Damolux01: You'll get a Toks Golf 3, Vento, Nissan Primera 1998, Nissan Micra, Mazda 323, 626 conveniently with less than a million. Trust me, they are good cars for first timers. If you don't think so, then ask transporters why these cars are mostly used as cabs and taxis. You know cab drivers look for ruggedness, efficiency and fuel economy plus relatively cheap and accessible parts in the market. 7 Likes 1 Share |

kaymaxsoluxions:Kay how's the TT |
Re: Best Cars For First Timers With Budget Of Less Than 1m by kaymaxsoluxions(m): 11:53am On Jul 09, 2017 |
SmartchoicesNG:Really can't say much about a Audi TT as I really don't see it as a common car on Nigerian roads. Hence availability of parts and technicians to fix faults when the need arises should be considered. If it's a favorite, you should have a diagnosis/scanning tool handy to trace and detect faults for you so you wouldn't have to rely on 'trial and error' kinda troubleshooting of mechanics. This applies to any other vehicle of choice as long as they are OBD compliant. 1 Like |

kaymaxsoluxions:You're making sense bro... This is actually why the topic was created. Yes...some should have gone for less than 800k self if not for the ish with duty and border closure. However, out of the Cars you chose... I think I will give it to a very neat Toks Golf 3. 2 Likes |

Damolux01: Very smart choice. Be on a lookout for one with 1.8L engine. Trust me, if you buy a good Toks of it, it will serve you 1 Like |

Never told you I know it all... if I do, I'm sure we won't be having this topic. You came here with no tangible input to the Topic you read... All you can brag about is knowing about cars. How do u plan to help those that will read and be educated from what we type here. Now, if you know u do know abt cars as u've posited... kindly read the post again and comment.

Damolux01: Why are you conveniently refusing to address my claims, you started by giving out false Information and you still don't want to go back to modify your earlier posts after boldly giving out fake info here. Be a man, either backup your claims or take back your initial erroneous claims, there's no hiding place, name the Volvo model and year then state that your car name, make and model 1 Like |

kaymaxsoluxions:I think the Golf 3 has 1.4L, 1.6L as well... if yes, what advantage does the 1.8 has over these ones... and again, would you prefer the Manual over Automatic Transmission? |

He said it, and that could be an exaggeration but one thing is sure that the car being the Old Volvo can not in anyway consume equally with a Golf 3 or 4.

Damolux01: You started by doling out wrong info and someone tried to correct you, yet you kept insisting and even using derogatory terms like "old Volvo" to back it up. So that's talking like a pro Abi. You say you drive with 5 litres and every other Volvo car(which are all old volvos too) will do same trip with 10litres, that's where my own challenge comes in, state that your car name first When you want to type on a public forum like nairaland, its better you get your facts right, else it will end like this, you just don't sit down and make assumptions and try to force it down on others as fact I'm certain you're comparing two cars that are not in the same class category and were even produced decades apart, yet you assume that it's alright, how's that for a pro 1 Like |

Damolux01: So, when you went general on "Volvo" you didn't know there were models and years Abi, why say "golf3", why not just say "Volkswagen" and continue to insist that "Volkswagen " is not a good car for starters, after all "touareg" might not be a good car for starters and its a Volkswagen product 3 Likes |
Re: Best Cars For First Timers With Budget Of Less Than 1m by kaymaxsoluxions(m): 12:31pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
Damolux01: Well, the advantages I coined from transporters are 1.8L engines last longer than the 1.6L, the output horse-power from a 1.8L is more than 1.6L hence the performance of a 1.8L is higher. Well, I go with either a manual gear or a automatic gear car whichever is available for me. It's all about convenience, budget. Sure in Nigeria, automatic gear cars cost more to purchase than manual gear cars. |

Damolux01: So you come to nairaland and you're talking based on "stereotypes". How about the stereotype about direct fan connection being the best In naija, based on our weather, is that also a fact? Anyways, the way you're now going all religious on the issue, I see you're either out of points or you never really had one in the first place As for solutions, I really didn't see you asking for a solution anywhere, you only started listing cars you think is good for a first timer and cars you also think are not good I can't say much for other brands I'm not so conversant with, and I never come to nairaland to badmouth any car either, I'll only correct you when u make an erroneous statement which I'm certain of and that's what I just did If you noticed too I've stated the engine type and capacity of the V40/S40 you were badmouthing, so its left for everyone else to do their maths, tnx 2 Likes |

Damolux01: Yeah sure. 1.6L more economical if economy won't be altered by condition of engine or carburetor. Note: No 2 or more cars are exactly the same in performance. Condition of engine or gear aren't exactly the same. Let me break it down. No 2 or more 1.6L engine or 2 or more 1.8L engine are the same in performance on the road. Performance are altered by condition of engine or gear, general working condition of car. People make lots of comparisons neglecting the fact that no 2 cars of same model or different models are exactly the same in performance. |

Damolux01: You are welcome. I advise anyone that intend to buy a car of choice to read about the car or vehicle online before making a purchase. At least that will give you an idea what you are going for. Search engines as Google and Wikipedia will help. You can also download manuals from manufacturer's website or other car websites if available. It will save a lot of stress of after purchase. Most people don't even know recommended Tyre sizes for their vehicles, recommended type of engine oil or transmission oil to use in servicing. These are very important for long lasting vehicles. Diagnosis/Car scanning tools are also a must have for car users using 1996 or newer model vehicles. 8 Likes |
