Kaymart,
I can talk of Camry 2001 V6 engine that i drove for same journey October 17th, 2021 from Ondo Town to Portharcourt. I wanted to inquired its fuel consumption at Sapele road in Benin Edo State when I top-up the fuel back with 17ltrs to fill-up on Camry 2001 V6 engine.
In total, how many litres did the journey take?

Una go soon make this Civic make e cost...

Cos na so Toyota come cost to the point of being so over-priced because of how Nigerians prefer to collectively flock to any brand with "public endorsement."

Civic no fit ever cost reach Toyota.

Toyota no just cost for nothing. It's years of them perfecting their engineering to the point they took over from Mercedes Benz in the tokunbo market, by retaining their value for several years.

People must have given it a 5* for a reason...

My first car is a Toyota Corolla 2004. The car is rugged. Very rugged. Got it in 2012 with 60,000 miles. Still using it today with about 250,000 miles. Though I have another Toyota Corolla 2011 and a Lexus GX 460, I am unable to part with my first love. That car will enter anywhere. Of all my cars, it has the best fuel consumption. Full tank will take you to and from Owo in Ondo State and you will still have fuel to drive around Lagos for one or two days.

But no matter what, don't park it in an unsecured place. My own has been targeted few times. My side mirrors were stolen before in broad day light when I went to barb and I parked few metres away from the barber shop. On another occasion, another set of men tried to steal the car in front of General Hospital in Ogba. This incidents happened in broad day light.

I can't say much about Honda Civic though.

How were you able to abort the theft at the General Hospital Ogba?

Throw whatever you want at me, it can't change anything about my experience. My first car was Honda City, I've driven end of discussion, discussion continues, even pilot which I bought from US and am still driving it. I had driven Toyota corolla which was bought from metropolitan autos, by Mobil at oba akran, tear rubber and i drove it for years too. I also drove a toyota Avensis, though tokunbo but it doesn't matter. Based on my personal experience, Honda is better.

The only reason to have more value than other brands is our mechanic that is all.

Two of that Civic was given to one of my family friends in 2004 from BOI, the car is mad in fuel economy, dem say Honda dey pull shaft, we drove this car for more than one year around Ijegun, Na only Little fuel we dey buy and you need to know the status of roads in Ijegun are very bad. Both cars are very very rugged and cool to drive, the most regretted car every made by Honda and Toyota.

The only thing worse than when a person has no solution to your problem is when they give you very stupid advice and make it sound like it's coming from Mt. Olympus.

Someone wants to know which of two cars will be better for Bolt and instead of keeping quiet to wait to hear what those who have used both will say...someone says he should buy one and watch how things go.

It's difficult to explain how useless this answer is to the OP. I won't bother

I blame Buhari for these type of solutions, he has reduced our collective IQ through his sheer emptyness



ameristu:
I would say try out any of the cars first to get your first hand opinion.

Buy the car of your choice, use it for uber/bolt then you can know if the car you picked is good or not.

Parts availability
Highly sellable...
Easy handling
Low maintenance cost
Fuel economical
Rugged
A car built for Uber in Nigeria cool


The maintenance cost of corrolla is not low. Its more expensive than camry in terms of maintenance

When God bless me with money to buy car, I will comment on posts like this.... Until then, good luck with any of them you go for because just like Dominic said in fast and furious, it's the driver of a car that matters not the car itself.... So I think it depends on how good u are as a person and how u treat your vehicle...... Some people will come and say corolla is better... Others will say Honda is better.... The final decision ultimately rests with the end user of the vehicle

Good Morning great gurus,

Please am currently trying to get a car as am planning to start Bolt or Uber as a side hustle, by the special grace of God, but that's not why i created this thread.

I just want to know which is reliable, durable, that can withstand pressure (on the engine) in short better overall between the two cars, personally I have read alot of reviews here from you guys on the both ride, and I am considering getting the Civic, but my friends keep telling me Corolla is the best worldwide grin but then I reply them that the Honda is cheaper and even more beautiful, but they're not trusting the cheap price, some even mock me jokingly that na who no get money de tok say beer no sweet (what is it with the average Nigerian and Toyota sef undecided )



Truth be told, am a bit suspecting and having reservation's for the price of the Honda Civic

Frankly to be honest, am a novice when it comes to auto's

I just want a wider view on both and possibly the advantages one have over the other

Note the Honda is a manual transmission while the Corolla is auto

So I bring my case to the legends over here, what's your take?

Cost o parts replacement

Fuel economy

How rugged they are

How easy for mechanic to work on

Resale value
Thanks

Bro look for same civic with auto transmission, and drive in peace, cos the rate corollas are being stolen/vandalized...

Thanks for this Sir

The Civic goes for 650k the Corolla is 1.4m

What do you think about the great difference between the prices? Is there something sinister about it?
then this answers it. Buy two of the civic, give one to a trusted friend in need to also make a living. You can never go wrong on that price, that is quick return of investment.
Base on the following parameters, I will rate each cars on scale of 1 - 10.

Cost of buying
Corolla - 3/10
Civic. - 9/10

Maintenance cost
Corolla - 7/10
Civic - 9/10

Ruggedness.
Corolla - 8/10
Civic. - 6/10

Fuel economy
Corolla - 8/10
Civic - 9/10

Engine reliability
Corolla - 7/10
Civic. - 9/10

Resale value after use
Corolla - 9/10
Civic. - 3/10.

Total score - corolla - 40/60
Civic. - 45/60

The Civic wins.

Forget the resale value after use, you have nothing to lose, the buying price is taking care of that, so from a business point of it, save your money and invest in a friend or another business with the balance.
If you really want to kill this race, get the 08/09 Honda City. It's more rugged in grand clearance and beats corolla in the above parameter scale hands down.

The car owner should be very poor with maintenance or bought a front-wrecked but packaged tokunbo car.

Also, are you 100% sure that it is 2012 because one could be deceived using mere body shape to judge?

it was btw 2010 to 2013 coupe
. the car was very clean too. I don't knw the owner one on one tho.

You obviously lack wisdom and understanding on matters, so is your reason for this write up.

How did those that compared the cars know the difference, did they find out the difference from asking.

Lack of wisdom is your primary problem so no need to answer you.

Bro, Honda Civic over Toyota Corolla any day anytime! Nigerians think Corolla is the only economical car. Go for a 2006-2009 Honda Civic, they come with automatic gear and even more beautiful than the ones you are considering. By the way, it seems you want to go for a Nigerian used car? Be very careful with the one you buy. Ensure to go inspect it with a TRUSTED mechanic.

Honda is too low for our bad roads
