Thanks bro. I think its a new classified site. But because its made in Naija, I want to promote and encourage them. Hopefully they can compete with olx and jiji. Even olx and the like are full of scammers. I think they will improve with time.

The most surprising is Toyota matrix.

Quite surprised to see that it had so many issues. I know one or two person who own one and they all boast about its ruggedness
I'm surprised too. I own one and I can vouch for it anytime anyday . that's one rugged and durable car

5. HYUNDAI VERACRUZ (2006-2012)




The Hyundai Veracruz died and its brother the HYUNDAI SANTA-FE took over the mantle. However this car was larger and more spacious than the Santa FE and Nigerian loved it. It’s not as powerful as the FJ Cruiser but it still holds its own in the committee of SUVs. The Veracruz was only available in two models during its six year run: the base GLS and the luxurious Limited, in Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive configurations.

Autopsy report

Poor sales is the main reason it was continued.

6. HONDA ELEMENT (2002-2011)




This car was made popular in by the Nollywood industry because at a time they seem to be using it in most of their movies. The car made its debut in 2002 and everyone fell in love with its SUICIDE DOORS. In 2007, the Honda Element won the Dogcars.com’s “Dog Car of the Year” award. In Nigeria it is seen as a ladies car. It is still a very nice car and it is still running strong on the Nigerian road.

Autopsy report

Honda executives blamed the Element’s demise on a variety of factors: competition from similar vehicles offered by other manufacturers, rivalry within the automaker’s own product line, and a dwindling market share for SUVs overall.

7. HONDA CROSS TOUR (2010-2015)



One of the most flashy cars on the Nigerian road the Honda Crosstour (initially branded the Accord Crosstour) is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda. Sales began in November 2009 for the 2010 model year, and was discontinued for the 2016 model year due to slow sales, along with the Element (which was discontinued in the second year of the Crosstour). Nigerians still love this car despite the fact it was expensive and doesn’t perform too well. I guess it’s because of the appearance. This car will be very much missed in Nigeria. In terms of luxury, this car competes with Toyota Venza which is also a dead car.

Autopsy report of course, Lol

Poor sales is the main reason for the death of this car. Funny enough the Honda CRV made more sales and more money than this car so there’s no reason to continue it. I guess HONDA CRV also contributed in killing off its brother.

8. VOLKSWAGEN CC (2008-2017)




This premium German product is a perfect example of a well built, streamlined car, quite expensive and has a coupe-like silhouette with a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines and features optional 4Motion all-wheel-drive. A VW spokesman said there’s no word yet on a replacement but outside Canada it will be succeeded by the new Arteon, which has similar lines but also offers hatchback utility. The car is very low to the ground which makes it not good for Nigeria roads. This has not stopped Nigerians from buying it and they’re still buying it till today. Lol. The car is directly related to the PASSAT model and is one of the lowest selling Volkswagen cars ever.

Autopsy report

Very low to the ground and poor sales is the reason this lovely sports looking car was killed by Volkswagen. Like I said earlier, it was one of the lowest selling car ever in the Volkswagen lineup.

Do you know other discontinued cars Nigerians will really miss? Tell us in the comment section.

I didn even know they had stopped producing those cars.

Apart from the VW, every other car in the list would have made my list of most disliked cars. They are all not fine in my view.
