Myth Camry pencillight is the next best thing you can buy with your money as a daily driver False! Fact: no one tells you that owning it predisposes you to serious accidents due to factory defects on the headlights like vespa light. No one tells you that carrying three adults at the back ruins the back suspension with the krokrokro sound. No one tells you that it has an exhaust that is always hitting the ground.... If you can live with the uninspiring interior.... can you live with others 38 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=kingreign post=95313974][/quote] Apt. I don't know what the guy has against toyota. Nawao. A lot more will be sold today while he is frothing. Does he really think owners are willing to invest 150k to buy new shocks on a car that costs 450k? As if there aren't c180s and c230s with creaking suspensions littered all over Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Myth: buy a Toyota Corolla and rest easy False! Fact: once a Toyota Corolla is acquired you lose your rest easy... If you are not staying in a gated house... If you go out for a function... You'll notice Toyota Corolla owners pacing occasionally to check their cars....lest they become geographers like my brother up there.... "Na here I park am like this....see the key o"... This is unlike so many other brands.... Fuel efficiency will not have any meaning once the car is stolen.... God forbid. Solutions... Local pedal locks...but thieves most of the time only loot Corolla cars... And the gbege begins...to get the correct ECU na wahala unlike other sensible cars... Well take the risk if you must but ensure you are staying in a gated house...insure the car... whatever that means in Nigeria 46 Likes |
