for you...

cool

yes o

radautoworks:
I never imagined being a Honda user especially after having worked for Toyota for a couple of years HOWEVER... I was talked into it after being dissatisfied with Mercedes and bought an Acura RDX in 2010, loved it so much, bought a new one in 2013.
Ready again for a new vehicle and guess what's leading the pack?

Oh, and in the three years my Acura has been in Nigeria, it's only needed 4 new tires and recently code went off for catalytic converter.

Say what you will but it boils down to personal preference for me between both brands.

This is Nigeria, Every fuel stinking now

the seller said 07 model, so its 6speed U660E.

U660e is found in 2008-up avalons

available

Both cars are at the end of their production life for their generation( most production issues sorted out. Both cars are very reliable ( when they have not been abused)

The Camry is NOT plagued with oil consumption problems ( this affected the next generation 2AZ-FE engine used in the 2007-09 camry, 2006-09 rav4)

The Camry is equipped with the 5 speed automatic (U250E ) transmission, using the Toyota T-IV atf fluid) ( strange). Quite 'sensitive' transmission and very pricey to replace (might be the same price with the Honda accord V6 transmission( Not sure))

Suspension system is crap( i mean the shock absorbers and bushings). It handles like a boat.

The 2006 Camry is a very Boring design. Too boring for my liking.

On the Other hand,

The 2007 accord (discussion continue) is a very reliable vehicle. Cool interior and exterior. Very good handling.

Suspension system is very good( the Ball joint is the load bearing type, hence its likelihood of failure particularly if the ball joint installed is fake.
Original ball joints may cost as high as 40k a pair, and that will last as long as 7 years even in bad road conditions

the V6 transmission for this face-lifted version is much more reliable than in the pre-face-lift model. Frequent oil changes With the right fluids is key.
same thing with the engine.



The choice is yours to make bro..

I will take a bought brand new Honda or Toyota anyday, anytime over bought salvaged toks naija used..

As for kia/Hyundai my hand no dey their oh.. If I no be brand new then toks Naim sure pass

My brother,

The vehicles sold as brand new for the Nigerian market are :

1. Basically watered down variants of the American counterparts ( imagine a 2012 KIA optima with only driver and passenger airbag, Manual seats, OBD 1 capability , and a mere ABS system only?!, where the american spec comes with a more powerful engine (GDI), driver, passenger, curtain airbag as standard, Bluetooth capability as standard...

2. Most car parts( Engine, Transmission) you get today are sourced from the US/canada, compared with fewer ones sourced fom Japan/ Korea.

This implies the ones coming from the Asian countries to be more Expensive( although they are usually with much lower mileages and in some cases better quality )
3. More as i remember...
