Siberia01:The only way to make best decisions on these cars are, use their VIN numbers, check their histories, that will give you ideas which one to go for. All cars in good conditions are good. Unless if you are looking for efficiency and resell value. But fortunately most cars sent to Nigeria can't be driven in America, only good for parts. They come naija put makeup on them, them come they shine. |

Siberia01:Toyota Camry 2014, don't go for the V6, because of fuel consumption, rather buy the 4 plug with single exhaust. |

nurey:Lexus has no resale value, consumes more fuel and difficult to maintain. U don't know what you are saying. |

Louiscars:Which very well said? Your name is Louiscars, but you know nothing about cars. You practically chosed Lexus because of its beauty. Lexus has no resale value, difficult to maintain and consumes more fuel. |

Dshocker:hmm, highly debatable. The Lexus brand is pretty much a Toyota, powertrain wise, just more refined so it also has that reliability to the touch, so you saying it’ll be difficult to maintain is wrong, that car uses a 2GR-Fe which happens to be very reliable, I think the major issue this had was an oil cooler issue which was resolved. As for fueling, Op stated fueling won’t be an issue. I gave my suggestions based on my knowledge on this vehicles, it’s not nice that you talk down on that knowledge sir. I say that with due respect, Merry Christmas |

lebete3000:Not all the 4cyl are bad actually. The 2.4L 4 cyl in camry's are not very good and often short oil. |

NikoWinaman:You talking about Lincoln Navigator, Range rover be calming down. I started driving with a manual honda integral and civic (parents car). A friend and I ran the test on the highway (lagos Ibadan) sometime 2014, using a Mitsubishi and camry both 4 plugs. I also confirm my guess driving in Ontario. Plus I watched top gear alot plus other drag races TV show, they always mention swith off the ac and wind up to get the best out of your car. The more the load on the engine the more fuel it consumes |

Dear auto professionals in the house, good evening everyone. Please i have an issues as regards my car and this issues has not been resolved till today even after i have visited multiples of mechanics and electricians. My tinny light toyota camry 1996 suddenly developed the following issues. 1, If you kick the car it ll start and steams very well, the moment you ON the Air conditioner, the car will OFF., 2, Even when the RPN is stable at 1, the moment you push the gear to drive, the car off. I have granded the top cylinder twice and replaced 4 valves as directed by the mechanic to no avail. I have changed my fuel pump, changed the injector mouth, changed airflow sensor, changed all the 4 plugs, changed the coil, changed the 4 tension wires still the issues persisted. I can only drive the car when the RPN hand is almost at 2, that's when the engine is turned very high. Can some one advise me further on the way forward please.. I need urgent help. Thank you. |

Hello professionals, please help a brother make the right call. As I no get enough funds to buy toks. I'm thinking of getting any good Honda for economic class, and less to no common faults. I'm eyeing Honda Crosstour, but I don't know the common faults it has if I can cope with (make I choose something I know I can afford it common problems). Other vehicle brands I'm looking at is Hyundai Sonata Toyota But no idea of the best model to go after Emphasis on the most easily maintained with no long list problems while using Not something that normally develop issues people don't understand I would appreciate detailed advise please Thanks in advance |
| Re: Which Of These Should I Go For As A First Car by Louiscars: 6:59pm On Nov 21, 2025 |
hizraehl:The crosstour is a great choice, basically an Honda accord with higher ground clearance. Common fault would be the VCM technology but can be resolved by using a VCM MUZZLER . ( basically applies to most Honda V6 of that era As regards other options, discard a registered sonata and try out a Toyota Camry with a 2AR engine or probably a registered rx330 or 350 that has been properly inspected. In all make sure you do due diligence and if you need more guidance and service in getting a good vehicle you can reach out to me @ 08028992075 |
