pannyman: Tokunbo preferably. If there's a Nigerian use that's in good shape without issue, I can also consider it. |

Op, since you have confined your choice to those 3, I will advice you go for the matrix. Mind you, I am not a member of the Toyota crew. I am a Benz person. I will leave the golf out because it has aluminum plate at the bottom of the engine which is prone to damage on bumpy roads. Also I heard some of them are plagued by electrical issues. I have driven the EOD a couple of times and I didn't enjoy it. The ride wasn't smooth (my opinion though). Anyway like someone said above, go with a specialist and scanner. Test drive those cars and get the feeling. 2 Likes |

nams77: Is that to mean the matrix drives smoother than the Accord? Are you for real man? |

Kjnwancaro:And did you see the word there "my opinion though'. I wonder how you guys comprehend things |

bizzle2:Yes I read it clearly nams77: Listen man I was actually questioning 'YOUR OPINION", how can you be a 'benz person' and put matrix over accord on smoothness.? 1 Like |

pannyman:For those harassing d guy that asked abt his budget,can U see d reason why it is important he states his budget? D price of a tokumbo EOD is not in d same league wt a Nigerian used esp in this present dollar regime. |

galaxi: When the cost of maintaining a car becomes so high, I consider it a liability. I have done some research before concluding on any of these 3 cars. 1 Like |

Let me start with a story. A friend just saw a passat at a dealer for a great price but is was a lot cheaper at other dealerships so why will they sell it cheap if nothing is wrong with it. If someone has a matrix, and golf at same price will EOD double check on the Honda because it offers more value 2 Likes |

sultaan: Probably one of the reason it's wise to check the car with a specialist mech before buying. Scanning will also be beneficial. Interactions here have help me a great deal. |

Ken4agent: Forums are meant for discussion. Google search result is meant to point the searcher to a website managed by people. The experience of someone driving those cars in Europe and USA with better roads will not be the same experience with Nigeria roads. You don't expect me to take advice for such cars from those in USA and Europe knowing fully well that our environment is different. By the way, Google is not a human being. The answers Google provide you in search engine results where provided by human beings and not Google. Nairaland is a good platform to hear from those with first hand experience of these cars. Anyway, thanks for your contribution. 6 Likes 1 Share |
