True location determines popularity but some things are still as constant as day and night: Toyota simplicity and accompanying reliability, Toyota resale value.

get my point,I'm using your headline to pass my point,not all Toyota cars are popular,that particular RAV 4 of the generation was never popular as the CRV in the north,I'm only making reference to a guy that mentioned the CRV and your response of the rav 4. Being more rugged and popular than the crv,which was never the case in the north,infact reverse was the case,same way someone was trying to argue with me that Toyota is the main cars used for transportation,I said yes in the south,but Sharon is the king of transportation in the north not Toyota,I'm previlage to travel a lot which is the reason why I know not all things are applicable in very region.but your can do your findings sha,till this day RAV in not widely use in the north is one Toyota car that did not received acceptance in the north when compared to other Toyota cars like Highlander,corolla and Camry,another Toyota brand not popular is also Avensis and Avalon,but some thinks every Toyota model is widely accepted or popular,but I understand it not possible to capture every car or know which cars were the people's preferred choice from every region.

In the USA also,if I'm not mistaken that model of CRV sold more than the RAV4,the CRV was best selling non American SUV that year. 2005/2006 model years

Ok, I see. Thanks for the info. Always good to know about car culture in other places.

You may need to do mental revision of the prices on these. Nigeria has happened to them.

☺☺☺ That's a car I'm quite fond of and have first hand experience of.
The 8th generation civic is quite popular with Nigerians even though it couldn't make the list. It was released with radical sporty looks and a futuristic interior that was best in class at the time and is quite impressive even today. A word that may come to mind of a person first encountering the remarkable dash and cluster is "spaceship". The car is also known as i-robot in some circles.
Engine and transmission are typically reliable and fuel economy is competitive for small sedans of the era. Parts are affordable and readily available in many major cities.

It is setback by low ground clearance and a cramped engine bay due to the steep front windscreen design. The engine appears to have been placed into the bay from underneath the chassis at the factory, so technicians have to be quite patient to reach engine components when working in the engine bay. Also the power circuits to the compressor and ECU seem to be interlinked in some way and a short in the compressor circuit can cause a blown ECU.

1.8l 4cyl engine has 140hp @ 6300rpm,
174nm torque @ 4300rpm.
0 - 60: 10s
Average fuel economy: 9l/100km.

Market price: 1.9 - 2.4m naira.

Please I just started using a Honda Civic 2009. I'll need you to help out on the following please
1. What engine oil will you recommend I use?
2. The car ground clearance is quite low...what will you advice...get bigger tires or raise a bit? IF Yes, please recommend a good place to go get it lifted in Abuja. Thankyou
