Corolla sport is a normal Corolla with sport kits added, it can be had as 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual with 1.8L engine.

Corolla XRS is fitted with 2.4L engine with 5 speed manual or 5 speed auto, comes with 4 disc brakes, sports tuned suspension and a host of other accessories you can get in a semi sports car.

BoboKush:
Good morning house
I will like to know the difference between corolla 06 and 08

I will also like to know general stuff abt corolla 08 the problem associated with it and the good side.... M newbie on car
So anybody can just enlighten me a bit

buy any they are ok. But if you can get pictures better some 03 to 07 model years were also produced in 08. But generally later years are supposed to be improvement on earlier years

Pweety3333:
Why is no one talking about Toyota matrix
Am thinking of getting a 2005 Toyota matrix
What are the general problems to look out for

buy it if you like it reliable vehicle. But you can avoid the AWD variant of you can due to high part prices

I just dey laugh by the way I didn't finish reading your epistle.

cars would still be available after your 3 years time elapse so just have it in mind that you are buying a car once that 3 years elapse not that you are buying a SEAT Toledo after 3 years because today's technology is tomorrow's garbage.

Elders make una show face.

Drcentrist:
Good day,could anyone tell me his/her experience with Toyota corolla 05/06 on the highway(Edo or Enugu)with loaded trunk,Attempting a road trip soon.Thanks

loaded trunk, expect lot of police stop and search. they believe all Corolla and Camry are stolen vehicle been driven to another state.

Kaybaba5:
Wat abt connecting fan directly to d battery.

check the gasket condition, there is a diy check for that your mechanic should have knowledge of it

buy new thermostat and fix, change the cooling liquid from water to coolant, fix your fan back to stock, do a test and monitor the cooling system. You are done.

Kaybaba5:
I bot a naija used 2001 camry, over 3 months have been driving it. I notice that if I accelerate pas 40mph it will be vibrating secondly the fuel consumption is high. I took to mechanic they told me I will need wheel alignment.
I now asked the mechanic about my thermostat whether they have removed it he said yes. That the fan is connected directly to the battery. And the radiator is double cell. Am thinking to install thermostat so that to control the fan. Any implications?

Check your tires for contour then the vehicle undercarriage parts would require physical inspection to ascertain the cause

nonhuman:
Do we have mechanics that can fix doge caliber and is the parts available in everywhere Nigeria

dodge caliber shares part with jeep compass, Mitsubishi outlander and Mitsubishi lancer of those years. Parts are interchangeable to a degree as they come from same platform. As for the engine, you will not get the 1.8 if you are buying strictly from US, you did get the 2.0 or 2.4L engine, but seems the world engine was only fitted in the caliber.

Johnsonkeyz2019:
Can faulty upper and lower arms bushion at the back of a Honda pilot make the car to be swerving while on speed


I've changed the 4 linkages but still experiencing the swerve on high way and my shock Absorbers are all okay also

take the vehicle to a qualified technician for physical inspection and possible diagnosis

balila:
Please auto experts which do I buy between this 2 cars....price is almost the same....but one is SUV and the other a saloon car. Help me make a choice. Thanks.

from your writeup you aren't confused, if you need sedan, buy the ES if you need a SUV by the MDX

I hearby dub thee SIR erico2k2 and Monsieur seanfer surveyor generals of Nigeria Highway, Cartalk branch may your reign afford Nigerians ability to empty their speedometer. Amen

Kccheechy:
so the Range Rover is better than the x6 on the road??

the badge alone puts you among the top dogs, the 2.0L Ecoboost engine is rated high in practicality, available for several Ford lineups.

Not the fastest, not loudest but a good vehicle none the less. it still boils down to what you want in your choice, but with your list, I know you won't have problem maintaining any of those cars you end up buying

babyboy4every1:
Thank you so much for taken your time to attend to us. In fact, you're the most active. Here is my questions: is the ordinary one 600 or the one with vcm. Also, did 06 come with ordinary and the vcm fitted one? Or the 06 just come with the vcm fitted engine only. How much is the ordinary one and vcm engine of the 06

The VCM fitted one is more than 600k, I believe the ordinary should be around 4xx not too sure,.you can ask well in the Honda maintenance thread, luvinghubby should have an idea.

The 05 upwards has both engines, ordinary for LX and EX trims while the EX-L and touring have the VCM engine fitted in them

cynacob28:
Good morning house I need good golf4 body that the engine is not good. I want to put golf 3 engine in it. I went to owode onirin but couldn't find it

you want to put golf 3 engine inside a golf 4? possible though but economically bad decision.

you are going to buy and buy, then you now join and join, then you butcher and butcher, next is to weld and weld, at the end, you will spend a fortune to get a partially moving vehicle on the road.

chijioke17:
I've gone through this thread and no one seems to be interested in Toyota matrix. Is the car that bad when compared to Camry or corolla, say 2004 of the 3 models

matrix shares chassis and drive train with Corolla of same year.

we can probably define matrix as a Corolla in hatchback form

seanfer:
That’s the most silent section of the East west road. But don’t speed pass 120km because of those herdsmen and their cows oooo.

I do 140km there never seen no 4king herdsmen herd their cattles to the highway, even trailers maintain 100km steady.

Besides any herder I see in the middle of the road is a gunner, I know they are prominent highway robbers

erico2k2:
The East west rd? , well you can drive for 20mins without depressing ur brake pedals?

after ijebu Ode my brother heading to Benin you can drive a Bugatti at 400km for 20mins if you get the liver all thanks to SUKUK fund

babyboy4every1:
Oga nurey, i forgot to ask, how much will the engine and transmission for honda odyssey 2006 cost. Thanks

engine is more than 600k depends on whether it is the ordinary or VCM fitted in EX-L and touring.

transmission, no idea

132KVA:
Pls gurus in the house, help a brother make the right decision.

GX to an Highlander are kidding me, GX is a better ride by far, luxurious, rugged, loaded, statement maker, dominator.

Highlander wins in fuel economy and practicality

codemaster2much:
Hello boss Nurey, saw this naija use Honda crv 2007 for 1.35m, luckily only need painting job

Please are parts cheap?
Are they durable, transmission, engine etc
Fuel economy OK for young graduate first job
I fear leg pull, does it pull leg or is the suspension better compare to accords
Any problematic or reoccurring problem point for this car to prepare for during the period of ownership

it's an ok vehicle but the engine and transmission isn't cheap. For other body parts I don't know the price

spartanian:
2004 Lexus IS300 vs 2004 ES300, please which is highly recommended putting into consideration maintenance, cost and availability parts, fun to drive, ruggedness, etc.

ES300

okirewaju:
They have been taught online right?

He has to pay for services rendered.
He can call to bargain if need be but he has to drop something.

The good thing is that online schooling is not compulsory. If you can't pay, then opt out.

With what I am aware of, I don't think the students take online classes I have been home a week and I am certain if they do take online classes I would know (my sister and brother in-law aren't tech savvy) they did have asked help from me or my other sister so we will be privy of online classes if it were done. My brother in-law only told me that the school sends assignments, I don't know whether assignments equate to lost time of the close down which will effect automatic promotion.

Also the lesson they go to physically is been done by a teacher in the school, so I doubt if the teacher has time to teach online classes

HeavenlyBang:
What a stupid comment.

Please do avoid muddling in a showdown between I and the guy he is after my downfall, probably I must have offended the thing in the past I am not privy of, let him continue chasing shadows till he chokes on it

valenti12:
Oga Nurey

Abeg, 2007 Hyundai Elantra or Toyota Corolla?

Gurus in the house. Epp my brain

Toyota Corolla has been tested and trusted, if you are comfortable with the security challenges and can mitigate against it good enough for you.

Elantra isn't bad too but body wise, the Elantra would fall apart easily compared to a Corolla. But it can be managed if judiciously used and disposed off when signs start showing.

Hauptmann:
The so called expert keeps posting wrong and at best misleading information, when he gets called out, he tries to use humor to evade the issue.

Oga well done o.

I never called myself an expert or whatever name you give me, just like Jesus responded when he was told they labelled him as a Messiah.

If you are patient enough you will get what you are looking for , on last note, I wish you good luck cause you will really need it

HeavenlyBang:
Agree that you were wrong so we can move on.

I am wrong, you are right
I am small, you are big
and there is nothing I can do about it
hope you are happy now?

I was opportuned to be home recently and my brother in-law was discussing with me how a certain school in Lagos asked my sister his wife to pay a certain amount of school fees.

my nephew and niece are 3 and 6 years old, still in primary 1 and 4 I suppose . they were in 2nd term and he had paid the school fees then before the covid-19 lockdown.

The children currently attend a lesson and according to him, the children receive homework from the school only via online means (I don't know the medium though). Things aren't great financially and he isn't ready to dish out money for no just cause since school resumption is unknown or still far away. His verdict was for my sister to give his number to the school authority so they can call him and have a discussion.

I agreed with the advice he gave and also told him to look at the possibility that probably the school wanted to pay teachers salary at least for them to keep body and soul together, but I was also thinking that the school should have called a kind of PTA meeting (via social media or mail) to inform/convince the parents of the reason why they should pay school fees.

please if there is any opinion of what can be done about it, I did like parents to contribute on a good way forward.

Thank you all.

HeavenlyBang:
Sounds like you think it's a fast car because it's a Range Rover.
240 HP in a 4000 lb car is nothing impressive at all.

0-60 in 6.9s.
1/4 mile in 15.1 at 93mph.

2007 Camry V6.
0-60 in 6.5s.

And yes, horsepower, along with weight, determines performance. It's simple physics.

Sure, it can outrun a 4 pot Camry or Corolla, but there are a bunch of cars it loses to on Nigerian roads. The Evoque is NOT a performance CUV.

Oga, don't put words in my mouth I said it can outrun and outgun any nonsense on the highway I never said it was a performance car, seems you have a BS with JLR products
