Hello, plz i need advice on honda civic from model 03 to 08 model. which one is good to buy .
his d car rugged,
fuel economy
his d part cheap.
also, d ground clearance, how can someone cope with .

Can d car be use for Uber /Bolt.
His d car rugged for ehailing.


Thanks in anticipation.
If your aim is Uber alone ... 03 to 05 is better, since it is cheaper to maintain and buy

If you aim to use it privately, for work and occasionally for Uber {na you go dey drive m oh} then the 06 to 11 is better since it is more tushed up.

03 to 05 looks dated but what the heck as long as e make me money using it on Uber

06 to 11 looks more modern, both interior and exterior (usa version especially).

Me I prefer the 06 to 11, I own one, I hate car that I can't look at and body no go sweet me.
. One of the reason I also hate corrola

Nezero:
I built mine with about that amount.
3 bedrooms,1 living room, 1 kitchen , 1 toilet/bath, 1 dining room. I used less than 1500 blocks. All plastered and tiled. Electrical wiring done. No fence.



No well or running water yet

It's small though. The whole house is 33 by 22. I used 9 bundles of roofing sheets. I used Louvre windows.


If you really mean it, you can do it.
It could be better but I trusted the wrong person..


Do a lot of homework. I got plenty of info on Nairaland.. like how to calculate no. of blocks. Foundation, window, lintel and roof levels.

God help you
Please boss share your number, I would like to talk to you, have similar project in mind

The whole thing was looking so bad compare to what he advertised on nairaland, he used pictures of when he bought it which made the pics of the car looks clean, on getting there myself, it was this that I saw, so since it's a cheap buy, I decided to buy it,
I was told of a guy who Transform anything driven, that he is the best at car transformation, like upholstery work, body work, good paint oven bake jobs, mechanical and upgrades to newer models,so I contacted him, delivered the car for him to inspect and gave me an estimate...
When you see say e no look as advertised, na that time you for run, cry

Well anything is possible as long as you are ready to pay, it is well

Hello!

If it is the high mileage, extended performance Mobil 1, DO NOT USE except your engine is leaking oil already.
By 'leaking oil', I mean engine oil minimally SEEPING out of some parts of the engine, giving it a wet appearance.

If your engine block and sump are dry and free of engine oil seepage, continue with the normal full synthetic Mobil 1.

Why?
The HIGH MILEAGE, extended performance Mobil 1 contains additives that swell up your oil seals. The aim is to improve the competence of the seals in a high mileage engine (some of which are likely to have started allowing oil seep through).
However, the unintended consequence of using the oil in an engine not yet leaking oil is compromise of the integrity of intact seals....and they will soon start seeping oil.

I do hope you understand. Good luck.

I am not responsible for the indeterminate state of your vehicle...Go take out your frustration on Mr Labie or whoever grin

The way you and this vehicle are going, the girl you are planning to gift it to will have left you by the time it's ready grin.... That's if she hasn't seen you already for being an all mouth and no action nigga and has left you in soul and is just taking her time to take even her body away from you ..

You talk too much to be able to be a useful boyfriend or husband....no wonder you have to pressure the poor girl into marrying you with a scrap CRV...Abandon that scrap car, work on your attitude and you will stand a better chance with the girl smiley

Hi guys, pls I need ur urgent advice, which is better between Honda Civic 08 and Toyota Corolla 06.
Kindly give reasons. Thanks
I have an 08 Honda Civic and a 05 Pontiac vibe which is like a corrola,

The Civic is sleeker, has better handling, fancier interior and better safety (side airbag front and back seat, Toyota only have for front seat ), the Honda has colder AC. Acceleration is better on the Civic, fuel consumption is better on the Civic
, Toyota has a better ride height, for
Ruggedness will say Toyota is better / the Honda can be rugged if you stick to manufacturer specified fluids and maintainaces.


If I am to choose only one, I prefer the Civic for the reason above

It has already been bought. I'm ready to put in 200k max into the car to fix AC and everything. If I spend more than that, then I can start regretting.

For now, the ride drives like a horse. Sharp brakes, sweet engine.

Na only AC remain, and then to beautify the interior, which I said 200k max will clear. For now, na to dey learn driving, and no better way for me, than to learn with a car like this. I'll learn every issues through the challenges it poses.
I like your mindset brother, nothing do.. No matter the car, There will be tough and good time, I am sure you will prevail kudos �
Car Talk › Re: Should I Buy This EOD? by dicksonadams(m): 2:27pm On Aug 12, 2020
How I wish it was the 4 cylinder variant... Or a manual gear variant of the V6.

Statistically, you can google this, the 6 cylinder variant is more prone to automatic transmission failure, reason being that the engine is too strong for the auto transmission and easily wear it out, Also the power steering of the V6 fails more often than the i4.

Best value for money would be the V6 + manual gear or i4 + auto or manual gear

Every other things are the same

25k do you need it now call or Whatsapp: 07033059769
I will advise you to patronize a good technician for your airbag repairs, avoid quacks at ladipo, they will come for airbag repair, they no go even hold scanner wey fit scan airbag...

They don't even know how to remove battery before working on airbag they will work on it directly risking the airbag triggering.

And when they reinstall your steering back, it will no longer be straight.


Please do your research and visit a proper mechanic with the right tools

If you must go for the accord make sure it is the i4, ensure you use the manufacturer specified fluid... This is very important

Also check the leg any time you do an oil change at specialist Honda mechanic and do necessary service as needed

I am an Honda fan, however if you have the money to maintain either without stress , I will say go with the Avalon... It is more closer to a real luxurious car.
