Always love your thread Josh!


We can relate to this,
But, After all these,
The thing is that Honda is still one of the most reliable and trusted car in Nigeria for many decades now, we think only Toyota is slightly ahead of Honda for many years till now.
HONDA ROCKS!



Can someone kindly help this gentleman to make a good decision please?

Use to have a Crosstour till 2015, and it never disappointed for a day.
Durable and trustworthy.



Crosstour are advanced Honda full of technologies

Compare to the previous years of Honda

Any day any time crosstour and Evil spirit are the best


Poverty makes people buying baby boy and EOD

Trust me crosstour still leading far better than venza

Have a Pilot 2007 that I bought almost a year ago. No ball joint issue so far. I have also never seen any Honda Pilot "burst leg" for road. I think the ball joint issue applies mostly to Honda Accord 2003-2007 (EOD & DC) and occasionally Civic 2005-2007.
thank you, this is same as my thought, I'm grateful

For honda owners and lovers like us, these are not issues at all. Driving honda is bae. The drive quality, sound system, interior and exterior design is way beyond the league of Toyota. Don't forget that Honda engine doesn't die.

Hi Guys, please I need your candid advise[color=#000099][/color]. I want to get a Honda Accord 04/05. Which do you think is better in terms of reliability. And give your reasons while you feel I should get it. I await your response. Thanks...

What is ATF?

Automatic TRANSMISSION Fluid.

I have been guilty of using ATF in PS but i know better now. Now, i use engine oil instead in the absence of the real PS fluid. I learnt the hard way that engine oil is a better subtitute of PS oil oil than ATF.

In the same vein, those who do not know that the source of constant PS problem is ATF also do not know that the constant keg problem is chinko ball joints. My own mechanic has even stopped installing chinko ball joints on his clients cars for fear of been blamed.

That issue has even been corrected from the 2008 model upwards
RealDonaldTrump:
The ball joint problem is a Nigerian road problem. I have not seen 1 honda car in 4 years with a dislocated ball joint here in USA. This information might help buyers know that it is a bad road issue and not the car itself
Re: 4 Common Problems Honda Users In Nigeria Complain About by smeag0l(m): 9:56pm On Aug 21, 2019
From 2008 actually. The ball joint issue ended with Honda discussion continues.

There two types of ball joints for Honda EOD and DC, the one with a tiny neck and the one with a thick neck.
Always ensure you go for the one with a thick neck. With this, your EOD or DC will not be experiencing ball joints failure no matter how rough the road is.


What do you mean by tiny neck and thick neck?

I don't know his current mileage but if its between 120-150k, i will encourage him to not touch any of the oils except engine oil for a very long while. This assumption is based on the fact that the prescribed maintenance period of these oils is about 100k miles so most of the owners would either sell the car before it to avoid the cost or do it.

He will be safer with OEM PS oil, transmission oil and brake fluid than a fake one out here. He should avoid any ATF he sees on the street whether for steering or transmission.

Thank you for the reply. God bless you. Pls give recommendations for a good OEM PS oil

Is it at minimum already?

For engine oil, any 5w20 or 5w30 would be great.

Yes it is

There is a leak and a leak doesn't hide.

Also find out if you bought the car with the low PS fluid or if it keeps going down.

Lastly, for your pump's sake, gauge the oil before it starts to whine.

Re: 4 Common Problems Honda Users In Nigeria Complain About by Kdude: 10:41pm On Nov 20, 2019
Hello everyone.

I stumbled on this trend because I'm trying to dig out some facts on Honda City 2008 i-vtec.

I even read posts of several arguments on Honda and Toyota - everyone advocates based on their experiences.

I'm currently using three brands ranging from Honda to Volkswagen and Ford. I have the three in my garage. Each has got it's on Pro and Cons.

Honda technicians and parts are all over the nation.

Volkswagen technician are sparsely over the nation but concentrated in the northern region.

Ford is even the worst of the three; I drive inter-city to fix it.

My submission is:

*Buy a car you can maintain* *, in fact, have a budget per season*

1. No brand is too bad or too good

2. Some of our mechanics are causing more damages to cars.

3. Some car users are not ready to fix their cars as suggested/ expected.

4. Avoid buying Nigerian used vehicle if you don't know its history.


Since I've discovered a good technician and personally I've got a good ear to detect unwanted noise, I've been enjoying all the cars. I run a diagnosis on my car if the fault is not eye saw or wheel inclined before putting a tool.

On Nairaland, CVT issues have been discussed at length to scare any prospect.

CVT seems to be the next transmission technology.

However, if you maintain any CVT according to the manufacturer's counsel; you may have no such issues not until many many years.

I PROPOSE WE SHARE MORE OF CARS ISSUES AND THEIR SOLUTIONS TO HELP ANYONE OUT THERE.

STILL AIMING HONDA CITY 2008/9.

Re: 4 Common Problems Honda Users In Nigeria Complain About by speedfreak(m): 7:02am On Jan 13, 2020
Lol,funny enough I can only relate to 2(transmission failure) Grew up with Honda,first car I learnt how to drive in was an 86 Accord,since then it’s been Honda all through, presently have 4 cars in my house all Hondas,my mum drives an 2010 Crv,sister drives a 2005 Accord i4,I drive a 2005 accord v6, and we have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline for poultry and farm work,you see that ball joint issue everyone is complaining about we’ve never had it and I used two models notorious for that issue 98 Accord baby boy and 03 civic,transmission failed on both cars tho because we were using oando atf for servicing. Personally I’d never touch a Toyota except maybe the (2020 Camry TRD),Toyota’s just lack features,reliable yes but no personality. My 2005 v6 popularly called EOD has more features and technology than 2007 to 2010 Camry(factory navigation,mad ass stereo,Gorgeous bodylines and that sweet sweet VTEC(accelerates like a dream). Fanboy aside, the issues you need to worry about with any Honda is the intolerance of abuse(particularly wrong fluids), power steering would always fail on higher mileage cars(200k and above) same as central locks on accords(usually the drivers door sensor),oil shorting with no leaks (ringing)rebuilt more engines than I care to count,transmission would always go kaput from 180k, a little longer if you used DW-1. Key is proper maintenance, toks always have lesser issues because they have been properly maintained, have a friend who bought a toks 2002 Accord just last year and it still drives like a dream even with its dreaded j30 v6 engine,would be a year in March and he hasn’t fixed anything just regular tri monthly oil changes. Pro Honda any day any time

I personally think the ball joint issue in Honda are caused by poor maintenance and very bad roads,I was having similar problems till I ran away from Honda and got an Acura TL and have drove the Acura for 4 years now no ball joint surprise,I started hearing creaking noise on my right Tyre anytime I enter small pothole and I foolishly neglected to check it out,the noise continued for 4 months and on 1 January 2020 I got a well packaged Honda surprise,the ball joint pulled off and I had to kick myself.
