[quote=Siringi]Agreed.Top gear especiaaly the UK version are openly biased towards European cars.Sad

See what they score the VW golf volvo benz etc compared to cars from JapanShame on you Shame on you Shame on you

They annoyed me when they called the Honda CRV gari ya stay at home mothers for shopping and dropping kids to school kids soccer, drama etc! ! !

Aussies and Edmunds give fairer reviews.
I particularly like the comments and reviews of actual drivers (except Subarus)
Careful cause some people suffer from post purchase dissonance

Hiyo ni ugonjwa gani??
The Honda Pilot is the one for stay at home mums. lots of space..

Lets debunk the myths and. Separate facts from fiction

Why I love my Toyota:
1. Cheap to run - typical service after 5k km
Engine Oil Kes. 1200 4litres Hapo shell
Oil filter Kes 250 air Filter Kes 350
Denso plugs @Kes 150 = 600 after 10,000 to 15000 km
Tip the mechanic at the service station Kes 500

ATF once a year after Xmas ,

@ Commando & rryyzz! How many people fall in that category?


Someone may not need to exactly fit this script, but this is an example to a bigger picture. Take an example of taking a 9M mortgage where you pay 110K pm for 15 yrs(11.75 interest p.a) to own a 3BR in Kitengela. Some1 else will chose to buy a plot in Kitale and put up 6 rental units and make 60K pm, and chose to pay 25K rent p.m in Nai. I agree the people may not be too many, but the point is parking a serious car in a rented house is not always a stupid act.


And i know someone who can afford to buy a house but chooses to invest the money in trucking business and gets a handsome return at the end of every month, he thinks paying 100k a month for 15 years to own a house is stupid. He has however grown his business and says the day he chooses to build a house, he will do it in a flash, in the meantime, he rents a house hapo Doni near the parking lot for his trucks...

For 9m I get 30acres in Ushago where I practice agriculture instead of buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Hurlingham.Let me continue renting and parking a car in a rented house, after all I dont intend to live in Nairobi all my life.

I guess we all have valid points depending on one's priorities and finances. As for me I always consider sustainability above everything else; I do not borrow to support lifestyle

I agree 100%.

I know a loan shark (note that he is not a friend of mineLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly ) who tells me many guys in their 50s approach him to lend money against their expensive family mansions in Runda because they don't have investment income after paying mortgages all their lives until retirement.

@MC point is 90% of the cars Infront that cause jam will be serviced by Onyi and Ouma at the service station at costs within those ranges +- from the Allion/Premio Mark II , X , Korobois Ist, Vitz, Cami Runx/Allex , Rush,
The Sibuor VX can go queue @Toyota (k)

But my mboys kina Wambua and Anwar At the Garage do Kluger / Harrier Lexus RaV 4 etc
And the bills add or take cannot buy decent drinks at the local.

Not sure about the alphard lakini ya Noah Isis ipsum hiace nayua

Nataka kuona hapa bills za Eluopean aka Germany cars

Hapana kubali kugongwaShame on you
