With an SUV?
Wow, but can you help explain what makes it easier to do so in some cars compared to others.
Also i think driving skills apply.

Build quality and technology incorporated.

If I knack your head with Toyota linkage you will feel pain and scratch it.

If I knack your head with Benz linkage you will wake up in the hospital a week after .

Hi house,
Guess it's the effect of boredom from this Coronavirus sit at home thingy.
I was wondering why it is easier negotiating bends/corners at high speed with a German machine compared to any other vehicle.
Is it that other manufacturers are just dumb or the technology is beyond them?

Car gurus, your contributions will be appreciated.
cc:

Fallacy of Generalization.

I have navigate bends at 120km/h in a Lincoln Navigator.

It is not a German thing you have not just driven other better cars from other manufacturers. God deliver Nigerian from the shackles of tohyortaa kamury and korola

The place is 45 minutes drive to Igbo Ora in oyo state.

They plant plantain, cashew, melon (egusi ) yam, cassava, Maize, beniseed.

They do charcoal, there is a big poultry and fish farm, there is also a big cattle ranch there.

It's a mixed culture there fulani, yoruba, Togo, Benue and kogi people.

I hope you are ready to employ workers cause farming is not easy and yearly workers don't come cheap

Hello gurus
Please I will like to compare these 3 SUVs
Honda pilot 09, Mazda CX-7 09, Mazda Cx-9 09 and do they have second hand value

I would pick the Pilot here and if I want it in luxury I would buy the touring edition.

The Mazda CX-7 I won't advise because I have seen 2 units with Toyota engine then something about that engine makes other cars fitted with it unreliable talking about Mazda 6 and Mazda 5 MPV or so

The Mazda Cx-9 is a Ford Edge so most parts for the Ford would work but be weary of the water pump of the engine it can fail prematurely.

kuss:
Oga nurey is this true

Not true. What he Meant is that the 3.5L is aluminum engine and they don't do well when you let them overheat constantly. The 3.5L is a solid engine.
Avalon, highlander, Camry V6, lexus ES, sienna etc uses it

I can only facilitate renting/leasing of land at Opeji village in Ogun state. The location is close to ibadan.

Op send me a message indicating the query I will remember to discuss with an acquaintance who stays at Ota for you

Canadian cars I notice always have high mileage just prepare to change some mechanical parts.

SmartGate09:
Thanks for your insight.
Since these engines have different capacities, which one will be more expensive incase of replacement.
Personally I will prefer the LE trim since the rear glass are tinted.
I'm also looking at the budget to buy and the 04 to 06 models seems to be far cheaper than the latest models.

You can buy the 04 to 06 with 3mz if that's what your budget can afford. It is a reliable engine too and cheaper to replace than 2GR

I need urgent help advice on which one is best. Does honda enter flood without issued?

I have only entered Uber once in my entire life not that I drive car all the time I just prefer public transportation as ajekpako.

I have never seen the Accord used as uber

I have never seen the 06 upwards civic used as Uber too.

I have only seen 02-05 civic and the second generation Honda city.

Now out of the 3 options the Civic is the best for Uber on paper less fuel consumption means higher profit which is the main aim of Uber.

I have used the Accord for 10years and I knock it about through flood and bad roads, yes it always need some special attention especially the transmission fluid, power steering, engine seats and leg work but definitely not the shock absorber.

That camry we rock am for school wella an xle with fabric seat Chai the front dey always hit ground and don't let me start with bushings, linkage, sway bar, shock absorbers, tie rod etc

lanrexdo:
I am thinking of elentra engines

How much does 1.6l cost ?
How much does 2.0 cost?

Which one is more reliable and cheap in both engine?


Is hyundia elantra 2007 a good car for uber?

If I would pick 1.6L it definitely would be the Alpha engine but it was fitted in those sold in China only. The 1.6L gamma I have reservations for.

I would definitely pick the 2.0L next as it is and still a solid one

SmartGate09:
Good day all,

I'm currently planning to start a transportation company to run from Benin city to Abuja using Toyota sienna, and starting small with about 4 vehicles.

Please I need advice from drivers, transporters and mechanics on which year model to choose ranging from 2004model to 2008 model that will be best suited for the business with reasons.
Your contributions will be highly appreciated.

I don't know if this is the right section but mod you can help move to the right section if not.

Thanks in advance.

07 and 08 with the 3.5L V6 2GR engine FWD CE or LE having the small seat at the middle in the second row.

Reasons
04 to 06 have 3.3L V6 3MZ which does not have a better fuel economy as the 3.5L

The 3.5L is also more powerful and popular in several current Toyota lineup.

FWD has better fuel economy than AWD and the suspension parts are cheaper.

CE and LE mostly have the small seat in the 2nd row so no need to fabricate or buy new one, they also come in FWD and don't have option of run flat tyres without spare so you won't be changing tyre for the units you buy.

CE comes in fabric seat and non tinted glass with roof rack optional

LE may come in leather with roof rack and rear tinted glass with some having power sliding doors ND roof DVD

What is wrong with the sienna? How can 1mz be giving mechanic headaches at this age

xrayj:
Guys pls compare between 2013 Camry & Lexus ES 350 08. cc kingreignn nurey heavenlybang & others

But the camry is certainly more expensive than the 08 ES. Though out of the box the ES possibly has more luxurious feel.

Camry has 4 cylinder the ES doesn't so expect better mpg from the 4 cylinder camry. In terms of cost of parts the ES has lower price for parts since it is shared with the XV40 07-12 camry.

Key hole teeth misalign panel beater would have to remove it and go realign it for effectiveness

I did it last in 2019 I think it cost me 2500 for the job

gloryon:
someone should please enlighten me. I will appreciate.

We have always said Nissan Xtrail is a good vehicle CVT, automatic or manual transmission is a good buy.

It's not the first Nissan with CVT, there are several Nissan with CVT of same generations that are still going strong. Besides it has the normal auto transmission and a manual transmission anyone you fancy

dicksonadams:
Hi guy a friend want to help me import 2004 Ford crown Victoria, he swear that I will enjoy it cause he rides one for about 2 years now. Car cost is 700 dollars and about 1.15m to naija nothing to fix, 133k miles. He said the car is rugged and bulletproof. That many people only focus on Toyota.

Please I need an advice from any car guru on this car

Did he also tell you that the engine is a 4.6L V8 engine and transmission bullet proof but generally the car turns head, it is a full size big sedan probably same fatness as a W140 S- class.

I don't know much about its reliability or ruggedness but it can be kept as a classic if it is still in mint condition

HeavenlyBang:
Lol, so I watched that video just to humor you. And, what? Did you even watch the video? It's literally just the guy checking out the car and finding out that it's in almost perfect shape, bar a few bad parking sensors.

Are you ok?

He is not the bona-fide owner of those cars he is beating chest of. He is just a valet to them, I know the mumu personally

AmericanDad:
Fool Rx and C300 were bought toks and iv enjoyed it for 1year without no single issue. Now Go and die

See this clown if I no die come and kill me now. You were passed a hand me down camry ordinary camry you couldn't maintain it.

Your brother also gave you a G35x upon all your mouth making like basket of tomatoes you still got zero there.

The Rx and C class aren't your own, stop the attaché it will do you no good but if they eventually hand it down to you like you always lineup to collect like a hunger stricken dog take care of it and please go and marry may be you would be more responsible in your doings because if you continue in your reckless ways of abusing and wishing bad for your future generations you might end up a vegetable sooner or later.

I won't wish you evil back because I have no evil intentions towards you but I am certain karma would fix you very soon it never fails.

bharkarh:
Dear House,

I intend going into E-hailing and 2 cars has been suggested to me which are;

1. Nissan Sentra 2005

2. Kia Cerato 2008

In terms of reliability, ruggedity, access to/ cheapness of spare parts, and also the price of the engine should an unforeseen issue surface, which would you advise I go for.

Your suggestions will be of great help in decision making.

@ Oga Nurey and others, you could as well recommend a better car.

Regards,

Sentra is good and parts cheaper than cerator. Though cerator is more recent and looks better and modern.

The issue with sentra is the cam and crank shaft sensor they can cause wahala in the middle of nowhere

I did say buy the Kia cerator as the Koreans are trusted

Anuoluwaosinubi:
Hello house, good evening. Currently having an engine replacement for my volkswagen jetta. The engine is a 2.0 litre engine. I noticed my kazeem removed the spring attached in this picture from this part of the tokunbo engine. And when we removed it from the old engine the spring was still there. Please I believe him removing that spring isn’t right and I need your help in knowing if he should just replace back with the one from the old engine since he has already removed the one that came with the tokunbo engine or if what he did is a safe thing to do. Looking forward to your advice. Thanks.

That is the thermostat I have no doubt your kazeem is about to remix the engine he would then run fan direct.

But his solution is not the right thing for overheating. I hope you won't be changing engine in 2 years time

olaboyeh:
Following this advise, about to close a deal on an Elantra, was bought brand new, a 2008 elantra and was used since then, man said he changed the engine sometimes last year, we tested it tho drives well, need leg work tho..just want to know if it's a good buy, quite neat also.. said it's 2.0litre engine variant...

Only the technician who did the inspection can certify it. But generally elantra is good

GAZZUZZ:
I like to keep my machines simple. So sorry you are on your own in this one,

But the machine was made by man not aliens

Alkason:
I am actually looking at Honda Odyssey 2008 _ 2010

It is a good buy

Good day nairalanders I drive a 2020 Kia picanto with the 1.0L kappa engine it overheating when I gave a friend and the mechanic says it can't be repaired.
He says he doesn't know the price of a replacement engine please anybody who can provide a quote for the engine replacement only or where I can source for the engine myself thank you.

Attached is a picture of what my engine looks like and the engine number etc.

These is how to ask for assistance op take note

AmuDimpka:
Nawa...so you still carry this your rust bucket mentality here?

Na wa! Is this your day time job ? Just asking

And you call your self a Benz fan, w210 reliability and rust issues is well documented

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_E-Class_(W210)

Keep up

Alkason:
Okay thanks.
I am already searching for a good deal. I have settled for Honda Odyssey

I hope it is not 99 to 02 with the 4 speed gear box that nah disaster waiting to happen.

But if it is the Honda shuttle with odyssey as badge no problem or the odyssey 03 to 05 with 5 speed you are good to go

AmericanDad:
This is pipedreams that was praising this car and wrote a tribute to it. this is my new moniker. it is a lovely car with a powerful engine but dont has a weak gearbox that gets burned easily. i changed two before i got tired and sold it. i drive an RX330 2006 and C300 2009 and i have peace now

Check your self first. It was camry at first then the G35, in 2 years we would be waiting for the Rx and C class

SantaDomino:
1990 you mean?

I said 1930s that's 3 generations if each averages 50years that'd 150years remove it from 2020.

She has had it at a tender age.

eRex:
Oga Nurey,

I did it on my last Camry drop light n it did touch the strut...(I had to google what the strut mean to reconfirm) n.yeap it was the strut.

In a bid to increase height I put 216/65 R15 n the back tires (when I bump) touches the strut but the front was ok.
Had to switch with a fellow stoplight that used 205/65 r15

So front n back tyres specs were diff

Camry rear setup is different from sienna. Sienna strut and springs are side by side, camry own is married together
