A simple acknowledgement would have been all needed. Say no to stealing... Before you copy my name on your marriage certificate.

Chevrolet Aveo (except brand new)

Op, I believe the Landrover Freelander had closer to 400 faults and was designed by Nigerian kazeems (the devil is innocent on this one). It was described as the worst car ever assembled on a website I visited some years ago, they went into a partnership with Honda to create that SUV but pulled out suddenly without getting the basic technicalities right hence that monster (and it led to the birth of the Crv eventually)

For those complaining about air suspension in cars (balloon) if you get mind, you can remove them and fit in shock absorbers, works like a charm

Oga, remove bmw from that list because obviously you have not driven any one. I have driven 2 models (e36,e46) of it and they are still the most reliable cars i've driven till date. Good fuel economy,65 litres and less lagos to Enugu, AC most of the way, cheap parts. Stop posting crap.

I believe yours were automatic transmission shifts?

Jakumo:
Toyota trucks are notorious for suffering major steering failure without warning.

The Toyota 4 Runner is a notable example. I have seen a year 2004 Toyota 4Runner suffer multiple, sequential steering ball-joint failures that typically caused one of the front wheels to snap free, and turn sharply against the direction of travel, reducing the driver to the status of a hapless passenger in the blink of an eye.

I owned a Toyota 4WD pickup truck once, and experienced THREE steering failures that required a mechanic to remove the vehicle later. Those failures luckily happened at slow speeds, but such random luck is never guaranteed. In other words, fate does not like to be tempted too often.

When major steering failure occurs at highway speeds, vehicles can get airborne, and execute spectacular cart-wheels, spewing their occupants in the process, so, to reduce your chances of being one of such airborne passengers, do not buy, or travel aboard, a Toyota truck of any description.

Thanks for this exposition. I was almost buying a 4runner ...

Fawklicant:
On what logical premise did you make the attrocious assumptions you made earlier? At least I have given reasons why the op's analysis is based on falsehood. Condolence visit? People hate what they don't understand.

in a million years you wouldnt understand me.

If only you had a functional brain, you'd have been able to decipher that I'm far from being what you wrote there. Your thread is meant for those who are ignorant about how to maintain vehicles, and those who have poor maintenance culture. It's as simple as that.

I will not join you in insults. I know it is never a good thing for part sellers when truths about your cash cows are exposed. Don't feel bad as I intend to ignore you henceforth.

gist4real:
As some of us are condemning these cars some are still driving them and enjoying the cars.

Am in Minna, Niger State presently and surprisingly you hardly see any Camry pencil light on the road. I repeat hardly. As a matter of fact they drive more of these brands that we use to condemn. They drive more of Peugeot (206, 207, 406, 607 and the rest), Honda Accord, Benz and Pontiac Vibe.
You can count 100 cars on the road and you won't see a Camry.

Before now I was in Port Harcourt and they also they cruise all these cars wey we dey fear to touch, BMW, Peugeot, Benz, Acura Zdx, Lexus and the rest.

So I think what should be the determining factor of what car a person chooses to drive is taste, availability of parts/technician.

The competition is stiff and all auto makers have upped their games. Almost all cars are built to last. Almost all.

And Pontiac Vibe is based on what?

Nissan easy to inspect and work on previa not so considering where the engine and transmission are located.

In good condition I will pick the xterra more recent and easy to diagnose, previa is good on gas but the last I entered was Lagos to abeokuta shocks were non existent dash board was just for. Design.

available options 9ja used xtera a and a toks previa.. what is ur take?

goodvision12:
Like how much will you advice me to sell it

do a survey of similar vehicles... but one thing I know is that the earlier you dispose of it the better

goodvision12:
should i upload the picture of the motor for yu to see it

I know it. From a close experience. Sell is still my advice. Unless you have a very competent Mech. Cut your losses.

funmisticqueen:
you are quite funny you know.

The truth is unchangeable

Lalas247:
Insecurity alert

Work on it ..

You know that it's better to have you as a friend with benefits than actual dating?

funmisticqueen:
and you think you sound relevant.

He sounds very relevant. In fact I am privy to the fact that you are more concerned about his opinions than that of the man who you tied down with juju just to have a husband.

goodvision12:
I just want to use it for sometime before i think of selling it off

OK.

nurey:
Golf 4 comes with an aluminum engine which doesn't tolerate overheating, has a plethora of wiring that gives the average mechanic headache. If you look at the engine bay and see wires like a seamstress shop please run except you are buying the mechanic along with the car.

Also take along someone that knows about car to help you check only plug wire can turn to something else once you have paid

Nurey Nissan Xterra vs Toyota Previa.... Used. Your views please.

Adaowerri111:
Na useless motor wey nor fit stop to overheat

Beware of anyone promising you a fix on Nairaland. If he/she is not established here. Avoid stories that touch o. Some are just after your hard-earned money...once you enter their trap, it's over.

For Nissan problems kindly contact Costee. He is on Nairaland here. And has been assisting members... check his posts out.

pafek:
are you now agreeing to the fact that its not the vehicle nor the manufacturer at fault here but the road side mechanic?

VW are not known for dependable vehicles in the manner of Toyota though.

Jakumo:
Avoid ANY car that is equipped with air suspension, or hydraulic suspension, all known as "Baloon" in Nigeria.

Mercedes cars made after the year 2000 lead the pack of offenders who created this demonic technology, and when it breaks down, be prepared to pay more than the cost of the entire car, just to fix the suspension.

Reminds me of the Renault with 607 V6 engine. Forgot the name

Tyche:
To forestall name calling on the thread

Well online millionaires are better ignored.

pafek:
to a point, yes.
the car system mechanism is easy to understand.
it's a vehicle that took me little time to know how to change the timing belt successfully

Good to know. My experience with the w202 Mercedes Benz C class was similar too.
