Car Talk › Re: I've Had It With 4-cylinders. by Bsideboi(m): 4:00pm On Oct 09, 2017
Jagermeister:
Greetings Lads, (and) Lasses who hang with the Lads here.

Y'all remember the ever-so popular Club-lexus? Well this is another Lexus-praising thread and primarily to say 'I RESENT 4-CYLINDERS'

I've been there and back in the past with the Opel and their ecotec engines and complex electronics, the Mazda 2.5L V6, the Lexus ES 3L V6 VVT-i and the Camry(s) which I still own (for now)... Albeit only a handful but i've come to a convicted conclusion- naturally-aspired or not, 4-cylinders are CRAP, humongous CRAP. They rank within the lower strata of internally-combusted automobiles.

Here's why I think very little of them (now) in a somewhat short description. Ride quality is sacrificed (for the most part), Vibrations are ever-so present, noise sipping out into the cabin as you drive along and it's nowhere over with it's flaws. I can't live with these, not anymore. Need I mention Power and Torque? Yes, in the next line.

I remember when I was made to drive into and through a flood within Festac extension (before the roads were tarred). I don't know how to calculate distance but my Lexus V6 was submerged in water for well over 30mins. I couldn't go any faster either, who struts the gas pedal when inside water, not to mention the invisible portholes and mini-ditches by virtue of the damaged roads and heavy rains. I could see water leveled atop my windshield (no exaggeration).. With all the torment to the car that day, car drove flawlessly for another 3 years before it was sold. Try that with the Toyota Camry 2.4L (which I currently own) or a Honda Accord of the same engine displacement.

Yeeaahh I know the 4-cyl/6-cyl analogy/debate is popular knowledge and I'm aware of the 'different strokes for different folks' notion but Damn! Nigerians are afraid of a lot! I recently met a well-dressed-seemingly-smart-man at a gas station and I found him not to be smart in the end when he mentioned his fears of a V6 engine. Afraid of a V6 engine? His reasons were ludicrously alarming and I prefer not to talk about it. It's this sort of people that would say 'my vehicle's 120km/h is faster than your vehicle's 140km/h'.. Haha.

Now for the Lexus? I can tell, yes I can. Having befriended other car brands, I've been laid flat on my face and whipped with the rough end of a pineapple, I underwent perpetual misery with the Mazda and the Opel, or maybe I knew very little then.. Reliability, safety, luxury, ride quality, and even ergonomics IMO, et all. Hmmm. Lexus wins.

Earlier this year, I sat in the cabin of a 2014 GX460 and it was a 'wowser' even though I didn't even drive it. I don't know of an MB of it's class that has better luxury and attention to detail.

Caveat- We know a 4-cyl can be made to be as powerful as a 6-cyl or even an 8-cyl but I don't fancy the general feel of the Turbo either. That's not the point here anyway.

So now I'm swerving to a naturally-aspired 3.3L V6. The Lexus ES 330. Thank goodness it comes with a base V6 as Standard.

I can't afford to run multiple cars now so imma have to let go of my older Camry (I just over-hauled it's engine so I no kuku send the hediot car again)

Brewed thoughts are welcome.

Gazzuzz (A very good man)
Kingreign ( I dey vex for you)
EgunMogaji ( The man that has owned 300 cars and hopes to make it to 500, the Nigerian-Americana)
Nurey ( Long-distance driver? Not sure)
Princetom1 ( Fire-fighter)
ExInferis ( Mr Tesla)
Sultaan ( Isn't he the Nissan die-hard? Or not)
Diportivo ( Plays for Diportivo de La Coruña FC)
Luvinhubby ( This guy go get multiple side-chicks and he go dey claim Luvinhubby)
And all.
So cos you overhauled an engine u no send am again.FYI overhauling an engine returns it to a near new state except it was done by someone dat is not sure of what he's doing.#Peace

Now to all those claiming bad gang, prison is not a place to be at all, police are even looking for poeple to keep there
How about the ones there for crimes they know nothing about ? You need to visit a prison and have a word or two with inmates.

Nigerian leaders corporate and public office holders earn so much yet do so little.
Look at all those top corporate management staffs riding in cars costing 18million, living in mansions on the island and you begin to wonder who pays for all these luxury.It has become a case of since you make the policies,you give all the good things to yourself and outsource to companies they own and pay the drivers and security guys peanut.
