ade95: Gurus please I await your response Mazda has no followers, parts are expensive when available. If you intend to stand out for 2 years and dispose off of the car good remember anything mazda very low resale value in Nigeria. 2010 TSX very good but I believe premium fuel was recommended for it compared to the predecessor. Camry no much talk you already know it is good |

Freshflow001: Hello folks happy new year to you all, I'm excited about joining this forum today. Please an advice on between buying a Nissan Xtrail and Infiniti Fx35 they both look good and affordable compare to other SUVs I find in the market. I really need someone with experience to advice me on which to go for considering Durability, cost of maintanance etc. I would really appreciate your sincere advice. Thanks Nigerian used, I will buy an xtrail than a FX35 Nissan xtrail is far cheaper to maintain than the FX35 interms of parts, technician and fueling. I don't expect someone who has been in both cars to be asking such question as xtrail is low budget Nissan sedans in CUV form the fx35 is a luxurious sports CUV with one of the best exhaust note on the streets. |

Vello: I have a maximum budget of between N1.8m to N2.2m to make a good choice between the two cars bearing in mind the following: * Must be 4cylinder. It's the reason I didn't go for Honda Pilot. * Durable and rugged * Cheap parts and readily available * Reliable
@Gazzuzz and other auto gurus, please help me make a good choice here.
CR-V because it is popular tested and trusted. Easy to come by the parts and technician.
The Ford isn't bad but check well for rust 1st after that if good to go, you can buy if that's what catches your fancy.
I'm most open to other suggestions different from the two mentioned. Thank you |

Car Talk › Re: What's The Best Durable Car To Buy by nurey(m): 6:54pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
francawilson: Hi Everyone,
Please i need recommendations for a solid car. I am currently driving a 2018 Mitsubishi outlander which I've had for 2 years now. A friend of mine who's into auto dealership shipped it for me from the US. Said it had good fuel economy, double back sitter, blah, blah blah. The car is okay but doesn't have the features I want so I want to give the car to my mum & get a new car.
I like keyless cars or cars u can start with a remote; cars u can operate the boot with a key or button (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that). I like cars that lock automatically on matching the brake (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that feature too). Leather seat trips me (my Mitshibushi doesn't have leather seat). I love Cars with good sound system & GPS; back 360 degree camera; blindspot & close range sensor. I hate going to the Mechanic so I won't like to own a car that always have electrical, mechanical or leg problems. Since I got this Mitsubishi, I've only changed oil & 2 front tyres so far.
PS: B4 u start questioning my source of income;I must tell u that some of us women are doing well for ourselves & are real legit hustlers, joined with favor from God our creator. I have a govt job, do contracts & also own a successful business. I started a real estate company sometime in 2018 (don't ask me how) but this is our best year so far amiss COVID. I'd like a more presentable & durable car cos I drive around alot with prospective clients & families.
Pls don't refer me to range rover, Bently, Ferrari or G-wagon. I'm not a celebrity. I labour so hard for my money but also like good things.
Warning: Please no useless comments. If u have nothing to contribute, read & pass. This question is not for kids on NL. I have handled a GX460, it has almost all the features you have except remote control start or push to start button. I have never driven or seen a car that locks automatically when break is depressed but my sister's 06 Corolla locks all doors when you switch gear to drive and opens all door when you switch gear to P. If the GX is too big you can try a Lexus RX your budget would determine the year. |

udatso: Forgive me for not using the right words but I don't really know much about cars. But that doesn't change the fact that I need help.
What I want is a Toyota Camry that is reliable, has low Maintenance cost, Availability of parts and low fuel consumption.
Where that is not available, is there Corolla with enough spaces between chairs like Camry or close?
My budget is 2.1m but can be slightly increased cc nurey Go and buy an avensis rather try to avoid a D4D fitted engine and buy direct LHD don't worry about the 2.4L 2azfe those from Europe don't burn oil like the US fitted in camry |

nwokechisom: Hello house,
Please is 2008 Honda Pilot a better vehicle compared to the 2009 Ford Edge?
They fall in my budget range.
Thanks for your anticipated response. Pilot is an SUV Edge is a CUV You will enjoy the pilot well because of technical know how, the engine fitted into it is a popular engine in many honda and Acura. Easier to maintain, cheaper parts than the ford. For the ford most will advice you pick the 3.5L V6 and boycott the i4. Never used the vehicle before not a vehicle running those engines but I have friends using the vehicle driven the edge before too it is a nice and strong vehicle reason it's popular on our roads |

Car Talk › Re: Mercedes Benz 2003 C270 for sale Direct from Germany Diesel. by nurey(m): 3:28pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
CHIMCO: We have E class Mercedes 2003 for sale.
But fortunately or unfortunately it is a diesel Car.
Prospective Buyers were asking us the benefit Of buying the diesel car.
Please anyone with concrete knowledge of diesel car should please help us with information. Diesel is not flammable like petrol so chances of diesel powered car catching flames is very low if leak is observed. Diesel is like oil with high heat resistance meaning your engine would work smoothly and the diesel would act as a secondary lubrication. Diesel doesn't burn like petrol so you enjoy more distance travel and better fuel economy than petrol. Diesel engines are rugged because they utilize compression unlike combustion in petrol so they can last twice as long as petrol engines. The other advantages are torgue which you don't necessarily need. |

loveson: Which would you advice to buy considering maintenance, parts, and driving experience; 2007 Lexus GS 350 or 2008/2009 Lexus GS 350 or 2010 Acura TL or 2011 Toyota Camry
Thank you in advance Acura TL fits perfectly in your choice considering your factors just ensure to always buy octane booster to bump up the fuel to premium. The GS ain't bad either but expensive parts. It isn't fair to pitch the Camry against the competitions Camry is an ordinary ride where those ones are. But buy the Camry if you prefer ordinary stress free driving offcourse watch your back for robbers and vandals. |
