Kia isn't a Japanese brand ooo. it's a korean and kia isn't as easy to sell as Japanese car. If it has been Japanese loke toyoat or honda, you might have sold it. But if it's german, i swear, you must have sold it?

I own a VW golf diesel(SDI). That engine is bomb proof.
It can never die.
Apart from the noisy combustion from Diesel engines, i feel they are more reliable than petrol engines.
Am currently doing close to 40 mpg. Never enjoyed such fuel economy in my entire driving years.

Mine is also a 2.0L. But it's non-turbo (SDI).
Very splendid on gas especially city runs. I haven't attempted exclusive highway driving yet.

I think general Manual cars use lesser fuel and their transmission tend to last longer

Definitely.
But that's not solely responsible for the awesome mpg.
Generally, Diesel engines have better mpg than their petrol equivalents.

But not cheaper than petrol cars.... As diesel fuel is far more expensive per litre compared to petrol

VW costs of fuel is 55,615 Naira

Diesel cost per liter just went up by 50/55naira.
It was previously #210 @ NNPC when petrol was #160.
Let's wait till April, when petrol per liter increases to catch up.


P.S Honda Civic 1.7l is another badass engine. Especially if lubricated with full synthetic oil.

So at present prices the diesel powered vehicle will cost more.... Thank you!

Diesel engines are super good and very powerful. Have u ever seen a trailers or trucks, big generators, ships or heavy duty machines or vehicles use petrol engines?

Never let the ignorance of many let you berate Diesel engines. In Europe where I source all my vehicles diesel vehicles are more used than petrol vehicles and for many good reasons.

I have been using Diesel engine for almost ten years now. With Diesel engine cars u can go from Lagos to Maiduguri and come back.

I am a car dealer as well and I have had issues selling diesel vehicles as well. Infact I have a car now for almost 7 months not sold largely because many offer very low price and even wish to change the engine after they buy it.

Like I said earlier never let the ignorance of people make u think diesel cars are bad. Never ever.

Thank you so much. Maybe I will sell my Highlander and start using the KiA. Because I can't maintain two cars. What do you think.

I have a Mercedes Benz E class but I wouldn’t recommend it for business but for just personal or family use. The engine is a never die engine.
