And about the GX460? It wasn't a GX460 you sat in.. Must be your dad's 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon.

Jagermeister:
If you know cars, you wouldn't buy a Prado bearing a 4-cyl. I wouldn't!

It rocks my senses when I find Venza's with 4-cylinders, as enormous as they are? What supports the bulk? I had it to myself for a week or so and it had the worst drive-feeling ever.

I don't care about the size of the engine, 2.7, 3.0, 3.5.. You don't fit a Prado with a 4-cyl. This is where Toyota gets it wrong.. And this is all for economy sakes. Lexus has a better resolution, this is why even the Rx300 has a V6, as compact as it is.

Did you forget that 2.7L 4-cyl in a Prado(and Co) is supported with an auxiliary gear that improves it's off-road ability? It still doesn't extinguish it's miserly 4-cylindered nature.

It's people like you that would put a higher price tag in favour of a 4-cyl.

Well, to each his own.

Different vehicle demands different engine.

BMW, an industry leading builder of extreme performance vehicles, have gone back to 4 cylinder engines, mostly.

I've played with a lot of cars. From 35 horsepower Austin Mini to 300 horsepower Mitsubishi Evolution.

My current sled is a MINI Cooper S with turbocharged 4 cylinders, there has never been a day that I've wished for a V6 engine in it.

So, to each his own.

Comprehension really is a tough thing in this part of the world. You're totally right. I was wrong to share my thoughts on this one. Good day

NgcoboP:
You conveniently left out your 6cylinders powered 4Runner abi?

GAZZUZZ:

NgcoboP:
I loathe that engine you displayed therein. The picture or appearance gives me goose bumps..

Fixed!

Lols at "Mr Tesla".

You never got back to that topic.

Guess you realized you were wrong.

How do you feel with Harvey and Irma battering the US, Mr Hydrocarbon?

Edit:

Correct the typo.

It's naturally aspirated.

Not naturally aspired.

Since its showoff your engine day here is mine , A VQ35HR, when you look at the engine what do you see? Nothing offcourse, so also on track you see nothing as the dust settles on yah wind shield

nurey:
When buying things, environment plays a major part. It's useless coming from the ikorodu to lekki everyday driving a heavy engine in a car, you get hooked in traffic and all that power wasted without use.

V6,V8,V12 are good enough for highway driving especially the saloon cars, so if majority of use would be freeway throttling no problem if not, buy a picanto aside, ride the picanto to work and every weekend floor the gas with the breeze jeering your face in a G35x or M35x

Waiting for the Haters

OP, you sure say you no go change mouth?

me likey

greenhulk:
I've use naturally aspirtated 4 cylinders all my life until last year when I decided to go with v6 and oh boy there's not turning back. The power and torque when accelerating, the quiet cabin and just ease of driving is very satisfying. I know there are some turbo charged 4 cylinders that make more horsepower but talking about naturally aspirated engine here. Will I still buy 4 cyinder? Yes but as a second car while I keep my V6 for those long distance journeys.

Jagermeister:
Never.. I need at least 200 horsepowers.

You sef, talk true.. You never drive that car before? Is it quick? Can you race it with the 268 HP V6?

Readonee35L:
The 2.7L in the fortuner and hiace is just a lousy fool.
I like toyota. But the 2.7L has average power and Nigerians only buy it because they want to eat their cake and have it(Fuel economy). Most of them think all 4cylinders have good mpg. Smh.
The 2.7 is reliable but not very powerful.
I will never buy the 4cylinder variant of the Prado. It's too lousy for my liking.
The 2.7 4cylinder was available in middle east countries where Prado, hilux and Co were really cherished .
They put it in the 2010 4runner but people complained and it was replaced with the standard v6.in the following years.

The 2.7 4banger was placed in the new tacomer but only available on the lower trims and they’re almost all extended-cab only, which no dealers are going to want to sell. I just don’t get why they bothered putting it in that truck.
The 2.7L is only 2mpg better than its v6 variant which doesn't even make any sense.







Best Engine platforms ever.
VQ.
Honda J series . Almighty v6
3mz and 2gr are pretty okay.
1Jz, 2jz . Toyota. Original V6
The Benz V6 are not bad too.


I care about my environment and I know the harmful things fumes and other poisonous gas does too our environment.
Most automobile brands are replacing their v6 for Turbo Charged 4bangers.
E.g Ford, Honda , Mercedes and few others.
It's a good option because it's safer for the environment and provides better mpg.

But most turbo engines will not cross 300k miles without carrying out a major repair.
For does who don't know. Turbo charging is Forced Induction . Squeezing out as much power from a small engine as possible.

Imagine a small 4cylinder pouring 380Horse power. It sounds fun until it blows. And when you see the quoted bill for repairs you'd scream out loud.

Are Nigerians ready for turbo as daily drivers ? NO.

Take a look at clean turbo passats that enters Nigeria. And they end up with a Golf 3 engine withing two years.


Honda Accord has no v6 variant anymore.
They phased out my favorite J35 engine( Almighty Formula )
And replaced it for a 2.0T. Terrible

EgunMogaji:
Do you not have a life? Go get a hobby or boyfriend instead of cataloging me you toad.

I also have a 2 cylinder motorcycle, did you forget that you asshat?

Jagermeister:
Hmmmm.. The Mitsubishi Evo. Loads and loads of Turbo lags.

This is why I'll never buy a BMW.. With their heavy electronics. It's not wonder these cars start a fire on their own even while they are parked and self-destruct.

About your Mini... Told ya I don't like Turbo-charged engines. I'm sure you know why.

Jagermeister:
Bro I'm sure he meant no disrespect.

We're a family here, we don't fight, if anything we cover and look after each other.

I had called you on the phone sometime last year when you were in Nigeria asking for help over my 2009 Camry, remember?

Gazzuzz gifted me a 1az fe engine for my 2003 Camry. For free oh.

So you see, we're a family here, you just never know who u'll have to turn to in this forum.

No need for the names sire Eguns.

greenhulk:
I can't even imagine the drive feel on a Prado with 4 cylinder. As big as that thing is then powered by 4 cyl? wtf.

Jagermeister:
The 'naturally-aspired' wasn't a typo error. It's what I thought it was. I know better now.

That topic? I did get back to it actually.. Sadly, you didn't notice.

Harvey and Irma is our problem too because a vast majority of those cars are coming in here.

Oh yes you did call me Mr Hydrocarbon which is actually what I represent in reality. Hmmm. I'm quite certain that there are no functional electric cables standing in Florida right now ( to avoid an electrocution, of course). So tell me, how did you recharge your EV, Mr Tesla?

Jagermeister:
Lmao. Typical Nigerian. 145/ litre. It's not the looks of the engine that robs you of sleep at night, it's the abyss you think it'll create in your bank account. But u're wrong.
