my dads golf 4 was terrible, always had one electrical fault or the other and the gearbox ( automatic ) dont even get me started. and this was a car that was only used by him to go to work and back. he got tired of it and sold it, the person who bought it tried to travel with the car from kaduna to i think it was kano and the car caught fire and that was the end of it.

shut up there, mentioning golf proves you not only know about cars but you don't even own one either..mind you being a mechanic and owning a car at two different experience.......golf is one of the easiest to maintain,cheap parts, better fuel consumption infact I started with golf 3 back in 2009 and I remember buying even 2liters of fuel and it will still take me some kilometers.i don't fear of being robbed, only an insane car snatcher will go after golf. To them it's never worth the risk....

Are you reasonably a daft or are you trying to be one.If love children like you who are manner less are still resident on NL then there is a flaw some where.I only wrote my experience and a kunt like you is rudely replying back? Are you really upright or you suffer lovelessness,coz that is what I can see from your idiocy you term a response.

Avoid anything bugatti as their fuel economy isn't friendly, at high speed you have to buy fuel every 20 minutes.

Avoid anything Rolls-Royce as its a thug magnet and flirt magnet. You get flirt from the opposite sex at any free contact. You can't Park in peace as hoodlums would mob you begging for this and that.

Avoid anything Bentley as the parts are not readily available. Even a mud flap plastic bolt has to be booked a Month from the manufacturer.

Avoid anything Lamborghini, the ground clearance is too low, any even road would hit the under continously.

Avoid anything Ferrari as the color is mostly red, people would say you got blood on your hands.

Avoid anything Porsche as it scares people away from you and they always feel you are pompous.

Please stay away from the massarati Marque the electronic technicalities in that car is for future generations.

To those of you who will ask if I have used all these cars, the answer is...

Unless you are really knowledgeable about the marquees or a mechanic who can personally handle a spanner with dexterity... I will advise you to avoid the following vehicles:

1. Peugeot 607 V6 plus automatic transmission. I won't explain.
2. BMW series whatever series either series a, series b to z. Especially automatic transmission models.
3. Landrover Freelander... Designed by the devil assembled by monkeys.. left factory for showroom with over 200 known faults... Avoid like leprosy!
4. Audi A4 Allroad... I will leave this for kingreign...
5. Nigerian used Nissan Murano... With wires hanging out in the engine bay...in fact all Nissan cars with the slightest sign of abuse..
6. Add yours as led and experienced or known.

U r correct.

Got thecar
The locks were stilm returning
Said alinator of door is bad.
Now after spoiling the motor alinator stuff
When i park or put gear in park
The doors refuse to unlock

They are heartless
And expert liars

I met a guy in Kaduna who claimed to have changed the engine and gear box of his Nigeria used Murano to that of Siena. According to him, it's been cool. @op what's your take?

Ha! I saw a Murano listed on for sale at a ridicious price. The seller specifically stated that the engine was that of a Siena. It may be the same car unless that is the trend now, I suggest no one makes such a disastrous error of buying that car.
