Wow! This is very insightful! Thanks a lot bro! I'll be sure to keep this advise in mind. Sincerely speaking, I love that car. It's design and how spacious it is. When it comes to maintenance, I'm a very intentional person. At least, I dey maintain my generators well well.

It's just the leg pulling and the fuel economy that is giving me a dose of skepticism. No doubt, the spare parts are readily available.

The imaginary peace of mind that comes with owning a Corolla vanishes with insecurity

Rubbiish:

@bold it means your dad's corolla is faulty!
U guys should check the exhaust.
I use 3k fuel from Abuja to Edo state last week on a corolla. No car competes with corolla when it comes to economy.

I own a Peugeot 307 and I tell for a fact that corrola doesn't come close to it. In terms of fuel economy, availability of spare parts, the 307 is top much. Nigerians are just wired to Corolla because of how they abuse vehicle. Every car is good. Maintenance is key to enjoying a car. I even laugh more when people compare Toyota to Peugeot 406. Have you asked yourself why they use 406 as pilot 1 for long distance journey? Enough of this Corolla madness.

That stupid car that looks like I am driving Keke napep. I sold it off and focus on my 2009 Honda Accord.

Apart from the stupid mentality that it's not consuming fuel(which is a lie) there is nothing special about that car. My V4 Honda Accord save more fuel than that Corolla.

I drive both so I know what I am talking about.

OlawaleBammie:


I swear, anybody that says u re normal is not normal

grossintel:
Corrola is a glorified shitbox for broke people who want to save money and skip maintenance. They want a car they can abuse and still sell it to the next idiot. It doesn’t even save fuel like people think. My Lexus with V6 engine saves more fuel than my dads corrola, I even use AC all the time but he doesn’t.

I hv a 2004 corolla for 2.7m

How are you coping with electrical problems with Peugeot

uncleck:
A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:

Toyota Camry
Toyota Highlander
Acura MDX
Nissan Pathfinder
Honda Accord
Etc

It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.

But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.

In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion

Hybrid600:
In my opinion, when it comes to Honda Accords, no point managing a problem.
Service the car when it's due
Change ball joints the moment you begin hear that "kakakaka" sound when you cut in full to make a u- turn.
If you really wan enjoy Accord, be sure to buy direct tokunbo to experience real peace of mind.

Bluellake:

My Corolla 2010 was bought 2.5 ( Tokunbo, roo roo, no accident bcuz I went to Apapa myself to buy it ) two years ago. I was shocked to see the new price at 4.2M imagine! Well, I must say I'm really enjoying the car, strong and reliable. I haven't fix a thing in it since I bought it, just change oil and filter. That's all. Even i haven't refill the AC gas till now, still therein the one came with it. Really enjoying the car. With AC On, still not consume much fuel. Soon I'm giving it to my wife, I wanna try out BMW. When I drove one ( BMW), I think Corolla is for women, too light for hand bcuz sometimes I drives with just one of my fingers, Too simple men.

Honestly I have no electrical problem on my Peugeot. It's serving me well. All I do is routine service and that's all.

Corolla is over hyped, dull,unsafe and uninspiring piece of ugly metal that is littered all over our roads.
It's the band wagon mentality of Nigerians that made the car expensive, Nigerians like to copy others without any assurance that what they are copying will favour them.
Same reason every corner of every street is filled with POS operators.
Same reason every parent want their children to be Doctors or lawyers.

Nigerians are mentally lazy to research any product, scheme or brand they want to commit money into....this is why Ponzi people are cashing out big.

I wouldn't touch the 206 with a mile long pole.

I think it's because the parts are readily available, it's also has a good resale value and the mechanics are everywhere

Ubongdemaga:
please how much is Peugeot 406 direct tok now

GENES11S:


It is only Honda Civic of the same year as Corolla that has superior fuel economy.

When you are comparing car fuel economy you should not directly compare something of 2003 with 2009. That's not how the comparisons are done.

That said many people avoid older model Honda because the wheels are not well made. Anytime time am driving one i always feel uneasy around corners. They problem has been resolved for newer model Sha but they are expensive.

Thanks bro. I'll be getting my first car this year by God's grace. Honda Accord 2009 & Hyundai Elantra 2008 are at the top of my wishlist. Me I no get power to buy motor wey no go gree me sleep biko.

A farmer who planted maize on a roadside and a person driving corolla in Lagos are suffering from the same problem. If you know it, then, you belong.
