@heavenlybang and cityngr I know there were V4 for cars way back but for now we should just say no V4 because they are virtually extinct and nobody is going to make one for cars anytime soon

Well I still saw one very recently.

those engines were fitted in cars of 1920s even if you saw one in Nigeria I am certain if it's working it has undergone engine trasplant

It was still functioning in a commercial vehicle.

Please house,
Between a manual transmission and an automatic transmission; which one has more advantages...?

I mean as regards maintenance...

manual needs little maintenance and attention

Automatic needs timely maintenance and attention.

manual gear vehicles are cheaper to buy than automatic of same model and year.

During inspection a novice female driver can tell a faulty manual gear while a hardcore driver may not known when auto is faulty or flaring.

Manual gear are easy to replace or fix when faulty and won't totally render a vehicle grounded. Automatic gear when faulty can ground your car and get you stranded.

Manual gear in lags traffic causes leg cramps known as pajapaja in yoruba, Auto certainly doesn't and when it happens you can improvise with the left leg

Thank you Thank you, you far too kind, can I get the Encore,... coke and rum with the mushin boys for last time I need all to shout

nothing like v4 it's a mistake most people make its i4 (in line 4 cylinder) meaning the engine is a 4 cylinder arranged in a straight line.

V6 is six cylinder arranged in a variety shaped 3 cylinders each at opposite sides.

I6 or i5 is in line six and 5 cylinder respectively arranged in a straight line to each other.

none is better than the other depends on application. But on a lay man's terms considering the camry you are eyeing I4 for fuel economy pick the V6 for speed.

God bless you sir

God bless your knowledge sir. Please can we have 2.4L that is V6 and 2.5L that is i4?

Do you have the idea of the cost of foreign used clean 09, 2.5L V6 camry?

rationalmind:
Looks like Im alone on this, never considered the RX to be of good looks.

In the Toyota/lexus line, I only consider the ES350, the IS250/350, Toyota Venza, Camry 07-11, Lexus LC and the 2013-date Avalon to be of good looks.

thank u bro,i thought am d only one who doesn't like RX look, it look like tushed up golf

Corolla. If it was against the Civic I would say Civic.

shape wise I personally don't like the Honda city, it also doesn't age well, it also uses cvt. it's reliability isn't questionable though. it has one funny engine type 4cylinder with 8 plugs. if you like it and within your budget it's a vehicle you can count on.

I personally will recommend the corolla the only bad thing about it is I get jittery when driving it at odd hours and I always drive definsively in it. my hand never leaves the gear lever at night in case they block me in front I am ready to reverse no surprises.

That's my fear with the corolla too.
What's you stake on 2001 c180?

The way you answer my questions really shows you know what you are talking about.

I can conclude that for any 6 cylinder, it is 3.5L. and it can be any of models 07 to 011.

Also, is 07 camry , 3.5L and 6 Cylinders a good car . if there is any car like that? I am sorry if I'm not making sense. I am a layman here.

HRtechnique:

Yes if and only if

1. the valve seals in the engine are still in mint condition

2. No sludge on engine because the detergent in synthetic will wash the sludge and block the engine that's the end of such engine.

3. depends on level of wear and tear in that engine and synthetic oil weight.

yes any 6 cylinder of that bracket year for camry is 3.5L

yes the 07 V6 has a good gear so you are good to go.

Thanks sir. You have really helped me. God bless you

Would you advise me to choose 09 i4 over 09 v6 because of fuel economy?

My oga not really, just for laughs. I can also quote several times you've encouraged several persons on here to ditch their abused rides in favor of the rugged and durable Volvo.
On a side note, I'm typing this from inside an 08 Volvo s60 and without doubt this is a much better ride than my W211

Much better ride than a w211?
I doubt
Well, to each his own.

True that bro.

I didn't generalise all W211's, i was subjective enough to specify that it was better than my own w211.

Bro, leave that thing, your W211 is sweet o. the way that car sits on the ground, it's panoramic roof, it's headlamp everything. That car set die.

That's why I didn't judge
What kind of w211 do you drive?
Also can you tell me how the Volvo is better than your 211?

It's an E350 4matic. The simplicity in design from Volvo does it for me, everything in a Benz is over engineered. I mean you must read owners manual to save common seat positions, mirrors and so many small issues. That volvo everything just dey in front, i no stress myself at all. That in itself is a big deal breaker for me.

Yeah, it's one fine and sleek Merc
