This is the only identical SUV I know will fall within your price range.

The nissan xterra with the 3.3L V6 engine too is solid has identical gas mileage with the pathy but not luxurious just a pure true breed offroader.

The QX4/pathfinder is a good buy but a nigerian used Nissan that has been abused electrically is an headache getting back to factory setup.

what I want you to do is have it that a clean naija used is around 800-1.2m for a 2003 to 2004 model.
Then a complete engine and gear of that car goes for around 400k engine only 250k. If you see a specimen with body intact you can buy and fix especially one with smoking engine but top notch gear.

don't worry the engine is very common and easily found it is fitted to almost 10 vehicles from nissan/infiniti.

As for fuel economy, suv's aren't built for that you will be averaging around 12-15L per 100km with suv if you want around 8-11L per 100km you should focus on CUV (crv rav4, xtrail, sportage)
Noted sir. Thanks for your time.

Thanks Boss... I usually undertake interstates travels....would Rav4 fuel consumption be very economical?

Pls is it true the 2003 corrolla & 2002 corrolla engines have equal performance, acceleration wise? So I was told.

depends on the engine and corolla variant. Both years 1995-2002 and 2003-2007 have different engine and continental type. Though the most popular is the north American version.

both share the 1.4L and 1.6L engine but the 1.8L engine in both are different. The latter model seems to have a better mpg in highway which is even negligible to me.

My W202 C280 falls into that category too but a vehicle with good ground clearance and a really good AC is needed here.

Why are you seeking trouble? If you must change your Camry kindly go for a muscle. Don't buy a Nigerian used big daddy.
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by femilambor007(m): 6:39am On Oct 02, 2018
Please gurus.
1. Matrix 05
2. Big Daddy 05

Both tokunbo, which is advisable
- Fuel consumption
- maintenance
- reliability
- As a young single guy

Fuel comsumption: Matrix
Maintenance: Matrix
Reliability: Both
Cool factor: Camry
Luxury/gadgets: camry, especially if its XLE. The dashboard of both cars are ugly but the dashboard of the Matrix makes the dashboard of big daddy look like that of a benz.

Does a big daddy actually look cooler than a Matrix? I don't think so, tbh.

Fully loaded Xle Camry is cooler than the matrix to me. At least u get leather seats, automatic climate control, JBL audio with 8 speakers, wood trim in interior.

speed Audi A4
Reliability RX300
power Audi A4 especially one with quattro
Fuel economy Audi 1.6L
Maintenance RX300.

both vehicles perform different functions the Rx is better with good ground clearance, leather seats and wood trims and an option of rear view cam with indash display. The 1mzfe engine is reliable and a solid one.

The Audi A4 has 6 engine variants from i4 to V6. it is a powerful sports sedan when fitted with a quattro AWD system with turbo engine it is also well built interior and exterior wise would be luxurious too foe a high end trim.

kazeem can work on the lexus as for the Audi, kazeem may do more damage than needed this vehicle has plethora of sensors upto the wheels. don't buy the Audi because it is cheap it has some high maintenance parts when things fail

Umm, Quattro is Audi's AWD system. Has nothing to do with engine or performance.

There's a 1.8T and 2.0T engine. Those are the turbo variants of the B7 A4, I think.

my write up doesn't say otherwise read it again. And AWD systems helps in performance. AWD launches faster than RWD or FWD

Remember that dude you called to fix your gen and ended up making you experience flickering lights. That's what happens when you give your vehicle to Kazeem.

Please, Compare TOYOTA SIENA vs HONDA CRV In terms of reliability, power, fuel and maintenance.

Which is overall the better buy vehicle if it is for a family woman with kids for her daily runs and work.
