In Nigeria, anything wey Toyota for common person na tresing.
Maybe later as cash rise, such common person upgrade buy Lexus, BMW or Benz.
All other cars are almost the same.
The way Lexus full town now too much. In Yobe Toyota dey compete with Lexus, Honda and Hyundai.

Honda is the car of Yobe. They started corolla recently. I've been in Geidam since 2016. Was in Potiskum between 2004 - 2016.

Where's your location?

Typing:


I've used BMW e46 for over 15 years with no major repairs. I drive it from Warri to Kaduna and back, ones every two to three months. Most of the parts are very cheap and durable.

As someone with first hand experience about BMW,what can you say about 2007 E90 BMW?

kuntash:


have you observed there are some vehicles that are peculiar to certain locations or regions? if you have anyone in Jos, Plateau state for example, ask them the popular vehicles being used.

if you go to Benin Republic, even from Badagary , you would behold so many mazda brands

Jos, the whole Plateau is Vectra

Difficult to maintain for a first timer

Munzy14:

Why is no one talking about kia and Hyundai

Alvin007:

Be realistic...a first timer would be a novice. Also, most Kazeems only work on Japanese brands. A first timer should simply get a Japanese brand until he becomes knowledgeable about cars. Having an obd2 scanner doesn't guarantee that all your car problems are solved..it's just to guide and direct you towards a symptom and likely culprit. Residual knowledge and a lil of YouTube videos or Forums..is still necessary.

I am being realistic, I knew about cars b4 I owned one, and people in my circle know a few bits about cars b4 they owned one let me xplain
Things like
Engine capacity
Kind of fluid( Eng Oil,Coolant,AC,Gear oil etc)
Required tyre pressure
Meaning of Dashboard lights
When to carry out car maintenance
What fuses controls what
Where the fuse box is located
If in 2025 you do not know about the above listed then you have no Biz owning a car in 2025


YOu are talking of JAP cars, are we talking of 2005 to 2007 japs or 2015 up? cos 2013 up Jap cars cant be repaired my kazzems no more, the can fix the bare mechanical, but when it proceeds to things the require programming, knowledge it limited that's when your 2015 Rav 3 Engine start behaving as if it has HIV.

Whats the Engine Capacity??

Interesting thread

DRKRIZ:

Cos most of the commenters on here do not really know about cars and their abilities, These two brands you mentioned are really good for starters as they make really good fuel efficient cars and Hybrids' has a 1,3 litre Engine.

234Drive:

Amongs these, I will agree with the 605, shyte car ahahaha and it is a V6 as well

Third hand use of cars with no 2nd hand value

Timagex:
Who has a first hand experience with the 2005 c230k? Would you recommend it to a first timer in good faith?

No issues with that car. Just get a foreign used one. Another thing, you will have to increase the engine fan speed by 0.5 or 0.7 because of the engine heat on the AC compressor, besides this, it is a fantastic Supercharged straight inline-4 1.8L beast on the road and can outlast a few other brands in its range.

Im glad you went to research on this car, however with what you posted its a good car for a newbie, its cost effective, good on fuel tooo.bravo

Lamanii22:



You must be joking

Did you you read op question before quoting

Maybe I was unlucky, but the first Peugeot I used, the timing belt cut after 3 months, meaning they had to lose the engine, I spent almost 80k, it cut 2 weeks later immediately I fixed it the 3rd time, I sold the car... The car lasted only 4 months with me ..

Well...I'm glad you mentioned a Volkswagen Golf for a first timer...on your earlier comment, and not a BMW.

Timagex:

Peugeot 407.
