But lacks in the engine department save for the LFA and the isf

I have no idea why they don’t want to compete in the big leagues, yeah regulations are cracking down on engines but still on still, they never had that enthusiasm to compete in the big leagues

For now, all my car wishes revolves around v8s


Rs7 - killer looks both in and out (madt engine)
Grand Cherokee trackhawk - looks like a sleeper
The 63sssssss - no words, u know what it is

Gat no love for bimma at all

Make I go continue to reminisce about the joys v8 would bring to my soul ojere

Are they daily drive capable?
Are they very practical for daily use?


Why would you buy a car with 750hp that you won't use up to 200hp from and then when it breaks down, the price tag and repair processes would be so much of a night mare?

I wish you a good comfy all rounder car. Something that will serve you for as long as you use it with very minimal repair cost.

I believe one thing, the same place I got money to buy the car, God go provide to help me maintain am, we only live once boss

Daily driving them is left to who wants to, I definitely would if I bought one, off course there’d be a second car and/or 3rd, 4th, 5th…..
Practical: depends on who as well

I thought CVTs were bad , until i drove the 2013 Accord (US spec)

Nissan should either learn at the feet of Honda (and maybe Toyota) on how to do CVTs properly (Jettisoning that unholy alliance with Jatco) or go back to traditional automatics.

You seem to be either jobless or a jack of all trades and master of none.
The last time I checked, you were driving a hooptie benz.

Chei. See mentality...

Sometimes we, human are the cause of our own misfortune.

Take for instance, a man who earns 40k monthly and luckily gets an opportunity of 3Million Naira from a share of his family land dat was sold, then he decides to buy a Mercedes Benz of the same amount.. ask him how he intends to maintain it from his monthly income, then he tells you... God that provided the money to buy it will provide the money to maintain it. My brother, blessed is the man that uses his initiative and discretion wisely. God didnt send u an errand to get what u know you wont be able to handle while living on faith, na hand wey dey work dey chop. If u do anyhow, u go see anyhow...

With this kind of mentality ehn, vehicle will sleep for so many days, weeks and even months in the mechanic workshop even with simple fixes. Man will use his feeding money and even borrow to maintain the car, debt and poverty will start setting in then man go blame God for not bn good to him, at the end, car will be sold for peanut when heart attack is knocking on the door.

No take your hand do yourself come dey blame village people o. God is not a magician.

Dashboard dey only light when ever its raining. The window controls that act up, if u press drivers side to wind up, na back seat passengers side go wind down and vice versa. U close boot, radio go just power on by itself.
all those problems are classic salt water flood damage,the salt will get into wire,connectors,switchs,etc and play havoc with the car,until I sold my flood salvage car it was acting excatly like yours or even like a car possessed by spirits,the head light can switch on anytime,the AC blower switchs on at midnight,if you on the AC the windows can roll down,the list is endless,I just remove the battery head at night.

Na rewire mess your car up
I don't think any rewire born of a woman can correct the faults in a flood damage car,the issues can remain dormant especially in the dry season but can strike with unpredictable frequency during rainy season,I took my car to the best rewire in town he examined the car and advice me to let sleeping dogs lie,he asked me how do I think he can correct the fault if you on headlight the boot will open,that I will just close the damn boot,that we have a high chance of causing further problems in trying to solve the old ones,just remove the battery head at night.

Re: I'll Never Touch Toyota Again by PAQ(m): 2:39pm On Jul 30, 2021
@op it wasnt fair comparing a 09 Nissan Altima to a Matrix, that should be compared to a Camry/ Avalon! The problem with your Sienna shouldn't be compared with the handling of a newly acquired Altima either. Compare a Sienna to a Nissan quest, you will cringe!

On a lighter note Nissan makes good cars, but they cant stand the level of abuse the Toyota will, thats a fact. From all the three major Asian brands i have owned Nissan was by far the most painful. But another mans case maybe different. Take care of your car and it will serve you well.

Young man, I understand your plight and anger .
You must be one of those who buy vehicles they can't afford to maintain but rely on miracles later on to keep it running.

Those who actually have the capability to buy luxury vehicles do so without stress, when the time comes for maintenance, they do it appropriately and easily.. they dont just rely on only miracles to happen... Thus the reason why u find some luxury cars on the road while some are grounded in the mechanic workshop due to the owner's financial incapacitation.

Your anger towards me is unnecessary, channel that energy into bn real. No do pass urself, get somethin u can afford to take care of, don't be a serious issue for other capable road users and at the end u put the blame on God as if he is the cause of your own mistake..
