Hello fellow Nairalanders,

Pls who in this house has used 2006 toyota avalon 2006 or know how if the vehicle is good to ride on Nigeria road , moreover if possible i will like to know the common problem of the car. I dont want to get common models like CAMRY AND COROLLA .
THANKS ALL

Good car but not that rugged compared to camry.

Also, Avalon 2005 - 2011 comes with 3.5L V6 engine, so fuel consumption is kind of high.

You're wrong bro.

An Avalon is safer than a Camry because it's the Toyota flagship product so they engineer more safety things and more technological things into it. It's equally rugged.

Guess economy isn't bad. Infant the fuel economy of a well maintained avalon is very closely matched with the fuel economy of a Camry (city MPG).

That ride na for people when don chop.

Nice car

Compare it with Infinity g35

Let's stop this poor man mentality! Will you die with V4 because you want to save money you will later spend? Remember we have v8 and people are buying it, they don't have 2 heads

It doesn't have electrical problems as long as you or your mechanic doesn't mess up with it and you don't cut and join wires or enter flood.

Any body can use an Avalon. If you can maintain a Camry, you can maintain an Avalon. Some parts of corolla are even more expensive than Avalon.

what is a V4?

I4 engine

There is nothing like a V4 pls next time get your facts right and stop miseducatng people it's an I4 engine or simply put 4 cylinder engine..

promotervickky:


4 plugs

i4 ie inline 4.

promotervickky:


4 plugs

To add to what the two people above me posted, bear in mind that "4 plugs" is not necessarily equivalent to "4 cylinders"

Some car manufacturers use more than 1 plug per cylinder, so to be correct just use "cylinders" rather than plugs, ie 4 Cylinders, 6 Cylinders, 8 Cylinders

You’re right. My friends 2009 Honda Civic S has 8 plugs and it’s a 4 cylinder engine.

Well done sir, I4 engine or anything lower than V6 must not be a norm! Let's kill the poverty mentality

promotervickky:

are you now saying that you support V6 and above engines?

dumo1:

No, it's just that some people will die with engines below v6, it shouldn't be a norm.

It's just the economics of spending more on Lagos traffic when you can spend less.

Before you enjoy the engine power, you meet another traffic.

If the car doesn't have defect, you'd enjoy it.

Asking for a 4 cylinder does not really mean one is poor. Somebody may just need a simple car for doing run-arounds without bothering about visiting filling station constantly. V6 has its purpose just as V4 or i4 have their purpose too. It all depends on individuals' needs. V6 is not good for short distance driving or short drive cycles because its like under utilizing the engine capacity, it enjoys long distances whereas 4 cylinder delights in city/traffic rides. Cheers.

V6 engine is not my problem about the car , i have drove a Nissan Frontier with v6 engine and i prefer v6 to v4 . I only like the avalon shape , space and interior
