Kuku kee him

MobilityExpress:
This is a rubbish statement! I own a Kia Rio, 2008 hatchback model, bought brand new from Dana in November 2011, and up till today, no issues whatsoever. Other than normal routine service of oil change, brake pads change, AC gas refill, I have never done any repairs on the car. In fact, I just replaced the fan / timing belt early October 2018, that’s like almost 7 years. Show me how many cars that their belts are that durable? And it was a simple fix for the mechanic. As for fuel efficiency that people usually hype corollas for, Kia Rio is even more fuel efficient. And i’m speaking from 1st hand angle, because I use both cars. There was a time in 2016, my 2004 Ford Transit van, high roof, long wheel base, with about 5000+ GVWR broke down around Ogudu, towing vans were calling high price, hmm, I just called for my Kia Rio and I towed the Ford from Ogudu to bariga and my Kia engine was up to the task. I towed another bigger car with it this year from Lekki to mainland, and no problems whatsoever. As for me, let me speak for myself, my Kia has been a very reliable workhorse. 7 years, I have never topped the coolant, no leaks in the cooling system. I only replace coolant after 3 years as a general protocol. When I bought the car, it had an electric temp gauge, you won’t see any reading at all, just the temp symbol and I wasn’t comfortable with that. I like to look at the temp reading, so that I can know when and if the car is about to overheat. But in 7 years, I have never had any overheating, not even once. My radiator fans have never failed for one day in 7 years, and it’s an intermittent fan, shuts on and off, low speed, high speed etc. Never replaced thermostat in 7 years, never replaced any fuse or relays in seven years, only changed the rear light bulbs. For 7 years, my headlights are still working well, no burn outs, even the fog light still works (unlike Corollas that die out easy, barely 2 months, my corolla fog light and full beam light is dead because i entered some flooded areas, but my Rio has been in more flood than I can count). In 7 years, all my dashboard instrument panel set still works fine, car stereo still works fine, although the CD player misbehaves sometimes. Bottom line is, among all my cars and cars that i’ve used, only the Kia Rio has lasted 7 years straight without giving me any major problems. So i’m wondering how you came up with this type of false premise about Kia Rio. Kia Rio is a car I would recommend to anybody, and I hardly recommend any car brand. If you maintain it well and drive it well, it will serve you. But if you fire down regularly anyhow, flooring your pedal to be competing with V6 and V8’s on the road, as if the Kia Rio is a Ferrari, then you will have yourself to blame. As for Uber/Taxify the only reason i chose Corolla over the Rio was because when I asked about it, the corolla engine was far cheaper to buy. But Kia is in the same league with Hyundai: costly engine. And for a car that will be driven all day, all week, all year long, better to use a car whose engine can be easily replaced without cutting my head off. Anyway, this your claim about Kia being a problematic car is false as far as I’m concerned. Like Trump would say - #FAKENEWS

PS: here’s another spoiler, since January 2018, i’ve been parking my Kia Rio on the street and this is November 2018, no single case of theft or vandalism . And mind you, this is an open community on the mainland with bad boys all around, not like a restricted estate or exclusive court. Sometimes the car might not even move in 2 weeks, other than dust, nobody has interest in touching it, no missing side mirror glass or missing emblem, or missing brainbox. But my corolla, ehn, who born me well, after all the stories that touch i’ve heard online and offline?

You always forming Mr Nice guy on this forum .Pls be realistic .Let me even try my luck, Can I send my account number so I can authenticate all this your philanthropist image u always paint

Jomandi13:
Abeg take am easy before you finish us with your grammar.

lagostaxiguy:
I agree, CLEAN car is the most important not exactly the make or model

jpworld:
Only reason I will enter that car, is if I'm late for appointment. After that driver will take 1 star as punishment.

1star rating 3times is enough to block account

jpworld:
All riders don't just like corolla, they love it.

You think drivers rejecting Kia rio are stupid. They have every good reason to reject that car.

jpworld:
AS a rider if you bring that Kia to come pick me, I will rate you 1star. If you like chat me up nicely you deserve one star.

Kia rio is been phase out of Uber, drivers number one choice is corolla.

GAZZUZZ:
There are riders that detest corrola in all forms.

I have a friend with a really horribly looking honda city but he's a wonderful chatty cheerful person with good looks, he has no rating issues at all.

It's not about the car.

Carshopper:
and i have more Kia rio working than corolla that people are selling off

Dovehorizon:
To the automobile juggernauts, do u think hybrid cars can survive on ehailing platforms...
My friend bought a toks 08 camry (hybrid) , 6k fuel took him to imo state and back (lagos). He intends to put it on ehailing platform and drive it himself.

So what do u think

pooozeee:
MORE UBER DRIVERS NEEDED IN MARFA
If you're thinking of relocating to the US then I would suggest you go to MARFA Texas
MARFA is a quiet place with no industries as such it's beautiful and has very low crime rate
MARFA is just like a village but somehow beautiful in TEXAS.
You can easy do your UBER business in MARFA and make a whole lot of money.
More than 85% of people living in MARFA don't own a vehicle so they rely on UBER and LYFT to move around.

sam2kenny:
my main concern is, is it advisable to sign up for a car of 35k weekly rentage

TheCar:
I think they do under accidental damage or theft of the vehicle inside your comprehensive insurance plans.

But the investigation go plenty.

Got to a pick up location now, I ask the rider if I should start the trip she said yes, 2 minutes to the journey the second rider was complaining that my A/c wasn't "cold enough" that that was ow she fought with a driver that took her to ICM the other day that she cannot proceed further. A/c that I just switched on and no rider has ever complained that it is not cold enough. Happened here in CMD. I just ended the trip to avoid wahala. my loss. Or what was I suppose to do?

kentoski:
Ok, I'm just curious cos a mischievous rider can still claim he paid when he didn't just to smite the driver, I'm just wondering how such dispute are cleared, but protecting the driver's is good development.
