Thanks for your contribution sir.

So I'll narrow my search to 2007/2008.

nurey:
It's only in Nigeria that the 3MZ has a better fuel economy than @2GR, while in reality the 2GR is either better or on par for the sienna

Please I need advice from experienced owners and mechanics.

Between Toyota Sienna 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, which is the best in terms of engine durability, fuel economy, and maintenance cost?

I understand that 2004–2006 use the 3.3L V6 engine, while 2007 introduced the 3.5L engine.

Which year would you recommend and what common faults should I inspect before buying one?

Dear all

I need advice from experienced owners and mechanics. Between Toyota Sienna 2004–2007, which model year is the best in terms of reliability, engine durability, and maintenance cost?

Hello 234drive. Kindly assist with the best Sienna between 2004-2007

Hi everyone,

I’m in the market for a reliable SUV with a budget of around ₦5,000,000 and I’m torn between two used models:

🚗 Lexus RX 300 – 2003
🚙 Toyota Highlander – 2004

I’d like to get your opinions based on experience, reliability, running cost, maintenance, parts availability, resale value, comfort, fuel economy, and daily usability as of 2026.

A few specific things I want to know:

1. Reliability & longevity: Which one is more dependable and holds up better over the years?
2. Maintenance & parts: Ease/cost of repairs and availability of parts in Nigeria.
3. Fuel consumption: Which is more efficient in city & highway driving?
4. Comfort & space: Ride quality, interior comfort, cargo space, seating comfort for long trips.
5. Usability in 2026: Considering age, tech, safety, and general practicality today.
6. Any common issues: What common problems should I watch out for on these specific models?

Also, given my ₦5M budget, what other SUVs or crossovers should I consider that would be a good alternative in terms of value, reliability, and usability today?

Some models I’ve thought about but open to suggestions:
• Toyota RAV4
• Honda CR-V
• Nissan X-Trail
• Honda Pilot
• Ford Escape
• Others?

Your insights and ownership experience will help a lot — pros, cons, tips on what to check before buying, etc

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hello everyone, good day.

I’ve been seriously considering resigning from my current job at the bank to start driving with Uber through the Moove platform. I’m married with two children and currently earn ₦270,000 monthly.

In addition to my job, I’m also into video production — although client requests don’t come frequently, my current role doesn’t allow me the flexibility to attend to them when they do. My hope is that with the car from Moove, I can drive for Uber and at the same time create space to gradually grow my video production business.

I’d really appreciate your honest thoughts and advice on this possible transition. Thank you.

There is no change here, Biafrans like Kelechi Iheanacho brought glory to the zoo last time, another set of Biafrans defended it successfully.

The lazy north and parasitic yorrobers make the zoo look like a failed Islamic country but Easterners/Biafrans make the zoo look a bit respectable in the eyes of the world by bringing honour to it.
Biafrans can achieve more than these without being bugged down with the awusa/fulani /yoruba baggage in a full republic of Biafrans.


The Islamic zoo is damned without Biafrans but #BiafraMustCome.

Mention my tribe again in any of your embittered comment and invoke the wrath of 'shopona' (Elete)

AIT performed unprofessionally during the buildup to the 2015 election. Its all glaring the hate in their campaign against GMB and Asiwaju. I just wish it learns its lessons.
