Great Used Cars To Be Considered By Undergraduates by pinson(m): 1:22pm On Oct 02, 2017
Walking to lectures can be the most stressful experience witnessed by students apart from listening to boring lecturers. Sometimes, there is an emergency test a lecturer just announced and you have to run to meet up. Sometimes, there's insufficient public transportation, inconvenient off-campus housing or faraway nightlife. Getting a car becomes more and more important as the beards begin to suffer the pain of the soles. It is important that a student, if capable, gets a car to ease the stress involved with schooling.
For this reasons, and because we love you, we have compiled this list of cars that are the cheapest and will get you all you want as a student. Key attributes include low cost of ownership, modern electronic features, good crash ratings, distinctive style and a versatile cargo area to fill up with hostel contents, a bicycle, a keg or what have you.
1. Mazda 3 (2004-2009)

Prize range: from ₦600, 000- ₦4m
The mazda 3 was a top rated compact car when it was first released. Iit was a mixture of sharp styling, sharper driving dynamics, above-average cabin quality and a versatile available hatchback body style that made it unique.
One downside is that it consumes fuel.

2. Toyota Yaris (2006)

Price range: ₦700,000- 5m
The Toyota Yaris looks like a small car from the outside. However, it compactness and compatibility as made one of Toyotas best sellers. It has been well praised by reviewers and its ability to perform well is second to none. It is good for guys with small clique they would like to go around and has a considerable space for hostel moves.
3. Honda CR-V (2002-'06)


Price range: ₦1m-5m
The CRV has been versatile, reliable and efficient, but we call out this generation for two reasons. The price for the CRV is quite an amazing price considering the fact that they don't easily suffer depreciation in ready marketability. Second, the space in the CRV can take in virtually all you want. From home theaters to in fact small tables to drink with friends. The CRV possesses a good reputation aftermarket solutions and touches and you can always customise your media players to how you want it.

4. Peugeot 107


Price range: ₦1.5m- 4m
The designers for the 107 engineered a compact car with an assertive character, versatility in use and above all, was totally at ease in the urban environment. The 107's plastic bumpers can shrug off some quite hefty scuffs without affecting their function.
The 107 smallness has raised to the height of giant in the industry which is ironic of cars its size. To buy the car is to become a giant yourself. Its style is quite stunning and you maybe looking to run away with it if you got the money.

5. Toyota Aygo

Price range: ₦1.5-4m
The Toyota Aygo is a city car sold by Toyota since 2005. The Aygo was used on BBC's Top Gear in a giant match of football, showcasing its maneuverability. The Top Gear presenters deemed the Aygo and its Peugeot and Citroën counterparts to be competent town cars.
If you ride around after listening to that boring lecturer, this is best for you.

Well, we just have you options but we have to add that our options are not absolute. They are only our suggestions of the best cars for students. Although, we will like to say that we don't advice that you walk into any car dealer's shop of you have other expenses more important than the car. As students, it is better to walk with your soles, than your pocket empty.

My undergraduate friends were using 07 Avalon, camry muscle, Honda crv, Honda Accord EOD all of them were into yahoo yahoo the only guy with clean money the was using a 95 Avalon and he was managing his life.

Undergraduate owing car in Nigeria through legit means is still a mirage. Besides Mazda 3 really, cheap car means expensive wahala. 2006 Toyota yaris for 700k even naija used is a million or more, don't kid yourself.

Any student who needs mobility in university should be looking at Bajaj, boxer, lagata and Co or better still BMX

Seriously, I was gonna ask him if this list was for UniMaid or ABTI students.

For those scared of bikes, it's because Nigerians don't wear the proper gear.
Besides, it's a university environment, how fast would you possibly go?
The only cons of bikes are riding in the rain (for which there are raincoats, duh) and riding under the influence of anything - including action movies.
Pros:
*Huge mileage per tank
*Far less maintenance
*Easy DIY (except you go & buy one with fuel injection)
*Overabundance of dirt-cheap parts (except, as above)
*No unnecessary attention/distractions (except, also as above)
*Portability (you could keep it in your room) grin
*Ease of modification - if you choose to go that route
*Good power-to-weight ratio for when you decide to be all daredevilly
...etcetera.
