I was suprised at the volume/number of Nissans cars I saw on my trip to the US. It is shocking that Nissan as a brand in Nigeria is not adopdted as a reliable car e.g the Nissan Murano etc. It was also shocking to see the Altima on every five mile as I drove, which was by far the most popular. I just wonder why Nigerians don't appreciate Nissan? Why?

Because it is a lot cheaper than toyota honda and they are very innovative when it comes to design.

Lot cheaper bawo?

nissan is the same thing as datsun, which was commonly used in nigeria back in the day.


i doubt there's any major car brand from anywhere in the world which isnt found in nigeria.



saying nigerians dislike nissan smacks of ignorance.

Becuase US has good road and reliable mechanic, its easier to maintain any type of vehicle, toyota most especially are more rugged, suitable for nigeria road.

Nissan VQ-V6s are nightmarish to fix when they have issues, their CVT transmissions (muranos often use this gearbox) are sometimes problematic.
But their halo car- the R35 Skyline GT-R is totally awesome...its worth killing for. *Evil Grin*

dy ar damn cheaper dan toyota nd honda...nd its durability is incomparable wit dt of japanese's inventn... dy ar damn cheaper dan toyota nd honda...nd its durability is incomparable wit dt of japanese's inventn...

and MAZDA cars too, the most beautiful car i have seen is still the MAZDA 6

I dont think they are very strong for Nigerian roads. Most of the cool Nissan cars I know like Murano come witn double silencers which translates to lots of fuel guzzling. Not an economic choice.

i like NISSAN TIIDA... is that strange?

You dont know what you talking about. Double exhaust means the engine is breathing better than a single exhaust Car. The issue with Murano can be traced to badly design flaws. Putting an engine designed for a Sedan on a Crossover platform, then adding more weight on top. That is why the transmission is always going out on a Murano. Nissan should have put a 3.3L Pathfinder engine in the Murano. Nissan cars are very popular in US for one reason only, thy come with Timming Chain, and not Timming Belt. Trust me I know this cos I work with cars.

Loskee: i like NISSAN TIIDA... is that strange?

Very good car. I think in US it is call Maxima. Change the oil every 3 months, and use a fuel injector cleaner once a month. You shouldn't have any problem. Then at 100,000 miles change the the fuel injector nozzles.

Nigerians dislike Nissan? Are you joking or serious?
Nissan has always been in Nigeria from the days of Bluebird then Sonny then Premira and co.,Pathfinder has been in Nigeria since 1988 and people still buy them in daily.
Maxima and Altima was all over the place in the late 90s,Altima was actually a choice car in 1993 and Toyota,Honda and co were behind Altima in terms of design with the 1993 Camry,Accord (Hala) and the other saloon/sedan released same year as only Daewoo Espero and Chevrolet Cavallier came close.
Nissain cars are durable because my aunt still drive her 1990 Pathfinder which she bought in 1994 in Amsterdam,I still see people hustling with the once amazing Nissan Bluebird.

I wonder o; even considering the number of Muranos on the streets these days.

I remember the Altima i bought when i was still in Nigeria. It almost kill me everyday i have to visit mechanic for one reason or the other.

O my word, I just told my mechanic that I dash am the car. Seriously that car gives trouble.

what part of nigeria do yu stay? It's like you stay in akwuke.

My friend's 2003 2.5L engine Altima guzzles fuel like there is no tomorrow. D tank is almost 100 litres and does nt last a week goin from ketu to marina and back daily. The car is nt made for naija road.

On what premise do you base your submission on. To me i use Nissan
and i see a lot of Nissan cars on Nigerian roads everyday especially
on Lagos roads.

Nigerians do not DISLIKE nissan at all. We dey use am like say tomorrow no dey.

u forgot to mention the nissan Laurel

I driver Nissan Xterra and people still buy them daily, but mine is V6 and it is not pocket friendly atall when it comes to fuel consumption.

Point of correction: the tiida goes by the name 'versa' in the us market. The maxima's main rival is the toyota avalon.

What you know about VQ .. I know that engine inside out. When nissan first brought it out in 95 nissan maxima, it was to die for. very smooth, economy of 4 cylinder in a v6. check ur facts boy, i am a nissan guy and i have owned 6 differnt nissans at some point and that engine is as reliable as it comes. You think it is easy to win WARDS TOP 10 BEST ENGINE 12 YEARS IN A ROW.

There can be someting wrong with your car. Car MPG is a very subjective issue, No 2 cars can give u the same mileage. Alot of factors determines the mileage u get

U dont need to change the fuel injector nozzle.. it is a waste of money. Never had a maxima i had to change the fuel injector nozzle. Most gas are blended with fuel injector cleaner so that too is not really necessary

Are u being serious right now. The 3.5l engine was first installed in the 2002 nissan maxima then detuned into the Altima then banked for the RWD G35 and 350z and finally installed in the nissan quest.
You dont work with car cus if u do, u would know that nissan uses CVT transmission in the murano. Altima, Maxima and Murano SHARE THE SAME PLATFORM (D PLATFORM)
Now u saying that the weight of the car is the reason for a very bad CVT transmission . loll.. You forgot that nissan gave a 6yr warranty on the cvt transmission cus they belive it is that reliable... People buy Nissans cus it very reliable (me included), and the power band is unbelievable.
A V6 Nissan altima is faster 0-60 than a honda accord , toyota camry and acura tl. Nissans are fun to drive, Interiors are amazing.
