1metre:I disagree with you. the First Generation Audi AllRoad and Land Rover Freelander were labeled notorious Lemons abroad. There are dedicated web pages listing known issues of these two particular vehicles - the issues of these two are as a result of poor design/quality control , that's why they seem to be mostly found in their natural habitat...

goodvision12:Benz was the best in automobile industry before Chrysler came along. Do I need to spell it out...that even years after the separation Benz has NEVER recovered!! For me sir I'd rather play bet9ja with my money (and I don't bet) than purchase a Chrysler product with it. My advice flee Chrysler and never look back unless it's brand new. American cars seems to be deliberately designed so buyers can purchase more 1 Like 1 Share |

I have read All replies here. You people don't know anything about vehicles. You want your mechanic to do all the thinking despite your education. These mechanisms are not rocket science as its something anybody can understand. I became a mechanic to myself because I research about problems I encountered on my vehicle. I tell my mechanic Wat to do. I do the troubleshooting myself. I am not undermining their experiences but there is limit to what there thinking could get to. Some are shallow thinkers. Every vehicle brand has its own problems. I have pictures of broken-down vechles of many brands. Problem starts when you allow your timing belt to cut. It's takes God's grace to get it back to normal. Some of you use inferior car chargers and complain your vehicle has electrical problem. You park your car with the mechanic and leave. You don't know what happens afterwards. Over maintenance is what is killing some of us. Mechanics using defective tools to work. Not respecting fit and tolerances, avoiding specified oil grades because of cost. Some are Ill advised by mechanic. These are our major problem. I have been using Volvo s80 for 3+ years i have not encountered any big problem . I hardly get flat tires and i use tokunbo tires with special selection. It's always a serious problem changing my tyres because I hardly loose the nuts . I change my tyre when the groove is less not when it has been patched severally. We need to have good maintenance culture and be knowledgeable about cars we use. I laughed at all these comments here. You guys are naive. My site is coming up soon. Www.mymaintenanceadvisor.com.ng You are a car owner. Ordinary OBD II car scanner you no get and your are driving 3M worth of car.. Ordinary multi meter you no get let alone having a small tool box. Most of these faults are small faults o but when your mechanic start tampering with other vehicle parts, they hardly restore them back to original position. Be wise my people and develop problem solving skills 17 Likes 1 Share |

platinumricky:It is. I was even persuaded to negotiate. I bluntly refused. One Alfa on ego trips bought it.. I was calmly watching and observing his sorrows with the car...he sold as scrap.... After countless overheating... and a plethora of other mysterious issues... At present a Kazeem is trying to convert it to an M111 engine. I went there our of curiosity and almost laffed my head off... At the ridiculousity of the conversion. Anyway Kazeem must chop and there's nothing like warranty on his job. |

menstrualpad:my point is, if u buy those cars brand new, u won't hv any cause for panic. Not everyone can afford a brand new car but instead of buying a ten years old car better be patient and go for something better. |

Lexus RX series - bad transmission, expensive parts. Toyota Camry tinylite - bad wheels especially the shocks, short life span of the 4cyl engine. Toyota Camry muscle: bad transmission, electrical issues, body (built) quality drops drastically after bodywork n repainting. Honda crv: bad transmission same issues as the muscle with body work. Honda accord- ball joint issues, transmission 2 Likes |

luxy44:I'd take the tinylight anyday and anytime. Don't put more than two adults in the rear seats no matter the condition. And it's not the shocks that spoils at all times...there is a particular component I was reading about on this Australian car website... It is one of the most dependable vehicles the world has ever seen. Do you know that the brand new engine of that vehicle is still available in Nigeria? And always use Mobil Oil... contact Gazzuzz.
