Modecaih:
GLE you mean

Nope, it's smaller, more efficient brother. That's just as sweet!(er)

DeeScan:
they have this food in which rice is marshed until it almost has the same texture with semo .. it's eaten with a part icular brown soup made from groundnut ..

Don't know what's called but it's hella spicy 🥵🥵🥵

Omutuwo!!

Hehe. It's mostly semi-raw peppers, to make a semi-raw gravy. They would normally take this with 'Kenke' or Banku. And they sure Love this with roasted Tilapia fish.

Ghanaians sure do know their fish. They'd tell You exactly the type of fish they are eating. They also sell a tiny specie of fish, really tiny, I think it's called 'One man million'.

Some other Ghanian foods are Coconte, fufu, Waakye(pronounced wache).
Soups are Palm nut soup, Groundnut soup(not very nice), Lite soup(fiery and nice, like peppersoup) and normal Okro soup.

Nyame shraö

First time seeing this Car in white.

Wow

Kewtt:

How did you arrive at it being fuel efficient?

Lol, You is a bad man..

Kelklein:
My honest opinion.. find 2m.. look for 04 Camry buy.. you go get better peace of mind.

Kia/Hyundai too get wahala.. esp if the engine begin get issue, e no dey hear abeg.. plus the parts are super expensive.

I have used '13 Hyundai Accent.. so I know!!

Thank you for this Sir.

Shellsploit:
Just buy korope "shuttle" ~ daihatsu hijet and have rest of mind!
Speaking from experience.

Honestly Sir, I wouldn't doubt you. With more experience in Nigeria, one will completely leave 'fine car' for the pure water, mostly available cheap maintenence car. I am learning now. But I would wish to have something that's a smaller car and not a bus.

nurey:
If nah dana specs (bought brandnew in Nigeria) please avoid. Those bought in as tokunbo is better

I think its the 'Dana' you mentioned Sir. I think it started its life in Nigeria.

Good evening Nairaland.

Nairaland is a great place. We look out for each other, I have never gotten anything less than a very-warm welcome when I call a nairaland vendor to purchase something, or ask information, even from total (nairaland)strangers.

I am looking to buy a Nigerian used 2011 Kia Rio. I was using a 2012 Skoda Fabia which was more or less gifted to me.
Skoda's are good cars to drive. They drive well and feel solid. They feel like tanks. But they are delicate and sensitive. One part has failed after another, and I have spent a lot on parts in exactly one year, I received it a Year ago.

Now, abandoning/returning the working car, I want something that could even be as crude as an ero(Yoruba for pepper grinding machine) but has four wheels and can take me from A to B, with just servicing, or tiny repairs(I have heard great testimonies from Toyota users about this)

Sadly my money can't get any toyota that looks okay. I am now stepping down to a Kia rio. I think it should be a good idea. I am very good with street knowledge, and I think that Nigerians after using the car then and dumping it; They then revisited it and realized that Kia did make Strong cars! ( I think this occured with the Peugeot 406 and 2007 Honda civic also).

But the Skoda left me scarred and traumatized, and so I don't want to move from Frying-pan to anything even remotely-hot

1. Is my assertion about the 2007 to 2011 Kia rio "strongness" true? (just so I am reconfirming)
2. Please! To God! Will this car let me not see a mechanic workshop more than 4 times in 2 years?
3. Since its a Nigerian used car that seems roughly used somehow, even though they said they changed to tokunbo engine; is there anyway I can scan with certainty that it can still serve me well, and give me (fair)peace of mind for 4years?

My budget for the Car is 1.7 million and the rio I saw seemed to make that budget inclusive of spraying and mechanical fixes to be done(surely there will be some fixes to be done).

Please nairalanders! help me! I dont want the trauma from car repairs again.

Camry Hybrid '10

Tor, I used to preach this Hybrid story soo much, even before Tinubu subsidy removal Era. It's a rather stable technology, which the whites have conquered; and moved beyond long ago.

It should definitely be Toyota, but I think I prefer/recommend proper prius, or a more recent camry hybrid, like those 2013 generations.

But it still stands that it's a big gamble in Nigeria. The technical know-how of mechanics is low, and the mechanics are even few. And also getting good replacement batteries(spares) is a tad' difficult. The mega importers/scrappers/breakers, should begin to focus on spare Hybrid batteries, so that we can have more around, and the adoption/adsorption rate of (toyota)hybrids is a lot more. It will help us all!

That's a Dawn.

My Dear Broda, My car is a 2012 1.6l Skoda and I get around 30mpg. But still, to cope(and cope very well), I pick passengers whenever My journey involves an express. E no pass like that oh!
