You seem to know us first three posters well...

I know every regular poster in car talk and their choice. I admire people that are dynamic in thought and reasoning.

Your first car! The only car! Daily driver! . Dont start your hunting with elephants as your target. Start, learn and upgrade. Those German stuff are fun to drive but sometimes difficult to own if there is no alternative car.
I tell you money is not the only immediate solution to a troublesome car. Sometimes there is money, but no parts, at times there is no good hands to handle ur car. The first three posters are not honda fans, yet they recommended it.
Good luck.

If you want to buy Jaguar, buy TWO, when one is in the garage being repaired the other is with you.

I have 5 acres in Abaji. If you are intrested,

Bros, kindly edit the technical specification listed above. The horsepower, engine capacity etc.

Vocational students strive to become employers while academic students want to be employees.

Do we have a state governor without an armored range or bigger in Nigeria. If a governor in the desert with a million population, who can not even pay bills without allocation from Abj has a similar vehicle, BRF equally deserves it. My problem is if the invoice is over inflated.

If the car is not available, would your wife still go with her mom in a chartered car.
Act like a man. If you dont like confrontation, demobilise the car secretly at the last hour. If your wife is more concerned about the party than her car then there are problems.

Especially towards the northern parts of the country.
I travel between Lagos, Ph and delta. What a contradiction. Are u sure you need a car.
Lomomike is trying hard to help, it s difficult for him with your vague info.

Sultaan has given you the easiest way to get to the root of the issue, why dont you give it a try now and for future problems. It is simple and straight forward.

Whenever I see ' CAR TALK' topics on the front page I expect funny responses. This section is for experienced car gurus and humble people who want to learn new things.

You may have to try another cap, the seal under may be bad.

Dont do it, your engine will die prematurely, your car will consume more fuel. Dont go to that mecho again.

Congrats bro, did u say instead of water? You may not need to flush your coolant now, mine also came with green colored. I had flushed once and replaced with TOTAL. It s green, already diluted. It is N400 per bottle. Wait for
experts advice. Dont let them remove ut thermostat. Always seek advice from here and read more about it. Start buying basic spanners 10",11,12,13 and 14. Pipe, ring,socket and flat.They are not expensive,

@jonny, your tire will not pull off without warning. You could only be a victim if those signs are ignored. They are not expensive to replace. Ensure u buy original while replacing those items. People abuse cars, postpone minor repairs, buy cheap and fake parts and expect same to work fine. I can never be a victim of tire pull. When u get ur car, read extensively about it, go under and see things, ask questions. Most car gurus here are not mechanics but know how the stuff wotks.

It is a new technology, better than the old stuff. It is quieter, better gas milage and better performance. We as a people have problems: mechanics dont want to do any thing different just as we dont want to try other brands that are seemingly unpopular. Pls google and look for edmund reviews u will get a load of info. Cheers.

It is not impossible at 700k, but prepare for 800 to 850 so you can get the best. There are features in some trims of any car that 200k can not install, which u can get with just 50k added to the normal price. Most 99 models come with i-v tech engine with about 120hp. The road noise has nothing to do with engine or performance. My 98 model has 170k miles, I have never added a drop of oil inbtween service, A/c still working, and guess what it was a Niger used. If u have any other thing u want to know feel free. I wish u the best.

Bro, your front wheel wont yank off without warning and obvious signs. I have seen other brands with this issues. The key word is 'maintenance'

Solid and reliable. Cheap parts and low fuel consumption. Good interior and spacious than you think. If you can get US spec EX trim, which is scarce, you will love this car. LX is not bad as well but u dont have ABS and in- dash clock. The only minus I notice is road noise.

@justjeff,
if you mean 01 civic and above, I agree with u about issues. But 96 to 2000 civic are reliable, at less than 50% the price of this corolla. I love corolla and intend to buy one soon, but reluctant to drop my faithful 98 civic as a daily driver.
