Car Talk / Re: Is Toyota A Better Company Than Mercedes? by conductor259: 12:30am On Feb 24, 2020
As far as this our earth is concerned, the worst of Toyota; the least, barest, smallest, cheapest, lowest trim of Toyota Corolla ever made is going to be more reliable, dependable and stronger than the most expensive shitbox Benzedes will ever manufacture. cheesy

Ps. Benzedes is closer to Nissan on Consumer Reports US reliability list 2019 down there. Is it not safer to compare yourselves with number 14-ranked Nissan rather than jumping 17 places to be fighting and killing yourselves over Toyota that doesn't even know you exist at number one position.? cheesy

Benz actually started making cars with tiptronic around 2000.
You know Benz is always ahead with such features before other manufacturers will follow.
Was surprised then to see OBD port in my 1986 190E.

Small boy. I have small time let me troll you wink

What Were The First Production Vehicles Equipped With OBD2?
The list includes the 1994 Chevrolet Corvette, Buick Regal 3800 V6, Toyota Camry V6, Lexus ES300, and Toyota T100 pickup with the 2.4-liter four banger.

Also included are the 1995 Chevrolet T-Series pickups, Chrysler Neon, Dodge Stratus, Nissan 240 SX, and Nissan Maxima.

OBD-I
The regulatory intent of OBD-I was to encourage auto manufacturers to design reliable emission control systems that remain effective for the vehicle's "useful life".[citation needed] The hope was that by forcing annual emissions testing for California,[citation needed] and denying registration to vehicles that did not pass, drivers would tend to purchase vehicles that would more reliably pass the test. OBD-I was largely unsuccessful,[citation needed] as the means of reporting emissions-specific diagnostic information was not standardized. Technical difficulties with obtaining standardized and reliable emissions information from all vehicles led to an inability to implement the annual testing program effectively.[citation needed]

Holding down 'Off' and 'Warmer' for several seconds activates the diagnostic mode without the need for an external scan tool. Some Honda engine computers are equipped with LED's that light up in a specific pattern to indicate the DTC. General Motors, some 1989-1995 Ford vehicles (DCL), and some 1989-1995 Toyota/Lexus vehicles have a live sensor data stream available, however, many other OBD-I equipped vehicles do not. OBD-I vehicles have fewer DTC's available than for OBD-II equipped vehicles.

1. The First Auto Manufacturer to Use Tiptronic Transmission was Porsche

While different forms of semi-automatic transmission systems have been around since the 1930s, the first tiptronic transmission debuted on the 1990 Porsche 911. The German automaker developed the system as a way to deliver an automatic version of their flagship car without compromising their reputation for outstanding performance.

How can she ship a N1.5m overused shitbox to UK. Even the shipping and the import duty alone will likely outweigh the 2.5m naira they're selling the shitbox in toks.

UK drives right-handed vehicles. I wonder who ships a left-handed shitbox to UK.

Only a yoosless yoot that has enough time to be watching Big Brother will be as senseless to believe that nonsense.. cheesy

This used 2005 Toyota Tacoma is 6.2m. As a matter of fact, it will buy some people ML320 in ten places and still have 200k change for Benzedes ML fuel guzzling

Car Talk / Re: Toyota Tundra Or Tacoma ..... Help Me Choose by conductor259: 10:38am On Feb 21, 2020
radautoworks:


You need the tundra not the Tacoma. Tow/weight rating is more because you said you're moving raw materials and the ride is better in a tundra as it was also designed to be a people mover so your family will be comfortable in it. The Tacoma cab is small and anyone in the rear will be uncomfortable. Every other factor you mentioned is virtually the same between the two. Used to work for Toyota.
This is a very nice advice although he can still buy Tacoma and put hauling cart behind his car when he needs to carry so much.

Thay Tundra still too big for my eyes.

I actually think I prefer es... What's the best model to go for within the range of 2-2.5mil that is worth the value and also good for Nigeria road
With that amount you'll tokunbo get Es330 with change. Es350 you'll get that minimum of 2.8 for tokunbo.

You can still buy a Nigerian fairly used Es350 for lower if you don't mind.

Nice thread..
I am about to get my first ever car and I've fallen in love with lexus this past year.

With a budget of 2mil what's the best lexus car to go for?

I am actually a noob and don't know much about cars.

I need your help bosses in the house
SUV or sedan (salon car)?

As far as I know Lexus doesn't have bad car. It's not a brand where they'll tell you to avoid this model because the leg will pull on the highway, avoid this one, the engine is soft like baloon, this one catches fire when parked (like some European shitbox models), avoid this one it has SAMS or electrical or baloon shock issues. All Lexus cars are good but if you're not very financially willing in terms of maintainance, avoid the executive models like Lexus Ls, Gs, GX (Lexus Prado version) for a starter.

Start with any RX (SUV crossover) or ES (sedan). Make sure it's not seriously accidented abroad or converted from left to right. Also check underneath by yourself for rust.

That applies to all SUVs, because of their ground clearance.
Although there are some SUV that are balanced. Eg Rx350, Landcruiser (not Prado), 2nd gen Highlander, Venza and Rav4.

But you see Rx330, first generation Highlander, Tacoma, Hilux, those ones are way too high /narrow for balance.

Looks very ugly and awkward. Some will even put it on an 07 Camry cheesy.

I have never understood the sense behind these useless, cosmetic upgrades. If you so desire an upgraded version of your car, sell the current one and buy it. If you can't afford It, keep saving up till you can.
I swear. When they put Lexus-like bumper on 07 Camry, they start calling the car 012 Camry. Me, I'm looking at actual 012 Camry with no semblance with what they call 012 Camry and I'll be like "what the feck is wrong with these people?"

Carry your lies out of this thread biko
They went and put bumper with 300k on a 2011 car and now call it 2018 model. The thing always look annoying and abnormal when I see it on the road.

This is the disadvantages of allowing Benzedes people upgrading to Lexus. They should stick with that bullshit on their C300's not on this precious car.

Hi guys. Please I’m about to get a car, I want to use it for e-hailing. It’s going to be my first car and I’m in a situation whereby I’m confused on which to choose between an 03/04 Corolla, 03-05 Camry and 08 Elantra. 9ja used(Na wetin my money reach for now ooo)
Read a lot of review on these cars but I can’t come to reach a conclusion. I almost opted for the 08 Elantra. But I was told it’s parts are expensive ( compared to that of the Toyota’s)
Please your advice is needed.
You have two of the best, reliable affordable sedans you can get and you still want Kia (Hyundai) to show you pepper first. cheesy
