.....ahahahahahahhhahahhaha....did u say boku!!!!!!!!
Na good news b dt so far.

So for a 6.5" tall dude, which of them would you recommend?

Cost range of btw 800k-1.4m max
When buying a Peugeot it's is always better to buy the manual transmission, Peugeot and automatic nah bone of contention.

I did say 206 I have driven it and I am very tall, it's comfortable for the driver but the rear passenger leg room suffers. 406 too is good, 407, 307 all these are within range of your budget.

Peugeot doesn't like electrical abuse very sensitive, timing belt too needs replacement with original. Then if you can afford pp2000 for scanning the car, you will enjoy your Peugeot.

You never considered that the person you are advising may get stuck in the middle of nowhere with an angry Peugeot..... Or maybe it's just you been narcissistic.

Civic is 3 years younger than vibe

Civic has less mileage than the vibe.

The Civic interior has leather, digital speedometer and not as ordinary as the vibe.

Vibe has an AWD variant for better traction.

vibe has cargo carrying capacity and ground clearance than the Civic.

fuel economy for both is close.
What is your recommendation

Yes the highlander wasn't marketed as an offroad vehicle, it wasnt even built to be one. It was meany to be driven on roads. Bar the absence of a locking differential and transfer case and proper LSD, that crossover is good for what it is. So what's the devilish deception about it?

Ignore weyreypey who's never owned a highlander.

I have no idea why anyone would ever think of the Highlander as anything resembling an off-road vehicle. Isn't it just a bigger, lifted Camry? A Honda Pilot is way more capable off-road. 4runner if Toyota is the choice.

There's also nothing special or complicated about the Highlander. No idea what that lunatic is talking about.

Honda Accord 2003 to 2007

03 to 05 is EOD

06 and 07 is DC
difference is exterior upgrade and engine tweaking. It's advice able to buy 05 to 07 as 03 and 04 gear were very unreliable.
Thanks bro.
So btw the EOD 05 and the DC 06-07 which is more cheaper to maintain especially in terms of fuel economy and parts purchase?

Bosses. I greet u all. I have taken time to read most of the important through ad and am learning. Weldone.

Please advice.

Please advice.
1. Get a very competent auto technician who is an expert in VW/Audi.
2. Read up online, familiarise yourself with common faults with thia particular model. Just to know more about the car. Particularly the engine.
3. Stick to recommended oil grade.
4. STay away from kazeem. Dont throw parts when the car has a fault. Find a professional not a magician.
5. Join online forums a d seek information on your particular car. Ask questions too even if its stoopid
6. Before any repairs ensure U carr out through scan of the faulty system. Avoid kazeem. Dont throw parts.


I heard that engine can be very expensive. So be careful to take great care of her. A friend uses a 2009 audi A4, similar engine 2.0 TSi. Serves him superbly. He prefers it for journeys compared to his honda. So have no fear bro. Thats a great sweet ride U got there.
Congratulations.

I believe they use similar parts. Just the body panel design and interior might be different but electricals and engine seem to be same. Make oga Nurey come clarify sha.

There is only minor exterior difference both maintenance should be same as 95% parts are shared.

same 2.4L i4 and same 3.0L V6 gear for 05 to 07 is solid than 03 and 04.

people are afraid of Volkswagen and it's not far fetched, they majorly have electrical wahala some minor while others are major, the vehicle is luxurious enough so has some high-tech gadgets and wiring that will fail after a long use (nothing last forever).

My advice to you though is to always work with a scan tool when faults arise like car in limp mode, miss firing etc look for a professional who knows about VW/AUDI or you research symptoms of a problem the car develops and guide kazeem on what to do while monitoring with close marking.

CIAO

The day someone's Passat cc engine shut down, no specialist mech in Uyo, Lagos, Abuja or PH could resurrect it. Replaced engine no start, replaced every replaceable, no start. Omor na tow they towed it to be scrapped o after 2years of sitting and laughing at him while milking him dry.

This would be an interesting comparison. I favor the FX to come out top in raw power and drive thrill after driving a friends own from Lagos to Benin, and the Pilot to win in practicality and fuel economy.
