I thank God I started with a honda as a first car,when I later drove someone muscle,it felt so crappy ,poor handling and too light.

Na the person wey no sabi maintain his car. It’s handling should feel soft but tight and decent.

it was soft,but it felt too light and wasn't sweet to accelerate and drive.

It’s not a sports sedan. It’s a midsized family sedan with emphasis on comfort.

Plz, help me to choose between big daddy camry 04/05 . 05/06 and Honda civic 2007. As a first car owner. I need your review about the two care.

Thanks in anticipation.
@kingreign
What is your take please.
Someone is telling me that big daddy Camry consumes much fuel. I am finding it hard to believe considering that Lagos roads are filled with this car.

In it class, the fuel consumption is ok, if compare to smaller displacement 4 cylinder engine cars like 1.8L Corolla, yaris etc, then yes it consumes more and when compared to higher displacement engine (even with more cylinder), then it consumes less .

VERY OK sir,most people sees it as a woman's car,got one for my old woman in march this year,even though it was her preferred choice over pontiac vibe, personally,even though its my personal view not necessarily the fact,I think vibe ages better than the matrix,but I find the exterior styling of the matrix more appealing compared to the vibe,(especially from 09 model years),and it will serve her better than the corolla due to its better cargo space,that also is my personal opinion.

Some days back if I'm not mistaken, we were talking about how fast a car brand can sell,I mentioned location as a key factor and stood my ground that in the core north I don't believe toyota sales faster than Honda, see example below grin

Good evening everyone, I’d like to know which is a better car between a 2017 Avalon limited and a 2015 gs350 probably f sport, I want a ride that’s very smooth when driving with nice interior quality, very nice sound system, nice techs and can go fast when I want it to, coming from someone that has had the 2017 accord touring for over a year. I know the gs350 is more packed than the Avalon but I think the Avalon looks better. I’ve never driven both cars so I don’t know how nice it is driving both cars. Any suggestions of nice sedans in the 9-11m range will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance sirs.

I’ve had the 2015 cla250 in the past (shitty car), the 2016 c300 does not have a solid engine, the e class in that price range has a dated interior. I don’t know about bmw or any other German brand, I no want any Wahala make I buy Japanese cars wey I sabi wella. If my budget was higher I could have gone for a 2016 c450, 2017 e400 or a 2020/2021 accord 2.0t.

Go with the Toyota Avalon bro,its a sedan.

The GS isnt really a reliable sedan,and hope you know that its already discontinued(a pointer).

All the best bro.

You reply am well.

Get the gs350.

It doesn't have the boat ride feel of the Avalon.
It has AWD which gives it better road manners.

It's also .

The Avalon does not have boat ride body roll and it's decently quick on it's feet. Same car with the Lexus ES.

Does this mean the Avalon rides as smooth as the es? Does it have soft suspensions like the es as well?

Hi guys,

I plan on getting a Honda car. I have someone who wants to sell Nigeria used Honda accord 2003, it's clean, first body, but I read lot of reviews about the car. I heard Honda's from 2000-2003 do have leg issues, transmission etc.

Is it advisable to go for the honda accord 2003 and also I plan on using it more frequently.
