Asian Cars Versus European Cars by menstrualpad: 11:44am On Jan 12, 2017 |
Given the peculiarities of Nigeria... which one would you vote for in terms of durability, ruggedness, economy and cost? Asian vehicles or European vehicles. am not looking at aesthetics cc redcliff valarinz Gazzuzz kingrein diportivo sammoto engrchykae and others innumerable to mention |

This is my unbiased submission, Asian cars are built for the not too technical person in mind which where almost all humans fall into. Because we just want to enter our cars and drive, not caring much about tire pressure, oil quality, cooling peculiarities etc so Asian cars will manage but that has since ended around 2005, they making cars as complex as European cars. But I personally would go for a European car this is because overtime I've come to see driving as an art and science and the European cars fulfill both. So I love euro cars that's for me alone I can cope with their wahala 16 Likes 1 Share |

For me European cars are more beautifully designed... Rugged and durable but cost more to maintain them 3 Likes |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by nurey(m): 12:21pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
this has always been a long time debate, i wont choose that either is good because it all boils down to maintenance. Also what you intend to use it for 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by redcliff: 12:26pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
If i had an asian car i would be the sole and only mechanic of the car. To be honest, i love european cars alot especially German. I have never driven an Asian car in my life. Maybe thats one of the reasons i dont like them. But then again, i have not driven them and its safe to stick with what i know. These are my reasons i would pick an european car over asian cars 1. Durability 2. Ruggedness 3. Not following the nigerian bandwagon effect 4. Easy access to these brands of automobiles 5. Designs way ahead of their time (audi a4 2002 model is still relevant today. Golf 3 is still relevant today) Although it may cost more to maintain, but good parts lasts really long. If i need an everyday rugged ride, i would rather pick a golf2 or 3 ![]() 5 Likes 2 Shares |

redcliff:Golf 2 versus Golf 3 which is more durable, rugged and efficient? |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by redcliff: 3:36pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
menstrualpad: To be honest its the golf2. But the golf 3 is better in deisgn..theres no MK2 with AC. Thats another downside. |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by menstrualpad: 3:41pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
redcliff:I prefer Golf2 though for ruggedness |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by nurey(m): 3:53pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
menstrualpad: I will pick a clean automatic golf 2 over a golf 3 not because I think or know it's better but the Swagger of driving old autos is enticing. The golf 2 has a stronger body than the golf 3, they both can be customized and they both have a state of the art GTI version. The golf2 has less electrical, I am not too sure whether it's more fuel efficient though if am to rate it, the score would be negligible as I have been driven in both at highway in the north if I say my experience my name could be synonymous to exaggeration. Lol I would take a golf3 with factory fitted AC my dad's experience with mechanic fixing a non ac version of a car with ac won't let me tow that part. The carburetor in the golf2 is old school, if fuel finish, just put fuel in the tank, open the filter and put fuel then pour little on the carburetor head and you are good to go. Takes less than 5minutes hehe 1 Like |

nurey: lol... I will go for the Golf2 auto anyday anytime... especially if it's that carburettor powered. |

redcliff: from what i see, these car are almost the same when it come to technology but there is one key factor when africans buy cars from japan they buy old cars that are less electronic that the present one your comparison should be of the same of manufacturer |

Golf3 over golf2 anytime any day Wld do anything to av an american spec 1997 manual gear golf....2.0 mpfi.

diportivo:well I was considering practicability of the cars in Nigeria. for example my local Benz Mech has about 45 cars stranded in his workshop. Toyota shops don't strand cars like that..... BMW is another evil not to mention Volvo... |

I'd pick a European car, (buh not French and British cars o) to an Asian car. Buh to tell the truth, Asians are coming up to speed with their automobile production |
Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by 5starmilitant: 7:07am On Jan 14, 2017 |
Germany is in Europe, so European cars are more preferable. |

Re: Asian Cars Versus European Cars by Valfrankie(m): 7:12am On Jan 14, 2017 |
Although European cars are more expensive to maintain, but they are rugged and built to last. I just have this feeling Asian cars are just for fancy, small scratch you cry to a mechanic. European Cars also have more 2nd hand value than Asian cars. with the above submission, Nwanne I'm all for Europe. |
