Farki: Wrong, it's owners here that do not know how to manage their cars. That same corolla was used abroad as a taxi or fleet car and accumulated many highway or city mileage without falling apart, why did it start to fall apart in Nigeria? 8 Likes |

Myth: 100km per hour in a trailer is faster than 100km per hour in a small cal. This is false Fact: Km/h is a constant unit for any moving body irrespective of weight or size. So, both vehicles as mentioned above will be moving at the same speed. 6 Likes |

That when you remove a car thermostat that it will consume more fuel. Although it is true. But i can bet u that 80% of cars on the Nigerian roads have no thermostat. The fans are connected directly. 2 Likes |

mdchikezie: Honda is a Brand and not a model name. It's very wrong to speak mythologically here by generalising the brand. While it's obvious from the numerous cases that there seems to be a ball joint defect with Honda Accord from 1998 - 2007, how many cases have you seen where there is a "leg pull" of the 2008 and above model? Let's even look at the new generation from 2013 to the current generation (2018 till date). How many do you see on the road with having such issues? Do you even know that some auto blogs and reviewers rate the Honda Accord from year 2013 till date to be more reliable than the said Toyota Camry of same model year? 8 Likes |

Philadelphia:That's a fact Sir, very true and unbiased analysis, I have both accord and Camry, I think most kazeems has poised Nigerians mind that Honda is a bad car brand.....a big fat lie from the pit of hell,most car site even rate some Honda brands above the Toyota brands... And sorry to say I've also observed of late that is mostly southerners that rate Honda bad,not other parts of Nigeria..and yes even accords NO longer pull legs from 2008 till date...well I'm yet to see any,but if anyone has seen it on Nigerian road pls send me the pics...well said Sir once more.kudos 11 Likes |

I owned Honda civic but that is bcz I couldn't avoid super clear Tokunbo toyota corolla 06 or camry muscle 09. All the honda apologists here are dude of 1M car budget. Think of second hand value think toyota. Basic: See your car 'any brand' as your bed.... as you lay your bed, so must you lie on it. #maintenance 2 Likes |
