Is it ok using a minibus as a family car? I saw a minibus today which i fancied.It comes with a factory third row seat

The design is not common and i plan on customizing it and putting alloy rims.

Both i and my wife have cars of our own,and we are expecting a fourth baby.i am afraid that a sedan will not easily fit six of us.

Is it advisable to buy or i should just save money and buy sienna.

Another reason why i want to huy the minibus is its fuel economy and availability of parts.

I also want to know if i register the minibus with a private number will i need to install a speed limiter on it?

It's a vehicle that will serve you not minding the fact that it is used mostly for commercial purposes.
If it meets your budget and purpose,go for it.

Strange. It's a bus, a no fancy bus. Some couple of savings could add to what already have to buy this 'family bus' to aid you buy a nicer family car like the sienna.

This is the kind of 'family bus' you drive your family to a function and everyone by the road keeps flagging you down shouting 'Area 1', 'Obalende', 'CMS'

So you want to live the rest of your life wishing you did something or actually saying YES, I did it ? I'm sure you saw hundreds of Siennas before you settled on this. The Sienna isn't a bad ride, don't get me wrong but I can see you want something different so why not go for what you want and have that fulfillment itch scratched off ? Next week, you can decide to go for a 2022 Sienna and nobody will begrudge you

And the sienna?

More than half of the sienna on Nigeria roads are for commercial.

@Op,

You can go for it but make sure you get a clean one. Install bigger rims and tyres, apply light tint on the side glasses for privacy. Though I would have preferred the Suzuki to this one. The Suzuki looks much more appealing. I have some units available for sale

I don’t tell people what vehicle you buy. That being said I owned one for well over a year in Ibadan.

The 4WD was a life saver. Parts were an issue because it’s not as common as the Suzukis. This one is rear engine.

Good luck.
