Good evening house,
Please how durable is Mazda 3 2007 model for uber biz in Nigeria. Factors to consider are
Ruggedness
Cost of maintenance
Transmission longevity
Easy part
Average market.
Thank you.

Mazda parts are scarce in market and when available are a bit pricy, if you can live with that.

But parts can give you a lot of downtime which results in profit loss. try other brands if you are afraid of toyota Civic, Rio, Accent, Sentra, sunny etc

IMOHS:
Please house I need advice, car will be shipped from usa, seller says repairs will be done in Nigeria within 48hrs. Do you think it's a good buy?

We can't decipher that from the pictures but with that kind of hit that bent that Tyre I am speculating the chassis may have taken a hit.

You don't want a car with bent chassis

To be honest I was dumbstruck when I discovered the Honda will beat the BMW 0-60 partly because I'm a BMW fan and I have little love for Japs. Biased I know but be that as it may this discuss isn't about drag races but intracity and interstate or highway runs. Yes, take off from traffic stops can be a drag race in a way but how many times?

The real test is on the interstate and there are good roads. You don't need 180kmh, even 140kmh which is a frequent speed is enough to dust the Honda.

I've owned a 328i and I know it's take off is somewhat slow but I leave those Japs behind once above 100kmh.

The question is were they actually racing with you? I have done something like yours recently and I was chased by customs December 2019 where I was Dusting virtually every car on the road, my car was dirty and custom took me for a smuggler and chased me some couple of miles Abeokuta sagamu road.

It was until I noticed them trying to catch up in their Hilux against my 1MZ sienna I just slowed down to avoid wahala didn't even know they were chasing me, just had a hutch

yungboss:
Half a kilometre is 500metre- longer that the standard quarter of a mile.

This journalist shares the same sentiment i have been trying to pass across. My English writing isn't good enough.

I understand your position, that is why I am of the school of thought that only on the race track in real life can we truly know who is who.

HeavenlyBang:
Lol, it's still silly af to compare that Honda to a BMW. Trust me, after 60mph, the 330i will catch up to and completely destroy the Accord.

What if it's a drag Race that is just ½ a KM and the BMW can't attain it's too speed? The only thing the BMW would destroy is its own Engine trying to catch-up the competition.

I don't know if anyone has experienced what I observed in my vehicle.

I have 2008 Highlander V6 Limited Edition. The issue is that the engine starts suddenly and runs on for about one minute before it stops. This happens automatically at regular intervals, day and night.

I had spoken with the dealer from whom I bought it, but he waived my observation aside, saying that is how that model behaves.I have used the vehicle for 8 months plus and there has been no problem, but I just want to be sure.

Gurus in the house, can I trust my dealer?

When the car start humming like a hummingbird, go outside and confirm whether it is the fans that are running not really the Engine. seems alot of Highlander within that year bracket have that issue

Good afternoon, everyone

I am currently in a fix. I like 2006 Nissan Pathfinder jeep but my friends are advising that I go for a 2001 Toyota Highlander.

Please kindly advise on which to buy.

The highlander is at 189k mileage, while the Pathfinder is at 135k

PS: Both cars are for sale at same price, ad both are of V6 engines.

Please advise. Thanks

As much as I hate Nigerian used Nissan and reason is because Nissan cars don't like abuse and manage manage owner.

The Highlander is no where as strong as that Pathfinder, I have neighbors using this same Pathfinder since 2011 as a daily driver and the vehicle never disappoint him.

Yes the Pathfinder came with a factory defect from 05 down to 09 but once you do a radiator bypass you will enjoy it. The Pathfinder is a full size off-road SUV with 4.0L V6 or V8 so I don't expect it to be as efficient as a Highlander CUV with 2.4L I4 or 3.3L V6.

A badly maintained car is badly maintained be it toyota, Ford or Benz.

Find a mechanic to inspect both and the one that has a good maintenance threshold should be considered

adanny01:
Which one do you believe?

Let it slide, the truth of the matter is the German users don't like it one bit when the Japanese cars are a tad better than theirs. They won't accept by giving flimsy variable excuses from handling to stability to drivability.

They believe the price difference should justify theirs better and faster

Thank you i now understand perfectly. Please Oga Nurey base to base which is more loaded and please lastly is premium fuel required or recommend. Thank you boss.

Recommended probably for the ES, I doubt it for the RX since it's a 3mz. But you will be fine Sha

Base to Base Both have something the other doesn't so basically we can say it's a tie but I expect an ES350 base to be better than the RX since ES has many years ahead of the RX
