Pros: Very good car, rugged and reliable, parts readily available

Cons: prone to theft, suspension system likely to succumb to the many bad roads on the interstate highways

Advice: coming soon Since you will be doing a lot of interstate travelling, with heavy distance and many bad roads buy a RAV4 of equivalent year. Has all the advantages of the drop light and beats its cons by far

Thanks bro I really appreciate ur advise but you know Nigerian mentality with you esp when u ve a big car. here in Dutse pple dont really use jeep (Big cars in Nigerian language) &not to raise suspicions at work or maybe I've made lotta money that's why I wana go for car

But nevertheless this other wagon is on my mind

If you are going for a car,I'll sugest you buy Toyota Corola starting from 2004 upward.If its SUV,buy RAV4 as suggested by other person.

since you are using it in dutse, the avensis/carina E is better than the camry. Though nobody would steal your Toyota in the north but the carina is more common and parts would be easy to source from kano incase they are not available in jigawa. Also a wagon is more appropriate you can see cheap foodstuffs to buy down south what easier way to carry it.

Don't bank on 17hrs drive to jigawa on a bad day the okenne traffic is around 5hrs during day time.

Kaduna inter change traffic

Kano city traffic am guessing you will link jigawa through kazaure.

Goodluck

I don't really know but I doubt if you can get to jigawa within 17hrs the fastest I got to kano was 16hrs in a luxurious bus and it was an over night trip.

Your vehicle can't handle the bad roads, add check points, day light traffic and rest stops also your 1.8/2.0L engine isn't built for acceleration. If you leave ibadan around 6am you should have passed okenne and Abuja expressway by day which are the daredevil hotspot of that journey.

Your concern shouldn't be to get there early but to get there in one piece

Really? but i've once rode my friend's own to Lagos and went almost 130km/hr and the car made a lil sense tho I was enjoying it but really ion really know about the Camry's ability to endure a long distance travel over time

Any car would make the 1000km journey as long as it's in a good working condition.

you can buy the camry if that's what you prefer just ensure you put security in place you know the history of that model and thieves.
