LordGuru1:
Let me teach you something called grey imports.
Google grey import cars. Don't end up full of regrets after buying a car that's not meant to thrive in Nigerian's temprate atmosphere.

You are extremely ignorant when it comes to hiw cars work.for the simple fact yoy mentioned temperature relative to how a car will work in Nigeria is a pure indication of you not having a clue. I'm a fully trained mechanic engineer with 12 years experience in the UK though I don't work in automotive industry but I work with facilities thy support the automotive industry .
The issue of temperature . Heating people removing thermostat have been trashed on this forum in the past its obvious you where not here at the time .

Look at this car Smart or four. It's a 1.1 engine . Beats every Toyota anyone can bring up . I challenge anybody

FSolar:
Lol,
1. Op is not in the Uk.
2. You didn't advise him to get the Ka.
3. You're now including power to your "firm stand" on engine capacity.

In conclusion, kindly read initial post and assist in op's decision making. Thanks.

Bro location is highly irrelevant to fuel performance . And what's wrong in buying the KA ? ?
You brought in FI cars I was marely dismissing ot as it has no bearing on the subject of the day

salford1:
Bros you can lie...lol

Thanks for this datas

FSolar:
In theory, you sound about right. He is here for practical reasoning and advice though.
You should assume two things:
1. He is a "Student" who has a target (budget) as he has mentioned "Honda".
2. He'd appreciate an economic advice as well because he has mentioned "12k" for fueling in a month.

The best advice should cover cost of maintenance and spare parts.

Let me dazzle your thoughts a bit.
DO YOU KNOW THAT F1 RACING CARS ARE 1.6l engines?

Bro my reasons are both practical and theoretical . In the UK Ford came up with a cheap car for students they called it the Ford KA . You can do your research on that . Regards F1 speed does not equate to power

ugoboss26:
Now that this is been discussed here, I'm going to throw my questions here, I am battling with the decision to buy either a 2006 corolla or 2006 EOD, please I need advice. I live in Abuja where there are good roads for those who might complain of the legs of the HONDA

If fuel is not an issue the EOD gets my vote

EgunMogaji:
A V5?

Yes some have V5 ie some passat

Nasamy:
But aspect of maintaince those I mentioned are the best

says who ? You got more fakes on the Japanese cars than European cars.fakes are cheap but cost more in the future . Buy original lower and upper control arm you won't ja e issues with your Honda ball join coming off .

nanizle:
The bolded is not entirely correct. The brand does matter! Compare a Toyota and Kia/Hyundai of the same year and engine capacity and you'll find out that the Toyota always has higher mpg!

Why? Simply because Toyota's automobile technologies (engine, transmission et al) are superior!

Bro list model of Toyota you talking about don't just say Toyota . The car called smart is made by Mercedes it has an engine capacity of 0.7 . I will take a pic of one .
The VW polo has a variant of 1.2 engine . List two brand of Toyota that are more fuel efficient please I'm waiting

Nasamy:
I am dealer... Nasamy Autos

I will advise, you go for TOYOTA COROLLA 2003 to 2005 Model Ordinary or Sport 4plug and TOYOTA CAMRY 2000 to 2001 Model (DROP LIGHT) 4plug. depend on ur budget. They are all very fuel economical and easy to Maintained.
Thanks

Bross chey U be dealer nah all civic get same engine capacity ? Don't you have 1.8 and 2.0 civic all carrying 4 plugs ? ?

augibelegbu:
Civic is super efficient! your maintenance approach also matter a lot

What's the engine size of this civic ? ?

I don't know howmany times we have to KEEPING SAYING THIS ON NAIRALAND
once again the brand of cars do not determine how fuel efficient a car is rather the Engine capacity does .
Op for starters there is nothing like V4 it's l4 all cylinders are lined straight and V6 they are lined in V shape 3 each side .
Now a Vw polo 1.2 is more fuel efficient than any Toyota camry in the world which is not hybrid reason engine capacity is 1.2 and camry starts from 1.8 , 2.0,2.2 and 3 ltr V6 . .
the BMW 318 is more fuel efficient than the camry 2.2 .
Hope you all getting the gist ? And I hope this helps someone who is trying to buy a car based on fuel consumption . Look out for engine capacity rather than rand amd model.

Well I tried to.install the dashboard on the bracket and it's a great fit

so I got one major part today delivered from Poland at 1030pm, its The Dashboard bracket, looks big but very light then I discovered its aluminum cast.

anyebedgreat:
Not like when GEJ was the C in C. Then it was boko Haram that had the superior fire and our army usually fled to Cameroon.

see them

Babs612000:
Many thanks l am just taking mine time on the project since l am not leaving there now and more so the cost of building materials that are just skyrocketing every day.
May God save and help us in Nigeria.

Weldon, God shall see us fru, if material like it should add money, the house must complete.

smithsydny:
wch family from rumuola. Am youth president brother.

Don't bother yourself with these guys, they don't even know where Rivers start and where it ends,

Lightening:
See grammar. Perhaps you are even a graduate. Why not just read and pass. Must you comment?

what you said bears no meaning whatsoever to what I wrote, dot you have anything meaningful to say We know you are dull but must you exhibit it in publicyou nor fit shame small

sixtuschimere:
IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu today stormed Igweocha Rivers state with a strong message that Igweocha is and remains part of Biafra land. Addressing a mammoth crowd,he said....

'I challenge anyone who speaks otherwise to conduct referendum'.

Majority of the Rivers state people at the event also said that they want Biafra.

want Biafra is different from being Biafra.
And why are you lot so kin on Rivers? cant you do with you and yourselves??

[quote author=frank202012 post=58675861][/quote]They won't talk about that .

for me, my Music system

Apipia:
He said, that i am arguing from what i ,dont know, that means, car radiator must have added anti freezing coolant in them, i disagrees
I wrote from conventional wisdom , if any members of his family had owned those cars mentioned, they dont need those chemical.
In the US, who may require anti freeze,? A car owner in Alaska or another in Texas?

U are getting it wrong, Anti freeze is a general name just as we say Coolant, there is on for cold and on for warm and 50-50

Apipia:
I wrote from conventional wisdom. Did any members of your family owned, Peugeot,Renault, Volvo D series, Volks in the 60s, 70s,80s and the early 90s, which of these cars are driven with anti freezing coolants? Number 6 still remains bullshit.
On DIY drain your radiator if you are to pack your car for a long time and attach a note radiator empty.

Well abroad they did, but during them times we always have same problem, of Rad leaks

Apipia:
Number 6 is purely Nonsense in capital letters.
Has harmattan ever freezed a teaspoon of water in Nigeria?
Number 2, applies during 60s and 70s when petrol stations are almost 500 kilometers apart.

You rad get corroded as per 6 and with number two residue get sucked in ur fuel line due to dirty fuel, try and see what is in ur tank when emptied you will be surprised.

indigene:
What is being mentioned is anti freezing agent, not radiator coolant. Whats the many reason of installing the engine fan after the radiator some even before and after.
Cars manufacturers detests the use of these promoted chemicals. Ask your car maker if you have any.

They are one and the same bro

PaperLace:
Going by your list, can we conclude that every car in Nigeria is ruined?

ofcos, that's why they sound like tractors after barely a year

hilseger:
Mini Cooper is not a luxury car mate. I guess the reason while u said that is bcoz we don't use that brand in Nigeria... permit me to say this pls, I live in Manchester and mini Cooper is like golf 3 in uk.

Who said so, is golf three still sold for £500? this car is worjt btw £3000 and £5000 depends on its state. and do not forget this car is cheaper in the EU than the US
