What about 2004 Honda Pilot, is it also a good SUV I saw where nurey said from 2006 and above is good.

It's okay to me...
You just have to be careful because it's a sensitive vehicle

Prone to transmission failures and VTM-4 malfunctions, then is the legendary rear wheel squat!

Most of the mechanical parts are not the same with Asia/America Civics. Only front brake pads is same with other Civics.

I bought a Naija used, converted from Auto-Manual to Automatic transmission.

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by ade95: 8:12pm On Jan 01, 2021
Guys , please I need your opinions on Mazda 6 from 2012 upward in terms of efficiency , parts , fuel etc


Also 2010 TSx vs Camry —— the TSx gets my attention in terms of beauty , but I need a relatively easy to maintain car , readily available part and repairers plus efficiency... thanks in anticipation

Hi guys, I have been thinking of getting a new car lately and I have Corolla 07 and matrix 010 in mind.
Considering the fuel efficiency and cost of maintenance, which one will you advise me to go for?

Thank you

Mazda has no followers, parts are expensive when available. If you intend to stand out for 2 years and dispose off of the car good remember anything mazda very low resale value in Nigeria.

2010 TSX very good but I believe premium fuel was recommended for it compared to the predecessor.

Camry no much talk you already know it is good

Lexus IS said to produce the most reliable luxury cars for the cast majority globally but does this also apply to their flagship SUV? Does it really live up to its expectations in terms of power and luxury?

GS350 is more reliable.
C300 parts are more available.
Maintenence costs are similar.


However, the GS350 is a much better car. Better ride quality, better interior, way better engine.
Thanks boss
