The V6 is quieter

The V6 is smoother in acceleration

The V6 does not vibrate at all even when ac is on

If the 4cyl will take you to abuja with N10k fuel the V6 will do it with N11.5k (the price difference gets smaller if the distance is shorter)

The V6 has a timing belt that needs replacement at least once every 5 years (along with its water pump too) meanwhile the 4cyl doesn’t need any timing chain maintenance as long as you keep your engine oil properly gauges and clean

The 4 cyl is easier to work on

In my opinion the V6 is far better than the 4cyl, it’s just the fueling and ease of maintenance that makes people rush the 4cyl

Exactly, if I have money tomorrow to own more than 2 cars, atlleast 2/3 will be V6. The driveability is so sweet.

PresEmeka:
how less powerful is the 4 plug compared to the v6

merits and demerits sir

V6 gives out 271 hp @ 600rmp
While I4 gives out 177 hp




The Accord It's a large Car. The differenc is very much clear when you approach a stop.... from rest, the V6 with lower rpm picks very fast to attain maximum speed even with AC and full loaded car. While the I4 is yet to pick. It shorts off the the 3 plugs on high speed for fuel efficiency and when you slow down, the 6 plugs ignites for the compression to start. So, if you travel alot, V6 is better. If you drive mainly within the city I4 is better. If you're buying car for fun, the V6 is much better. If the engine is sound. It's pretty fast and zippy.

vivalavida:
Mehn, the language you used to advertise this car might deter people from even pricing it.
You want to discard it as it is not serving its purpose.

You could have just said u want to upgrade or you got another and does not need this one for now.
That your discard language makes it look like the car is trash and you are tired of it.

The car has shown him Shege promax

Sportwin:
So the v6 has a lower resale value sir?

Yes, offcourse. Less ppl are willing to buy V6.

Asquare84:
thank you sir, i appreciate your response. what of if i go for v6 of the same version.

I feel like Honda makes strong I4 engine that is enough for all manner of driving. It has better hp than Toyota but, If you can afford the maintenance and fueling of V6 go ahead. But, If it's your only car, it's not worth it. Considering the fuel situation. Community driving doesn't bring out the best of v6. You stop and go hear and there. Except high ways. But, It has more hp. That's more pulling power even with AC and full loads from rest. Just extra cost of fuel, oil, maintenance and of course lower resale value.

Asquare84:
i want take a try and buy a fairly used honda accord with bad engine. i know that i will buy a new engine to replace the old one. the car is accord 2009/2010. experience hands please is it good to buy a honda car that have engine issues with my intention of buying a new engine since most Nigerian used cars have one fault or the other, but buying a new engine will it give me rest of mind.

Please, go for the 012 of that Accord series. That is the last year of that car model. It has better transmission. Aside engine issuues,These 08-010 also have issues with transmission. And if you're buying new engine, make sure you buy 2.4 litre engine. The bigger I4 engine. The smaller 2.0 has issue with oil dilution. That's oil mixing with the fuel over the useful life of the car.

Baby, sponsor my Visa.... I will marry you.

Dozieson:
Bros, 07-09 is not 2.5 but 2.4 2az engine. 02-04 does not use same transmission as 05-06 and it is not optional. i have driven 05 with 10pin gear and can assure you it was terrible. camry 2.52ar starts from 2010

Ok

kingreign:
What transmission type came installed in his car off the production line? 5speed!
Why do you ask him to downgrade it to 4speed?
Cos you lack basic understanding of how things ought to be and you engage in cut corner shoddy repair jobs!

Google the word optional

kingreign:

It's optional 5 speed. You can use both the 4 speed and the 5 speed. Most BFN with 2.4 litre engine use the 4 speed. And it's efficient. It's only problematic in 07-09 with the 2.5 litre engine. The 02-04 comes standard with the 10 pin and they are more reliable and efficient. A lot of ppl use them for transportation and it doesn't disappoint. The first year of the 5 speed is like a test run of new technology. What do you expect? Experiment. But, you might still change the 13 pin after spending 350k for a 17 year old car. . Do what suits you though.

kingreign:
If YOU don’t know what advise to give to someone so as to keep his car in proper condition and please find something else to do. The R & D scientists. Engineers, and technicians who put in 13pin in his car are NOT mad.

You don't even read wide to learn. His car year 05 Camry comes with optional 5 Speed automatic transmission. He can choose to use the 4 speed or 5 speed. Which is either 10 pin or 13 pin .

inikamoze:
My kid brother's Camry 2005 has gear issues, it does not go into reverse. Other gear positions works nicely.
Its a 4plug and its a 13pin. The engine was ringed months ago when it 'knocked'. This is a car we bought fresh Tokunboh from a dealer in June last year oooo.
Please what can be done about the gear not going into reverse?

Do a proper scan and acertain if it's just a cable issue or minor stuff. If it requires bringing the gear box down to fix, I will suggest yo get a 10 pin Gear and rest. Budget 150k. Even if you repair the the 13 pin. It will still develope fault. The 13 pin Gear is too delicate for our roads. Any slightest mistake your gear is gone...... The reason you see a lot of 07-09 muscle Camry with 13 pin Gear issue for sale . And it's more expensive to purchase. 350k.... If you want to fix it, you might end up wasting your money.

Danthemariner:

Do a scan first

Cooolme:
Greetings everyone, I got a small vehicle couple of months ago during this ASUU strike that I've been using here in Abuja.
Now I've traveled severally to the east on public transport and once with my personal vehicle but my dad's friend drove.
I'll be going back to school and intend going with my car cos of the location of my school. My Mom has discouraged me from this but it's something I've always wanted to do myself.
I know the road quite alright but I'll also be using Google maps since I've checked and it's very efficient.
I just want to ask what will be required for me to be with aside my licence for this 7hrs journey and also considering I'm a young guy (20) to avoid police issues.

Except in a case of emergency. I can never drive such a long distance again with bad roads. It's not worth the stress.

TWoods:
None of the folks you mention here represent close to 1% of Nigeria's population. The exception is not the rule. You make N500k/month… how many Nigerians make that amount?

Spot on. Only 1%

Creamcrest:
Sharrap, Nigeria is not nearing collapse,it's still one of the best countries on earth.

Nigerians in Canada and America are even complaining of not being able to build wealth.

Shootings and gun violence also happens in America and Canada.

Some Nigerians here have 24hrs power using inverters and solar.

Most Nigerians can easily build their houses while you niggas in canada and US will be paying for mortgages for several years.

You don't understand the suffering of ppl. All this thing you just mentioned are only available to the rich. It's a global world and wherever you find comfort becomes your home. Some of us will never find comfort in Nigeria, untill you travel out. Non of us will go to the world beyond(hell or heaven) with earthly possession. But, some of us will enjoy a more quality life and be a blessing to others.

Snrman1:
maybe so but my previous engine was shorting oil will buy 5ls under 3 days e don dry and u know the cost for oil. I nearly gave up this past months before I could change it. On the issue of unskilled mechanics I totally agree, my previous mechanics claimed if I ring the engine it won't short oil we did so under 3 days oil don't dry that ringing of engine is a full time scam.

The worst advise I can ever take is ring engine. It's a total waste of money expecially if the engine shorts oil. A new engine is always better. Expecially the 2.4 litre engine. Honda, number 1 maker of internal combustion engine actually have engine that last a taste of time if properly maintained. So, getting a new engine isn't a waste.

This 2Az engine isn't for this model. It's either you upgraded it or the oyibo you bought from scammed you. Because, even some late 2009 models comes with the new and more reliable engine.

Relationship isn't easy ohh... Sometimes you begin to wonder if you're the wrong one. I think, just like my mom once told me, when I broke up so many relationship. She said. Two ppl that are in good terms, is because of one person's tolerance. No one has it all. The gal that can't cook might also be very lively, fun and excite you alot. But, then your kids, you, your finances and family planning suffers. The one that can cook and clean will be dumb and liveless. The matter just tire me.

Gurus in the house,

My friend just bought a Honda Accord 2008 with engine misfires, rough idle, poor fuel economy and hard gear shifting. He also observed that sometimes there is a momentary delay in engine response when he tries to accelerate.

Engine scan revealed the following faults C1555, C0700 and P2185.

Do kindly advise.

Thank you

Change engine and transmission

Aaaaarghmed:
will still pick an Eod over bigdaddy anytime anyday.most bigdaddy users when engine spoil,na to put for sale.Eod is a very reliable and solid ride .I no sabi type plenty to convince anybody..las las everyone will buy that the want and like.some pple will not even buy the Eod or bigdaddy sef .

That's your choice. Even though Honda is fun to drive. When it comes to handling and zippy acceleration, I prefer the BFN for this reason ( Reliability and Fuel efficiency even with ice cold Ac) what's the point of driving a car when you're not sure, it will take you home. Google worst Accord to avoid. I would rather go for an 011/012 Accord. This has better reliability and better Mpg.

saysugar:
in fact you really tried for this write up, are u into taxify?

Had experience. And since I dedicated my time to study cars and performance and still studying. I only go to mechanic, to replace a part I bought by myself. And if it's something one can't detect physically, I scan.

poshemmanuel:
what about Corolla for school use, family use etc?

It's a solid car. If not the best in terms of reliability and fuel consumption. But, it doesn't have enough cargo space. I still prefer a Camry or Accord for personal and family use because of space and comfort.

Aaaaarghmed:
in your dreams.u go change engine tire. Lol.how big daddy go last pass 5 EOD,no dey lie.Eod is a solid ride,stop buying accidented cars.Big daddy that turns to scrap easily

I have used both cars and I know what reliability is. And I know people who have used both EOD and Big Daddy. Infact they are no match in terms of reliability. Google or watch YouTube. That car is 15-20 years old. Still runs good with chilling AC. Any one you see that turns scrap is not properly maintained. Why do you think alot of people use it for Uber. Try using EOD and see, if you will not change engine in one month. Ppl buy it because of it's reliability even when EOD is cheaper. As for the engine, it's lack of maintenance. Don't let it over heat. They come with a better Engine than 07-09 muscle. Their interior doesn't detioriate like others. Solidly made car..Google and watch YouTube. Educate yourself and stop using Naija Mentality as yardsticks. The worst Honda Accord with least reliability is EOD. The transmission is not reliable. but, the ones with 2.4 liter engine is good. The legs pulls if you are not careful...While Big daddy with 10 pin transmission is more reliable and more fuel efficient from 02-06. With a 2.4 litre engine that aren't notorious for oil burn. The Camrys with 2.5 liter engine and 13 pin Gear box are least reliable. (07-09)
Drive round your city. 4/6 breakdown on the highway is EOD. Reliability is when a car can take you from point A-B without breakdown.

Why is EOD sold cheaper even when the interior is finer

Why are ppl leaving it for Toyota?
Reliability is more important in cars than Beauty

So you jumped out and only sustained injury on one side of your hand. How did you land? It's not even a scratch injury but a punctured injury..... Cock and boo story.

Avoid cars made within these years... 07-09
Their engine either burns oil, or the Gear box isn't durable, or the interior isn't durable. They don't hold up thier value over a long time. These applys to mostly Toyota, Honda and Lexus. Don't joke with this. They are fine on the outside, but thier problem will drain you when it starts.

You Should either go for 010-2022( Preferably)

Or you go old school 02-06

After purchase.
* Always service the engine on time with good oil
* Form a habit of checking the fluid level of your engine, gear, coolant, break and maybe power steering. And top up if need be. These practice can save you a fortune

* Service below 3kmiles(4800km). Don't prolong your engine service when due.

*Get your documents correct.

*Don't leave your car with a mechanic. Always make yourself available. Or face the Damages. Don't just be a zoombii... Learn one or two

*If, there's an issue, be calm, Google, watch video on YouTube and then scan before you proceed to mechanic workshop. Else you might be working on a different thing entirely that isn't the problem. Thereby creating more problems. Don't guess, find theoritical solution before you practicalize.

*Buy original parts, don't cut corners, you will end up spending twice in a short time.
*Don't manage a damaged part, it might leave you stranded.

*Make sure your tires are upto date, atlleast, 2019 make and always guaged. Saves you fuel


* Do your wheel balancing and alignment, regularly. This can prevent accident and makes your driving fun.

*Avoid road competition, over speeding, and under speeding. Move like a stream of fish when on the highway.

Things you should consider.

First, go with a professional And a friend who owns a car.

* Go for cars with low or average mileage.
*If you're buying used car, don't go for the cheapest car.

*Consider the year of the car and market value in the next few years
*Browse the common problem with the car year and model. Every car has an issue, some can be managed, some are worst and make your life miserable.

*What is the purpose of the car you intend to buy? Is it for hurzle? (corrola, Civic or Matrix) family use and office(Camry, Honda Accord, Huidai )? Or for a befitting status(Benz, Lexus, BMW)? Remember You can't have both. You can either go for one purpose and forget the rest

*Don't understimate any problem you might observe with the engine or gear and Ac system. This things cost alot to fix and might be the problem for the sale and possibly price drop

*Check out for welded joint, and avoid accident cars.
* Avoid pimped cars, mostly driven by boys. Go for cars that are basic, mostly driven by older men or women.

*Consider your after expenses during bargain. 4 Tires, Need for professional spray, More elegant rims. Remember, these things might cost you upto 400-500k

*Put performance ahead of beauty

* Check for unterperd exhaust system
GoodLuck

Please, I want to get a 2011/2013 Honda Accord. I did reserch and discovered that the seat is one of the major complaints. Someone who owns one should give an insight of how it feels driving it over a long distance.

Most of you don't even know cars. Big Daddy will Outlast 5 EOD and it's better both in comfort, Ac, ruggedness and space. You follow name from illiterates. Even the resale value of big Daddy only goes up. The transmission of EOD is wack. The leg is wack, the fuel consumption is wack too. Even Currently, EOD sells cheaper.
