Trust me this car still drives fine, just little work on the gearbox and you are set to tour Nigeria.

There's nothing like little work to be done on a transmission.
It's either a transmission works or not.

That list is not complete without nissan.
The Nissan altima is ahead of the Camry and Accord in terms of fuel economy.

If you want good fuel economy.
Toyota Prius
Try toyota corolla.
Honda Civic
Nissan Sentra
Volkswagen Jetta
Toyota Camry 2012 and above is very eco friendly

U just read my mind...


Sars na confirmed criminal job dem dey do.... They force innocent people to pay 100k, 150k, 200k, 400k to safe their people....


Sars na criminal secret police job.....

Correct.

SamzackD:
dude I know of the braking system,

but what I'm asking is which kind car you wan buy wey you no go fit drive comot for your street.

it seems you live in Okoko or okota .
Because the lagos where I live has good roads.
Besides if I have this ride.
I will have a flat bed hooked to the back of my pickup. So I can take it to some areas with bad roads.

SamzackD:
Yah, you'll probably be cruising at that speed in the sky,

cause if naija road no spoil that car, dangote trucks or danfo drivers go help you spoil am

And who tell you say better road no they lagos?
You think the braking system is like that of toyota camry.
That car goes from. 200mph+ to zero real quick

The Chiron is one of does cars I will spend my money on.
Engineering at its best .
Imaging cruising at 200MPH with one hand on the sterring wheel, I Mean MPH not KMPH.
Cars that bring Joy and Happiness. The exhaust sound alone puts smiles on faces .

God is the only one that can do this kind of blessing for me.

HMMMMM.
I don't know weather to feel sorry for this man or even be excited.
If you know the evils this Sars people do to innocent citizens you will be happy about this man's death. They drive civilian cars around disguising and doing illegal work terrorizing innocent people.

I don't wish anyone evil.
But I know people get what they deserve.
This is his own destiny.
Karma at work

The 2.7 is reliable but not very powerful.
I will never buy the 4cylinder variant of the Prado. It's too lousy for my liking.
The 2.7 4cylinder was available in middle east countries where Prado, hilux and Co were really cherished .


yet dey repeated it in 2018 model.
See donkey power

This is scam

Just imagine .
A Base I4 Camry has more horsepower than a Base Prado I4.

The 2.7L i4 is only 2mpg better than its v6 variant which doesn't even make any sense.
V6 should be standard in the Prado. Rather than the noise i4 engine. If you accelerate that 4cyl Prado, the engine sound is more like that of a mazda bus.


There's a reason why toyota Prado is not available in the USA because real car enthusiasts won't buy that scrap piece of metal with shiťťy interior and cheap plastics. even if it's available in the USA a used one won't exceed $15,000usd.

The middle east regions and nigerian market with low government requirements is where the Prado will sell. It's brother the Lexus Gx is doing pretty well with good specs in the USA

The toyota Prado is not a bad ride. But it does not worth the hype.

get enlightened and stop being myopic about the use of short words on Twitter. twitter allows 140 character per tweet so anyone that cant communicate well within such limits doesnt deserve to be on twitter. Even donald trump uses abbreviations on twitter

Mr oversabi that sentence is not up to 140 characters without abbreviation. Stop celebrating mediocrity.

Have to agree with you that the 2.7L is lousy but it works! And while I'll never have it if I could afford the Prado, it's great on the Hilux & Hiace. Feels like bulletproof. The exhaust notes are terrible on the Prado TX-L tho.

About turbocharging, I'm indifferent for now as it's gradually taking over the world. I've had an experience with the 2.0 TSI on the Passat (2009). Very little lag but reliable (This wasn't in Nigeria). It did 157K KMs with no major repairs. It's sad Honda replaced the J35. I'm still happy Toyota has it's 4.0L V6 on the 4runner so whenever I can afford it, I will.

When driving cars like the Tundra with the 5.7L iForce V8, the environment is the least of my concerns . Drove a 2009 model back in 2013 from Lagos to Enugu and the music from the exhaust is still fresh in my head

Nice.
You sabi better thing .

Kufie:
I think it's wrong for you to say all 4 Cylinder engines are crap. Different automakers have various technologies behind their builds. I'm not a fan of 4 Cylinder power units either but I have to give it to Toyota's 2.7L found on the Hilux/Hiace/Fortuner/Prado. That's a really good one. Honda's 1.8 iVTEC on the Civic (2008) is brilliant and a tough one too. Not all 4 Cylinder engines are crap please.

PS. The interior of the 2014 GX460 is rather distasteful for a car from 2014.

The 2.7L in the fortuner and hiace is just a lousy fool.
I like toyota. But the 2.7L has average power and Nigerians only buy it because they want to eat their cake and have it(Fuel economy). Most of them think all 4cylinders have good mpg. Smh.
The 2.7 is reliable but not very powerful.
I will never buy the 4cylinder variant of the Prado. It's too lousy for my liking.
The 2.7 4cylinder was available in middle east countries where Prado, hilux and Co were really cherished .
They put it in the 2010 4runner but people complained and it was replaced with the standard v6.in the following years.

The 2.7 4banger was placed in the new tacomer but only available on the lower trims and they’re almost all extended-cab only, which no dealers are going to want to sell. I just don’t get why they bothered putting it in that truck.
The 2.7L is only 2mpg better than its v6 variant which doesn't even make any sense.







Best Engine platforms ever.
VQ.
Honda J series . Almighty v6
3mz and 2gr are pretty okay.
1Jz, 2jz . Toyota. Original V6
The Benz V6 are not bad too.


I care about my environment and I know the harmful things fumes and other poisonous gas does too our environment.
Most automobile brands are replacing their v6 for Turbo Charged 4bangers.
E.g Ford, Honda , Mercedes and few others.
It's a good option because it's safer for the environment and provides better mpg.

But most turbo engines will not cross 300k miles without carrying out a major repair.
For does who don't know. Turbo charging is Forced Induction . Squeezing out as much power from a small engine as possible.

Imagine a small 4cylinder pouring 380Horse power. It sounds fun until it blows. And when you see the quoted bill for repairs you'd scream out loud.

Are Nigerians ready for turbo as daily drivers ? NO.

Take a look at clean turbo passats that enters Nigeria. And they end up with a Golf 3 engine withing two years.


Honda Accord has no v6 variant anymore.
They phased out my favorite J35 engine( Almighty Formula )
And replaced it for a 2.0T. Terrible

GAZZUZZ:

crappy car. GDI crappy, V6 crappy. Best bet, get the naturally aspirated I4 with fuel injection.

That car is not offered with a v6 option.

The available engines are.

2.0 L Theta 163 hp (122 kW), I4
2.0 L Theta Turbo 274 hp (204 kW), I4[26]
2.4 L Theta II 176 hp (131 kW), I4
2.4 L Theta GDi, 200 hp (150 kW), I4


Most common ones offered In USA and African market is the 2.4L theta II and 2.4 Gdi

obekediamondfuto:
lolz my oga wen I read it I just bone, I think what gazzuzz meant was TPS throttle position sensor, not TPMS that's for the sensor that monitors tire pressure.

LOL.
Na GAZZUZZ cause commotion for here.

seunoresco:
yes the TPMS : TPMS = Throttle Positioning Monitoring Sensor . Am suspecting its the culprit. Get a technician to check the input wires to the sensor

Chai.
I dn laugh fall for chair o.

Bros Tpms means Tire-pressure monitoring system

princetom1:
Hmnnn.... This is our highlander o

I really like the look and modifications + the wheels.
But under the hood is a little evil.

greenhulk:
This is so true, the ground clearance is just too much and affects cornering. But very comfortable and ideal for long distance journey on the highway, and it is pretty fast too.. that v6 engine is a beast. Though terrible mpg in city driving, decent on highway.

The way the rear of the car bounces after speed bumps is funny.
You can feel the weight .

If you floor that ride and down shift a lot like I do. Mpg will suffer.
But I'm used to the fuel economy
Mpg is not too bad if the car is excellent condition and you drive it gently .

greenhulk:
If it drives like a sedan isn't that a good thing? I mean who doesn't like an SUV with lots of cargo space and good ground clearance, decent off-road capability and still drives like a sedan. I wish my SUV drives like a sedan. Though there are lots of suv that drives like a sedan much more than the Highlander. The more it drives like a sedan the better unless u are going to do some serious off-road.

Haha.
You wish bro.
The 03-08 pilot drives like a tank.
All thanks to the j35 v6 motor. The suv is fast but not really light on its feet .
It's heavy.

I've driven. The 2011-2013 highlander . And I will tell you it's really nice . The 2GR v6 engine in that car is more responsive and it's fast too.
You can attain speeds of 160kmph with little stress and it still feels balanced.
Nice interior and a beautiful masculine look.
the 2014 -2017 will actually be better and smarter.
It's gonna be rugged also.
The only reason why you shouldn't choose it is because parts might be more expensive. But since you can afford it please go for the new design. 2014 -^
