Fairly Used : Primera 1.6l Vs Golf3 1.6l Vs Civic 1.6l Vs Sunny1.6 by aeu1: 4:45pm On Aug 08, 2013
For someone starting career that requires a private car for 90% within community movement & 10% traveling requiment.
Which do you recommend, Budget- 320k - 450k. Toyota corolla is ideal but price much higher for a clean fairly used thus the narrow down to the above alternatives.
Guide: pocket friendly maintenance, fuel economy, ease of repairs/ spares and durability are my major concerns.
Kindly share experience and profound suggestions
Thanks in advance

My order of preference, if i were in your shoes will be:

Golf3
Honda Civic
Sunny and,
the Primera.

Golf 3 is a very rugged car and good with fuel economy... The parts are readily available and affordable too...

1. Golf 3
2. Sunny
3. Primera

Considering your budget, delete the Honda from your list. Besides that I have numerous negative remarks to make about Honda especially fairly used models. A friend of mine bought a Honda last month but the front wheels pulled of at the third turn from the seller's house, I even saw a crashed Honda Civic today on my way back from church because of the front wheel/ball joint issue, I hope no life was lost.

My reason for telling you to leave the Honda is because to prevent similar events the maintenance cost will be on the high side. BUY THE GOLF 3

Thanks for the profound views, personally I like Volkswagen products, however from what I can fathom from topics this forum and car forums in other countries, Volkswagen specified engine oil and ATF is not avilable anywhere in the world outside VW dealership shops - at outrageous prices, VW is also designed for Premium fuel - which is not available in Naija, the regular feul here will result in poor fuel economy and other issues when used, can someone refute or confirm my points
