Nigerians love strong things shabi. A car that can withstand a crash and still be strong A car that will never visit a mechanic workshop no matter how you use it. A car that can travel from Lagos to Asaba with only #2k fuel (3lit) A that will remain reliable and faithful even without a maintenance 6 Likes |

GorillaApp: For Kia if you can afford to take them to their service center then no problem. I had 2 Kia Kia Optima Presidential and a Kia Rio Auto, the day I used a normal Nigeria mechanic was the day it started having problems. That's why u advise people if they want to buy Kia either get a top mechanic or use their service centre for the spare parts I never bought secondhands straight from the company. |

FILEBE:Well.. the Murano i still have, I had problems with the gear when i imported it, the gears was really a big problem so i dumped it for a Benz 320, the benz runs very well just that because.it is a 3.2 litre engine it costs so much on petrol, the parts can be a bit expensive too. After i was i adviced by one mechanic to convert the Murano gear, at first i thought what? Convertion? How? Why? He told me that the car is just useless without a good gear, he even offered me 800k for it, i tried to see if i could buy a new gear but it was 750k in the end it cost me £450k to convert the gear, now it runs fantastic apart from it's petrol consumptions, it costs much on fueling, as it is a V6 engine as i was told. The Honda Element is brilliant, never gives me any problems, very reliable and doesn't cost much fuelling it is a 2 litre engine, I imported from Houston sold to me by a 17 years old owner who bought another car. The Benz i bought from the UK it was a right handed wheeel which i converted to a lefty in Naijaria. The other 2 i bought from the US |

keemsleek:While I understand you position, we are looking at things from the present economic perspective. I'm a Benz/ German auto guy, but one advantage with using a Toyota brand is when your car develops a fault in a rural community. That's when you will appreciate the simplicity of Japanese models. In such environment, you will not have a specialist auto technician or a service centre. You will be staring face to face with our ubiquitous kazeem( local mechanics). Any care that requires a specialist or dedicated service centre in present day Nigeria is not recommended for the middle class hustler. Simplicity is key. Thats where the civic comes in. Both the Peugeot and Rio he mentioned are not the forte of every mechanic. 2 Likes |

Calitoscassius: Thanks for the insight. This goes a long way to say that all cars cannot be the same for everyone. If you would ask some people here, they will discourage you from buying all the cars you mentioned. Yet, these are the cars you are using and are doing fine for you. Do you still import cars? I imported my car myself too . Hoping to import another but this customs clearance feee is discouraging |

Xenob: Any car can have electrical issues. The key is not to allow any wire Cut-Cut rewire near your car. The Peugeot brand is specifically allergic to this. There is need to train rewires on this cos it has got many vehicles burnt 🔥. If rewires has spoilt your car wires. Just buy a complete wiring harness and have fixed while the damaged old one is removed. This would guarantee the enjoyment of your car again. |
