldn't even mind replying. If the op didn't mention maintenance, fuel economy and resale value then I might say q7.

chucky234: The 3.6 FSI Quattro V6 is the entry level model.
RX350 is cheaper than Q7 and X5 that is why the RX got more sales in the US market.

Cheaper by how much? At brand new maybe by $5,000. For used ones price are same or Rx even more expensive. A lot of times on car talk when there's a comparison between a German and Japanese cars some people just conclude that the German is faster without even knowing. I know German cars are generally faster and handle better than Japanese, but in this case rx350 is faster than Audi q7 and based on what the op is looking for, the Rx will be a far better choice. If he buys Audi q7 today and wants to sell it after 2 years, he will not even get half of what he bought it. For rx350, he will surely get up to 2/3 of the cost price.

chucky234: Bros Q7 is way faster than RX350, Q7 with 4.7L V8 engine produces 350hp at 6800rpm while the RX350 with its 3.5L V6 engine produces 270hp at 6500rpm.

I was referring to the 3.6L v6 of the Audi Q7 or don't u know they also have a v6 model? And if I may ask, how is the q7 superior to rx350? Audi Q7 with v6 produces 280hp while rx350 produces 270hp but the Audi is heavier. I don't know what u mean by saying they are not in the same league, both are capable SUV's but I'd pick the Rx. If the Audi is so superior then why are the sales so low compared to RX? And dont tell me it is more expensive because the price difference between a loaded q7 v6 and a loaded rx350 is about $5,000 msrp but the Rx kicks its a$s in terms of sales.

Also op was talking about fuel economy, that means he's looking at the v6 model because anyone looking at a v8 SUV wouldn't care about fuel economy.

sensisosu: Thanks.. but how about the fuel consumption, resale value, cost and maintenance?

Fuel consumption: big win for rx350
Resale value: win for rx350
Maintenance: win for rx350.

I would choose the rx350 over the Q7. That car does everything good and it is the best mid size luxury SUV money can get in my opinion. It offers everything at a reasonable price, Toyota reliability, good fuel economy and luxury. It might not be as luxurious as the Q7 though, also the Q7 might have more gadgets but it is a very heavy SUV, Rx350 is faster.

CityNG: It even goes further than that.

We also measure in feet and inches

PS: Does any other country follow daylight changing times?

If u mean daylight saving then yes, in the UK it normally starts in April and ends in October when their time is advanced by 1 hour.

Post this in cartalk section and u will get replies

CityNG: Here's the instrument cluster of MY09 Jetta, it's a world car.

The superior measurement is in bold and clearly labeled.

However, you can use VAGCOM to change the odometer readings from KPH to MPH and vice versa. It will auto calculate the correct readings and also indicate miles or kilometer on the odometer so that there's no confusion.

PS: Yes I need to detail my car, I've been neglectful and I hang my head in shame

I wonder why Americans don't wanna adopt the metric system as used in most countries. Miles instead of kilometers, °F instead of °C

lonelydora: When I was in Abuja I was making it in 1 hour any day I feel like driving like mad. Very possible

It is not possible. That road is not less than 200km. So let's say u are doing 200km/hr (which is very unlikely). Does that mean u can maintain 200km/hr for a whole hour? I'm not saying it's not possible to to 200km/hr on that road but its not possible to maintain it for even 20 mins. There are corners, vehicles in front of u that will make u step on ur brake, etc.

nurey: Yeah the odometer was rolled back, I sensed it when I compared it with the VIN report takes so if my engine oil says 5000miles to change then my odometer should be 5000 x 1.6 which will give 8000km right.

Yes correct. The maintenance required light in my accord doesn't come on until after about 14,000km. Honda reccomends 10,000 miles which is 16,000km. But to be on a safer side I normally do my oil change at around 8,000-9,000km.

nurey: Ok abatically I thought all cars have their km reading on the outside and mph on the inside.

My km/h is written boldly and bigger and on the outside and yes the car has DRL and it is from canada, but I need you to clarify it properly is the odometer reading of 92xxx and trip A 11xx in km or miles.
Also note my trip A and B reads with a decimal place example 1123.xx

Cars imported from USA have miles per hr on the outside and km/hr inside. Hence their odometer is measured in miles. It makes no sense to measure speed in km/hr and then odometer in miles. Canada use metric system, so their speed is in km/hr and distance in kilometers. So ur odometer reading is in km. But u can almost he sure that odometer has been rolled back. its not easy to see a 14 year old car with mileage of about 56k miles (92k+ km).

Below is pic of the same 1999-2002 sienna from the USA. This one has mph on the outside and km/hr inside, hence odometer measured in miles.

nurey: The car is from north america, it has DRL hence I think the MILES have it, all in favour of Miles say hi and those against Miles say nai. Lol

This is my Honda accord from north America with DRL. It is calibrated in kilometers, country of production is Canada.

9icetoo: OP, ur odometer and speed is in Miles. The kilometer reading is there for reference purposes. Your trip meters A and B and your total Mileage are all in Miles.

Look at it one more time. Km is outside while miles is inside. Km is written in bold hence odometer is in km not miles.

nurey: The car is from north america, it has DRL hence I think the MILES have it, all in favour of Miles say hi and those against Miles say nai. Lol

U are wrong. Ur odometer is in kilometers bro. The main reading is the outer one. Forget whether it has DRL or not, I can almost guarantee ur came from Canada not USA. Americans use miles while Canadians use kilometers, both are from north America. If u doubt post ur Vin number.
