Please Our autogurus a friend of mine is in a fix. I urgently need your recommendation for an affordable Toyota or Honda model for a long distance sales worker covering min 5000km per month on Nigerian roads. You know how bad our roads are. Consider safety as the car will be on the expressways most of the time. Affordable maintenance cost. Car security etc I actually made mouth with the knowledge of nairaland auto forum assuring him that I will get answers here. |

Amhappy:From your write up, it is going to be a working car Buy a corolla 05 to 07, it comes with sensor key and install security. That will be your best bet. |
Re: Please Recommend A Car For My Friend by Rubbiish(m): 7:44pm On Aug 17, 2019 |
izzou:Every car are exposed to theft I read few days back on NL a venza was stolen Regardless of d car u buy, it wise to install security and i know from 05 corolla comes with sensor keys |
Re: Please Recommend A Car For My Friend by izzou(m): 8:50pm On Aug 17, 2019 |
Rubbiish: Quite correct But the corolla is worse. You know why? There's an available market for both the car and parts I've seen more cases with corolla than any other car. Most times, it's usually the parts they steal. Unless you have a gated compound, or if you have a plan to secure it, I can't recommend a corolla, especially in Lagos 1 Like |

Amhappy: 5000km per month Kwa? 25 working days a month means 200km daily... That's like round trip between 2 capital cities in the southwest daily. Like Lagos to ibadan and back or ibadan to ilorin and back everyday... Nah kanako (distance shortening jazz) the person need, no be car. 6 Likes |

When I was a pharmaceutical sales rep in 2014/15, I use Verna (Hyundai I guess) and it serves perfectly. Some other reps were using KIA Rio without issues too. Was covering Ondo, Ekiti and some part of Osun(Ilesha and Ife) Some other guys were using the Primera wagon & Golf wagon cos of their space but no one really complained about their vehicle 5k km monthly is exaggerated for a rep cos you won't travel every day 4 Likes |

timilehing: Thanks for your insight. The person covers whole of SE &SS. You are right though, travel is not everyday. |
