Hello gurus in the house, I am hoping to get a small car in the next few months. Budget is 900k- 1million.

I am a young guy, single, mid twenties, earn about 150k monthly, I don't go out often (max 4 times a week).

I need a rugged car, easy to maintain, fuel efficient (because I handle deliveries sometimes for my business - a BBQ spot), and not so ugly (I go out for client meetings once in a while).

I have gone through some posts here and have seen someone talk about Honda Civic 2002. Please the floor is open, thanks guys.

Bring your 1 million, I will take my time to get you a great 2005 accord, if you’re lucky, 2007.

*modified

2005-2007 accord/civic only. No other car.

Nissan isn't common in the north and spare parts of the car in the north are twice the price sold down south.

Dude, forget all the old wives tale.

Start looking around to see what cars tickles your fancy then see if you can afford it.

Any car will break, parts are at most a week from UK or USA from shipping guys on here.

Don't limit yourself.

So set your sights on things you can afford.

I don’t sow seeds on strangers, sorry.

I think CVTs are only available on the hybrid civic models

from 2006 it was specified that the US version was only fitted with CVT because most civic in naija are bought brand new most would be fitted with automatic

Tnx man, that is to ascertain that 2000-2004 models of civic have d normal auto transmission?
Re: Please Recommend A Car For Me by HeavenlyBang(m): 6:46pm On Oct 12, 2018

Yes.

CVTs weren't even common then.
Re: Please Recommend A Car For Me by nurey(m): 8:07pm On Oct 12, 2018
[quote author=Olumyyde post=72025286][/quote]

my guess is that 1999-2005 hybrid of that generation would be fitted with CVT. but honda cvt isn't an issue except you pour ATF inside instead of CVT fluid.

The normal engines should have auto transmission

Funny enough, a lot of the Civic sold brand new in Nigeria came fitted with manual gears.
