Area boy, Nice thread you have here. What do you think about the 2004 Volvo s60. I love that car.
Weird engine (I5) and superb acceleration.

Area_boy:


This was too quick and easy for TV, so they decided to stage a seven hour marathon, race-til-you're-empty duel, with Jamie driving an SUV with A/C on and Adam driving an SUV with windows down. Though, once the safety inspector intervened, it was no longer a seven-hour marathon, it was a bit slower (45mph instead of 55mph), and a lot shorter (only 5 gallons each).

Jamie's A/C car ran out of gas first -- Adam's windows down SUV ran for another 30 laps -- completely contradicting the computer mpg estimate. Computer estimate based on air flow into the engine, so it would appear that it is unable to properly model the difference between A/C and windows down."[/b][/i][/color]

@Sojioguns, remember to buy Spare-engine soon as you buy Volvo S40. because the Engine never last!!!.
have you consider second-hand value as well?

Hi All, Please someone is giving me a Nigerian used 2000 Toyota corolla for 500K. It has a V6 engine, the car is well pimped and works very well. But i am thinking the price should be less. Also i am hesitating because is a V6. Please your advice. Thanks.

elektra80:

I've never seen a Toyota Corolla with a V6 engine.. Are u sure u are not talking about Camry? Toyota Corolla are small compact cars and they come with 1.8 liter I4 engine. So what size of engine is the V6 u saw?

Ma$e:
@ area boy, tnx 4 ur contribution. I was trying 2 explain dt the v6 engines have 6 cylinders, we wer not talking abt d orientation but the number of cylinders. d more d cylinders, d more powerful d engine, and vthe complicated it gets 4 our mechanics here, plus more fuel too. abi? pls correct me if am wrong. Also do we have d v- orientation for 4 cylinder engines? thanx

Areaboy2:


are nigerians running away from V6?,  i don't think so my good man,  that is only true with the babyboy V6,  and we all know the reason why the gearbox is so crappy,  but give me a toks babyboy V6 and i'll use it for  5 years with no problem at all,  it all falls down to driving style and regular maint,  don't stress your gearbox, all in the name of showing off your cars ability to accelerate, superior information here, I must admit.



back to V6 toyota and V6 honda,  which is better??  hmmm,  hard to choose,

new honda and toyota now come with i-vtec, vti vtec, and vvti

Vtec - valve timing electronically controlled,  or more accurately "Variable valve timing and electronic lift control"
Vvti - Variable valve timing inteligence,  or more accurately "Variable valve timing with Inteligence"

i-vtec  - Intelligent v-tec,

that behind us, let me give u a rule of thumb,

vtec -  power
vvti - fuel economy


in terms of power, the vtec craps all over the vvti,  however these days, people are more drawn to fuel economy,

your last question is pretty ambiguous. faulty V6 = total engine change

so if i have a bad piston/rings i have to change my entire engine??
or if i have a problem with my injector, i change entire engine

mbaa nu,  it is not like that *with a strong igbo accent* hehehe, 

anyway,  what year is the avalon? anything after 2004 should be great,  condem him for what,  the bastards are just hating,  becuase its not a popular car,  listen my good man,  which ever car you get it all comes down to

20% initial luck on getting a car in good condition
10% in driving style
5% road condition
65% regular maintenance,

so care for your car guys,  and your car will serve you until u want no more of it,
