4cylinder 2009 & above muscle uses the 2AR(2.5L).. So kazeem call them venza engine bacause they "look alike"

Ascold:



Thanks Boss..... Will Go For The Civic Then

nurey:


if you like the Volvo you can buy but don't buy one fitted with the T6 Engine, every other Engine is reliable and solid

nurey:


The only Engine venza shares with Camry is 2gr, 4cylinder venza is 1AR (2.7L)

Philadelphia:


Get a competent mech to inspect it.
Verify the documents
Enjoy your ride. You have my approval.

As long as you service the car (even the legs) with the right parts, you are good to go.

Trust me when I say that car drives better than Toyota Camry of same year

FreeConCiencE:


OK. I used 5000(20w50). How can I can reset it so that l won't make a mistake of thinking it's a fake warning when it is actually real? Also, is that a good oil type for the car(camry 2011,venza engine) thank you very much.

picanto is the best in fuel economy but it is been phased out, your best bet is the Kia Rio reasons are

1. More recent than the golf 3, so you won't have parts breakdown frequently

2. Better modern design than golf3

3. Engine is shared by couple of Kia and Hyundai vehicles [s]so parts would always be readily available[/s] though may cost more than golf3 parts.

4. You won't be known for driving a taxi around

5. it is as fuel efficient as the golf3 with 1.4L Engine so good fuel economy is assured.

6. [s]Technicians abound just like any other car[/s]

Philadelphia:


The others are valid points.

With that, Golf 3 is still his best bet.

Add resale value to his requirements and Golf 3 comes first by miles.

nurey:


Resale value golf 3, how much is tokunbo golf3 and how much is naija used?

Kia Rio is an Uber standard vehicle, something a golf 4 cannot boost of, so don't expect the golf 3 to have a better resale value than Kia Rio.

But resale price yes, the golf 3 is cheap can be had for 300k so expected to be cheaper to acquire.

Philadelphia:


Which one will sell off a car lot first in Nigeria?

You have Golf 3 being used mostly as a cab here especially by NURTW uber crews

My guy, talk wetin you know o; wetin you go fit defend.

nurey:


The T6 is not unreliable. Volvo mated a transmission that could not handle the torque from the engine, leading to early gearbox failures. The 3.2l engine used from 07 up was designed to replace it as it was a ford engine anyway.

Other than this your only concern here in Naija is that T6 parts are more expensive.

valarinz:


Don't let your hate cloud your judgement, I only posted the screenshot cos that's the only language you probably understand.

Pls try and get your hands on the 3.2l engine and open it up properly, there's nothing Ford about that engine, unlike the V8 which is a pure Yamaha engine.

Maybe you'll now say, you're not a mechanic

ford? Are you sure it was not geely of china?

Guys, a little help here. There are two types of Civics popularly seen on Nigerian roads (pix below). I see more of the first though. I know one is European and the other is Asia. Not sure where I heard that from. But then I also heard one is better than the other.
Please, aside from the design and region are there differences when it comes to durability, fuel economy, maintenance?
Which do you recommend?
Thanks guys

nurey:


1st pix is Asian, bought brand-new in Nigeria

2nd pix is North America bought as tokunbo in Nigeria.

Parts availability like I heard for the 1st is available but for the 2nd scarce I doubt if it's true because both are same biscuit in different nylon.

Between a corolla or Benz s550? Both naija used, Fuel economy, rugged and availability of parts, luxury and speed.
Can the s550 carry me from Ikorodu to berger then ajah and back on 2000 fuel?
