I promise that I will post the remaining pictures of my Honda civic 03. I mention early on my previous post that the civic is 90k miles, original miles. A lot of people were doubtful .. Am not here to brag, but am here motivate people ....... If you decide to get a civic for uber .. I will highly recommend a Tokunbo civic 03 to 05. Use the Mobil 1 extended performance and ultra synthetic oil filter... change oil every 12k miles or five months and you are good to go ..have done that and am happy and my cars are running great ....

Now my advice to anyone thinking about going into uber business.. Keep in mind the dynamic of the business has change.. Before I was screaming elantra 07 upwards etc .. But any car from 07 upwards for uber ,will be a great waste of time and resources.. Look for smaller cars that are rugged ,cars like civic, rio ,Honda city etc .. If you are still buying corolla 03 ,04 ,05 upwards.. You are wasting your time .. It will be a lot better to sell the car and get a smaller less expensive but reliable car .. A word is always enough for the wise . Have been doing uber for the past 2+ now .... And uber has been in Nigeria for almost three years or more .. So my point is am not a rookie in the business.. ..

Dru23, thanks for this super review and God bless you.

Never experience such at all ... the only issue I had with the civic is the a/c fan .. We had to replace and fix few times.. Other than that I have no regrets at all .. My advice is look for a tokunbo civic and you good to go .. Keep up with good oil ,coolant etc .

Wanna know the landing cost of a Honda civic with acceptable year for Uber and Taxify. Thanks

@dru23

Have you had any of your drivers drive a manual car before? Did they complain that it was more difficult.

I've seen manual versions of good cars, near tokunbo conditions that are cheap, like 2004, Honda accord, 2001 Honda civic, 2009, 2010 Honda City, etc. They are cheap because they are manual drive and most people want automatic transmission.

But I keep hearing that you shouldn't do taxify or uber with manual transmission, that one may regret it.

You can use manual drive on uber/taxify or any e hailing.. The question is that how many drivers will except and delivery rate .. Point blank to be on the safe side .... I take God beg ,stick to Automatic and Automatic only... to avoid stories

Hustle and motivate bro ... am very happy bro .. .. Those civics are good now especially at the climate that we are in the e hailing business.. Just make sure you maintain that car from the start bro.. Use good oil ,coolant and do the basic things.. And don't ever, ever let any mechanics remove the thermostat from the car .... You will enjoy the car .... From the picture the car looks clean.. Nice one.. You will enjoy the car... let me tell you a funny story.. One of my drivers that drives the civic is out of town for few weeks.. So my Mrs. Has been driving the car .. I ask why u driving the car ..she said the car runs fine and fuel consumption is better than her car . She said she has use 3k naira fuel since o . If she is by herself, she will drive the civic, but if she get passengers family etc . She takes her own car ...

Tnk boss, u r too gud

I really don't know.. Civic is for the USA Market.. And I guess the city is for the European market... but if you can get a good civic especially tokunbo from 03 to 05 for around 1.3m . You are good to go .. The car will last you years to come

I have never change fabric to leather before ...all my cars are tokunbo and tokunbo only.. Full body spray or minor spray in my experience can be as little as 10k to 30k ....

Very hard to get toks for 1m .. Up your budget abit. A lot of civic and especially corolla are badly abused naija ones out there.. Most people feel that since those cars are strong, they tend to ignore maintenance.. When buying one look for transmission issues, oil type coolant etc.. Check for sludge etc

Good day Dru23, Please someone told me that Honda civic 2003-2005 don't have the problem of leg pulling, please i want to confirm how true it is.

The only thing about civic or Honda cars is ATF aka gear oil .. Their transmission can be unforgiving if you use the wrong ATF .. Honda engines can take a lot of abuse o ,trust me from experience.. And I never had any leg pulling issue

Dru is a strong Honda Civic advocate ��

Wait till I introduce you To some of my volvo friend.
