We are gentlemen and gentleladies here, please angry

I also still believe, that considering the purchase cost and maintenance cost, THE COROLLA IS NO LONGER THE RIGHT TOOL FOE THIS BUSINESS

But I don't know the right tool yet cry[/color]
For me personally the civic 03 to 05 is the best car for job. The 03 to 05 civic have been tested and proven to handle the stress of uber job.....

only regret is that I wish I knew about the durability of the car at early stage of the business....now on your early post I agree with you 100% that in order for you to make money with ehailing, you need more than 1 car .. Having four cars that you can conveniently manage after learning the ropes of the business is an ideal number ...Anything more than that will equal.... More money, more problems

Smiles, Trump was never a scientist, even the Almighty Fauci said its a normal flu and it would go away and trump makes his judgment based on what the scientists gave to him. Even when no one agreed he should close China he did closed it far too early and that saved millions of lives. Nobody expected such a pandemic to occur and even if, don't you understand that the CDC were supposed to have presented their budget to him but they failed to do that?? As for those governors, you can't shut down an economy, there need to be a safe way to reopen for things to move slowly that's what the people are saying. The democrats blocked the latest funds he wanted to assist Americans and still you want to blame Trump for the failure of the deep state that never liked him. From day one, the media are always hostile towards him since the day he won. When he banned China they said all kind of things calling him a racist and now they are saying he's not proactive, when he was giving them guidelines the speaker of the house encouraged people to go out to China town and disregard the presidents order, the mayor of new York said they should not be worried that they got things under control, the media were first to call it Chinese virus and Wuhan virus but when Trump did they called him racist, the media when he banned China from entering told him he was too hard and that its just a flu. So they can call it flu and the president can't call it flu?? The minority leader at the senate deleted his tweet of him condemning Trump from banning China, why did he deleted ithuh? My brother you need to stop your illogical thinking and reasoning, he has tried his best as no one expected this thing but you not worried about buhari that we had to very for him to close flight from China late march but concerned about trump that did as far back as January 31. Something must be wrong with that person that says he didn't respond on time.

Exactly, Trump has been doing his best for Americans since it became certain that the virus is real. even here in the UK the prime minister didn't take it serious at first, he was still suggesting people should carry on going out to work, he was very arrogant about it at first and during the first wave of infections and deaths, eventually he caught the virus himself, now the UK is afraid of relaxing the lockdown after 16000 deaths. even though spain, Germany and france have relaxed their lockdown.

You see why I they insult people, first case was reported January 14 or so, 1 or no death before January 31 when he banned China and he was not proactive, I guess buhari was proactive. February ending the speaker of USA was telling Americans to go to China town while Trump was advising citizens on social distancing. What happened to the national stockpile that wasn't replenished after Obama used them all, but they had to rebuild things over again, why did WHO tell the world as at mid January it wasn't a human to human disease spread, remember that Trump was holding taskforce meeting while the impeachment was ongoing instead for the democrats to work with him to curb the disease. Why did the Chinese denied scientists access to Wuhan, why did the silent doctors that wanted to warn the world?? You need to be logical in your reasoning, he's not a scientist and he had listened to them when they gave recommendations, remember they were working with the little info about the virus cause the Chinese hid and denied people access to study this pandemic. Let's reason like literates and not market women.

You chose to cherry pick your argument. Why did Trump say flu was deadlier than the virus? Obama didn't empty the national stockpile, that was a false statement. Let even assume Obama did (which had been proven as a lie), Trump has been president for 3 years plus, why didn't he replenish it?. Impeachment had nothing to do with his response to a pandemic that would kill his own citizens.Tell me what he presented to the house regarding his handling of the case and the house denied him? A president that tweeted to fire Dr Fauci in the midst of pandemic. A president that turned coronavirus media briefing to political campaign. A president that kept using gutter language against the journalists, a president that that insulted woman and constantly referred to Michigan governor as "that woman". A president that overruled his own policy by encouraging citizens to revolt against the governor. A president that defunded WHO in the midst of pandemic, even America medical association (AMA) condemned his move.

You're probably right. Mine is strictly for personal use but I've seen a lot of guys that use Elantra (07-10 model) for Uber, it's a strong car and I'm sure it will handle that very well.
Yes it is strong car , but with uber business you have to consider durability, price, maintenance, parts, resell value, before you decide to get any car for the job ....So for me personally civic fits in those things I mentioned, apart from the resell value... but in life you can't have it all, you have to give up something to get something else . You have to have a trade off

Maybe, or you want to show me a civic 06 or Elantra 07 in good condition after the 200,000mile mark.
Funny enough, At early stages of my ehailing business, I had an 07 elantra, tinted blue in color, when I bought the car it had over 200k miles on it ,I sold for 600k to another driver , it had " suspension " issue according to my former bleaching manager... He advice me to sell it ,and he said he will get me a buyer for it .....but that car was strong....


When it comes suspension, elantra might not be very strong compare to civic or Corolla.. But the engine is has good or even better than Corolla.. Keep in mind the elantra was design and built to compete with Corolla...

Hyundai cars has come a long way and it has become one of the top selling brand in the USA.. I will pick a civic or elantra over any Ford cars anytime, anyday

And also one of my old civic 03 , had 248k miles when I sold it. ....


Ps .. At one time in the USA , Honda cars were one of the most stolen cars .. Due to their strong engine , in fact blacks and especially Hispanic -Americans use to steal the civics, especially the prelude at that time to modify the engine and race with them ..

No civic or Honda cars were safe at any neighborhood at that time.... Gosh , I remember those days like yesterday.. Cops use to chase those Honda cars up and down due to drag racing .... Am still having flash back grin

I haven't used a Civic before, but currently I'm using an 09 Elantra.
The car is really nice, reliable and very fuel efficient. I've had no issues since I got it other than the normal routine maintenance. It's very Economical also, last month I used 3k fuel from Asaba to PH and still had enough left.
Mine is a manual transmission though.
Just do your due diligence before buying.
For personal use, elantra is very ok and strong engine ..but for uber use , I will go for civic over any car. Not just elantra

But I think you didn’t see where the op specifically mentioned the model years he’s interested in.

Car gurus and sellers, plz which is the better option to buy in terms of fuel consumption, maintainance costs, available of spare parts and all other things generally speaking?
Also i noticed i hardly see Honda Civic cars for sale online, is it that the car does not have good resale value or people just avoid buying it?
Your advice/opinion is needed. Thanks.

Honda Civic 2006/07 or Hyundai Elantra 2007.

The car will be mostly for driving within the city to and from work but occasionally used for traveling out of the state.
Based from experience on my civic 03 to 05 on uber.. 06 civic should be very ok ,especially if you are using it for personal use.. Easy car to maintain

as for me, civic is way ahead of Hyundai elantra and when it comes to travelling and using it within the city, you will enjoy it very well if its bought as Toks and also remember to check the VIN history also. I delivered one to client in akwa ibom few years ago and he hasn't called me up till date that the car is giving him headache though i am the one that sends engine oil and oil filter every 3 months.
Very true, especially civic 03 to 05 .. Talking from experience.. I love the civic good car for uber .. I hope to get more for my fleet on uber
