Is kia rio a good car in term of fuel consumption, availability of parts n cost of parts?
Is it possible to a toks?
How much?

The Rio is a good car in terms of value for your money. Its fuel consumption is also very good, considering the engine size is between 1.4-1.6L. However, it is not as durable as other Japanese imports in its class. The spares are also very expensive and there aren't enough competent mechanics out there, which means you may be forced to take it to Dana for repairs at high costs. For these reasons, its resale value is very poor. Depending on what you intend to use it for, the Rio could either be a bargain or a burden.

Thanks 4 ur response. U really enlightened me. Want 2 use it as a personal car but dont want 2 buy a burden. Thanks, once again.
Is Rover a good car in terms of d conditions I earlier listed?
Pls reply

Thank u Nairalanders. U are d best
which good car can some with 500k - 900k buy as toks? At least a car with cheap cost of maintenance, good fuel efficiency and low record of break downs?

Siena has summed it all up. The only Rovers to consider at all are the 600 series (618i, 620i) which are basically honda Accords. Also some of the 300 series are basically Civics. The Achilles heel of the recent Rovers is the cylinder head.
You may want to consider The Volkswagen Golf, The Nissan Sentra or the Audi 80. You can get these cars for less than N700k The Toyota corolla is a very good car, but priced a bit higher than others in its class.

i will advise you to get a camry 92-99. Buy the best one your money can afford. You can always sell it later for good money

@Kunle-A: I agree that the 92-99 series Toyata Camry is a good car, but these cars come with engine sizes of between 2.0-3.0L. Add this to the size of the vehicle and you don't get a very fuel efficient vehicle compared with the Volkswagen Golf. Also, due to the number of people who own these cars in Nigeria, spare part prices have risen astronomically. The OP has requested for a car that is cheap to run and maintain. I don't think the Camry will meet his requirements.

can someone also tell me something about volkwagen bug, fuel consumption, any known faults. Etc

@ Poster,
Camry 92-99 parts are not expensive at all. I owned VW Golf ll and lll, they are very strong. I was never afraid of any fult. If road is blocked i could jump the gutter, it's that strong. Camry is sleekier and spacious but i missed my Golfs. Fuel consumption difference in my v6 camry '99 and my golf lll 1.8 '96 from Abuja to Ado Ekiti is 11 litres. Distance of about 500km. Golf will make it in 5hours plus Camry makes it in 4hrs 20 mins.
There is little difference in the prices of the spare parts.
If i am convinced of reliability of VW Golf lll VR6 i will definitly buy one. Those i have seen had gear problems.
Buy any of the two, but you can always cheat ur Golf.
I nicknamed the Golf- ROCK.
The camry- ROCKET.
