Forget about d issue of filling station. I used Volvo 850 between 2010 to 2011 ,though tokunbo .I used 10 liters from Egbeda to my office at ayobo 3 days with AC chilling. I do refuel on my way back 3 day so it depends on d condition of d one u want to buy. its 5 plugs engine. 1 Like |

writetopoker: why would filling station be his cousin? anyways, cousins are not seen on a daily basis but not withstanding, if everything works fine, very many vehicles are designed to be working optimally on fuel consumption I would expect you to state things like "Incompetent workmen etc"

Deejacy2: Fuel economy is ok the toyota yaris equivalent in Honda is City. As for durability- it all depends on the history of the Car (assuming you are buying a used vehicle be it toks or nigerian used) Regarding Affordable Spare Parts - genuine (OEM) vehicle parts are not cheap that is the truth and the retailers know this so the stock up there shops with 'replacement parts' and not OEM parts. If you travel alot you would want a Corolla but if it is just to drive within your locality then the yaris will serve. |

bistonsmith: When it comes to used vehicles the following is what you should watch out for in this order 1. Services history how regularly did the previous owners do oil change and what grade of oil was used 2. Are OEM parts used to replace faulty parts and how available are they? 3. Did the model of vehicle have recall issues? 4. If it is an automatic transmission a. is the right grade of oil used (not I am not referring from brand but grade of oil) for the transmission oil change b. how smooth is the transmission change when moving to a halt. NB Note that I did not mention mileage. The mileage is not the only criteria to evaluate a car |
