Best Cars For Uber And Bolt by andteachallnati: 8:42pm On Jun 13, 2023
Don’t buy any car higher than a 1.8L engine capacity. The lower the engine the better for you sef. The bigger the engine the higher the fuel consumption. And your highest running cost is fuel. NEVER BUY A V6 ENGINE (3.0L & above engine) FOR UBER/BOLT!
Accord is a 2.0 /2.4L /3.0L engine so don’t go there!

Don’t forget, you need the AC running in top shape ( AC increases fuel consumption) and your price for parts must be low.
Factors to consider for the car:
1. Price of initial purchase
2. Condition of engine, gear, body rust, AC & tyres / suspension
3. Size of engine
4 Cheap & available replacement parts.
5. Never buy a car without scanning the engine and GEAR 1st. Invest in a good scanner that can scan both. It cost fron 60k & above.

These cars a great for Uber/Bolt.

1. Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent. They are the same car. 1.4L & 1.6L
PRO- they have the best fuel economy I know of. AC & suspension is also very good. Very good to buy as naija used but expensive as tokubo,
CON- One of the most expensive replacement parts.

2. Toyota Corolla- 1.6L, 1.8L
PRO- available parts. Good fuel economy. Very good AC, good suspension & strong engine. Every mechanic can fix it. Very good leg room for riders.
CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo or naija used). Parts are available, but very expensive.

3. Toyota Yaris 1.5L
PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, suspension & strong engine. Every mechanic can fix it
CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo or naija used). Parts are NOT available & very expensive.

Honda City- 1.5L
PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, Excellent suspension (the ONLY HONDA with good suspension) & strong engine. Parts are very cheap at Oyingbo in Lagos, but expensive everywhere else.
CON- very OVERPRICED (extremely expensive to buys as tokunbo but cheap as naija used). Better to use a HONDA specialist as mechanic.

Honda Civic 1.8L , 2.0L Avoid the 2.0L
PRO- Excellent fuel economy. Very good AC, strong engine. Parts are very cheap at Oyingbo in Lagos, but expensive everywhere else. Very good leg room for riders.
CON- Bad suspension. Better to use a HONDA specialist as mechanic. The 1.8L engine is rare in automatic gear but available as manual.

Kia Picanto 1.1L
PRO- The BEST fuel economy I know of. AC & suspension is also very good. Very good to buy as naija used but expensive as tokubo,
CON- One of the most expensive replacement parts. No space for luggage. Riders don’t like the compact seating.
