>Dependable
>Outrun wetin with 240 HP?

So are you saying the Evoque can't outrun a 4cylinder Camry or Corolla on the highway because it has 240hp? 240 is just a number not a determinant of performance kapish

Range Rover Evoque, it's small, chick, dependable and has the ability to out Run and out gun any nonsense on the highway.

Oga nurey and other guru, pls, which model and trim would you recommend between 04, 05, and 06 for honda odyssey. Iv made some researches and found out that the LX has 7 seats, while others (EX, EX-L and touring) has 8 seat. I wanted the 8 seaters anyway. The EX-L and touring has the vcm which many users are condemning on major forums. Please, what did you hav to say sir. I want this odyssey. Please advice

I hope the Odyssey you are talking about is the 05 model year upwards production was in 04 but model year started 05.

but the Odyssey is okay, the VCM was fitted in EX-L and touring, I Know Honda faced a class action suit for it they only elongated the warranty but no solution. but I believe there is a solution for the VCM, there is a way it can be disabled.

As for trim, it depends on you, you can get your desired trim and the vehicle may not be in a good condition. To me vehicle condition is most important, other guguru and groundnut can be added to any trim

GOOD MORNING MY DEAR NAIRALANDERS. PLEASE I GOT A DISTRESS OFFER TO BUY A 2006 TOTOTA AVANZA EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY TWAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. AND CURRENTLY I USE A PEUGEOT 307 THAT HAS BEEN NICE TO ME FOR OVER 2 YEARS.PLEASE AM ASKING IS IT WISE FOR ME TO SELL THE PEUGEOT AND SWITCH TO THE TOYOTA. ALSO HOW DURABLE IS THE TOYOTA AVANZA WITH A 1.5L ENGINE SAME WITH TOYOTA YARIS

There is 1 thing I know about the 1st generation Avanza, body falls apart after long use. I am not sure about the auto transmission but my mum's sister own bought brand-new too has transmission issues.

Avanza is a 7 seater wagon, so if you need the extra seat and space and the Avanza is in a good working condition then switch

2007 honda city vtec has paddle shifters.
Used it about twice since I owned the vehicle.
Not really interested in the feature. Didn't buy an automatic to continue stressing my hands and brain.
I let the auto do its thing.
But that 2015 corolla is everywhere in Lagos na Nurey. I saw more than 10 yesterday and I was just in my neighbourhood.

Yes they are the south African model they don't have paddle shifter

kingreign:
Funny enough, a corolla 2015 is a very very common sight in most cities of Nigeria. Just this morning alone, I've seen over 5 units of them.

if we ask you location, nah Abuja or Lagos you go mention and all those are even south African model bought brand new no sport version there.

kingreign:
As common as a corolla is, they have paddle shifters in 2015+ sports models.

Funny, how many 2015 Corolla do you see on the road, now to top it up how many sport models are available on the road?

As far back as 2010 I have driven Audi S6 with paddle shift, didn't use it anyway who paddle shift eepp

fabienjoe:
Is that generation of ES350 still based on Camry? I thought it was based on the bigger Avalon?

based on Camry

Hauptmann:
Kindly ignore all that XV40 XV50 jargon, there are no significant differences between the XLE trims of the 2012/13/14 Camry models.

Wrong, the 2014 US model had exterior changes whether it is LE, SE or XLE. But I guess you already know that too

Hauptmann:
Ironically it was your ego and difficulty in admitting that the information you originally posted was wrong, that's made this an ongoing debate.

Instead, you went looking for all sorts of random and contrived stories to make your comments seem correct, all to no avail.

The person that needs to learn from this thread, is you.

whatever makes you happy

Hauptmann:
Meanwhile the dates you came up with for the Asian XV40 are not backed up by any valid sources.

These are the offical dates for all XV40 Camrys

you can't see proof because you are only interested in seeing fault rather than learning

bye and by the way you are right

kinah:
This is perfect
Bros talk
Elo?
Location is Abeokuta

sister Esoro
Elo le fin wa?
Location is Lagos and grandpa doesn't do delivery

Hauptmann:
Not really.
Even using model years, the last model year for the XV40 was the 2011 Camry.
The 2012 Camry was the first model year of the XV50.

XV40 07 to 11 international
XV40 06 to 13 Asian
guess you are part right if the op is talking about the north American camry

kinah:
Elo?

how much do you want to pay ?

pix added for your peruse

Hauptmann:
This is not actually correct.

Camry XV40 was from 2006 to 2011

Camry XV50 was from 2011 to 2019

Both the 2012 and 2014 Camry are XV50 models.

if you say so guess you decided to use production year

Soferkizzy007:
Hello house...please what’s the difference between 012 Camry (xle version) and the 013/014 version (xle)

12 is a Camry XV40

13 upwards is a Camry XV50

both have different designs XV50 is an improvement on XV40 hope I answered your question

kinah:
Please do you have any broken geepee tank for sale?

YES

Has anyone had the experience of traveling from Lagos to East on a Volkswagen Golf 2? I am planning to make a trip with mine but don't know what to expect.

Kindly share your experience with me if you have any. Like how much fuel needed, will 1.8 engine be able to handle the journey? Etc

people travel to the east in kia picanto with 1.1L engine, so a 1.8 would do it just fine.

As for fuel needed depends on the distance and vehicle condition. Lagos to Benin is around 3xxkm, if your car is in good shape, you probably will be doing 6L/100km that's around 18L to Benin. factor in vehicle condition, traffic, check point, road conditions etc you probably will be burning more fuel/100km but nobody go disturb your golf 2 for road be it police, custom or FRSC

Paddle shift is one technology that has come to stay, giving car
owners the manual driving feel in an automatic style. It improves the ease to toggle from one gear to another

As beautiful as this innovation is, most drivers rarely use it either because they do not know the importance or they ain't freaked about it. so I ask guys, how often do you use yours?

let me hear your thoughts
cc marpol

Nice topic wrong demographics, look around you, how many medium to high-end sports car do you see in Nigeria? how many youths in Nigeria can afford their dream car? how many recent models of cars are available on Nigerian roads?

Some people have not even entered a car with paddle shifters, so my brother as long as Camry 4cylinder and Corolla rain supreme in Nigeria, leave paddle shifters alone and start talking about fuel economy

fawole73k:
Kindly help coz am a newbie in car and I don't know what to choose some people said lexus maintenance cost are high while toyota might be affordable

Lexus ES350 07-12 is same thing as a Camry 07-12 V6. same chassis, same 3.5L engine, same 6speed auto transmission, suspension parts are also identical to some degree.

The Lexus is a more premium ride than a Camry, meaning some accessories and functions an ES has will not be available for Camry because Toyota is a basic car, Lexus is a premium car.

There is no much cost the Lexus will fetch you over a Camry because fanta in bottle is same as fanta in plastic, packaging is the difference

nonhuman:
I am not close to any user the car brand

it doesn't matter whether you know the user or not, move close to the car owner, introduce yourself and tell him your interest in the vehicle and would like his opinion on usage, the individual will surely be pleased to answer your question.

I am in the south east and I see a few of the 407 here, I kinda like the design of the car

then 407 it is, ask a user where he source parts from.

nonhuman:
Please as first timer please I need advise on buying a Nigerian use Peugeot 407 2005 and a Honda accord 2005, which of them is more Nigerian road friendly and in maintenance cost and availability of spare parts. Both are 4plugs engine with 2.0 trim

you will be better off with an Accord if you are in south west, Peugeot if you are in North.

fawole73k:
Please am a newbie here I wanted to buy lexus ES350 but some people and mechanic advise me not to coz of expensive spare parts and cost of maintenance. Some even said not all mechanic have enough skills to fix it if he develops any problem however I want a review from those that are using the car. Am going to get the car tomorrow please

Lexus ES350 07 to 11 shares same chassis and drive train as a Camry muscle 07 to 12 V6. I don't see how a mechanic that can handle the Camry won't be able to handle the ES. Also parts are interchangeable from chassis to drive train to suspension so what's complicated in a ES?

ConAir:
Thank you so much boss,please which will you recommend that will be good for him.in terms of maintenance and economy

all pilot come with 3rd row seat, not all the 4runner of that model year is fitted with 3rd row seat.

if I were in his shoes I would pick a facelift pilot because it has 3rd row seat, would also be cheaper to acquire and best of all the J35 is reliable and the suspension system is to die for

ConAir:
Hello my wonderful people, please my boss is about to acquire an SUV. He says he likes toyota 4runner 04/05, though he is open to other better options, which are
Toyota 4runner 04
Honda pilot
Please help compare in terms
Maintenance
Fuel economy
Reliability
And also with a third row seat. Thanks
CC Nurey, Heavenlybang, Philadelphia

both vehicles are identical in your query. just note that the 1gr 4.0L V6 is 1m plus for engine replacement, the 4.7L V8 is also expensive but not as expensive as the V6 engine so if you wanna settle for the 4runner safer to buy a V8 just incase madam or children will also drive it once a while.

The Honda is a good performer the major issue you will face is body, the body falls apart easily and the undercarriage get rust when used in water logged areas.

I believe the face lift I think 06 upwards were a tad better.

Both vehicles are SUV not fuel efficient but what they loss in fuel economy they gain off-road capability and power to an extent.

with the saliant points, choose your devil wisely

kingreign:
Don't compare sleep and death. They may look and feel alike, but aren't same thing.

@OP, Camry na rubbish tin carton forward where ES350 dey.

sorry sir, I meant same chassis, same drive train etc

Hienzy:
Good day my people, am here to seek your opinions on these two cars. I want to hear from dealers and from experience auto mechanics. 
Please what are your views ?

Lexus ES350 2008 is a very luxurious Camry 2008 V6.

both are same thing

urose93:
How is the car very hot? Because the temperature gauge pointer I saw there is no way near the middle mark. And you sounded as if the OP is one of your apprentices.
