The reviews did not say the transmission fail, just said they act sluggish.. which might be how they are designed, Elantra are not performance cars.

The way una dey carry the matter like say corolla engine/transmission no dey spoil

One yeye lady just annoyed me this afternoon and I gave her the piece of my mind.. I don't tolerate bullshit.. I drive my own car and on part-time basis but some riders will just feel like like they are doing you a big favor..

wow.sorry about that,but canyou intimate us on what transpired so we can learn a thing or two from you.to get to 5 stars,you have to check your temperament, hospitality, appearance and your disposition.

Don't use just 10 bad reviews out of 100 to judge a car o . Am sure corolla too has its own share of negative reviews. My elantras are from 07 to 08. I only had one bad transmission issue, which might be the fault of the driver. And keep in mind these cars are over 100k miles. I had one car that is over 200k miles when I bought it . Till now the engine is still running fine and ok ,upon the use of Nigeria oil that I use on it .the car has been on uber for a year, no transmission issue at .
At the beginning of my cars, major issue was ball joint are not strong, linkage etc this and that. So I started buying from eBay and after that no issues. And also most parts sold in ladipo are very bad. If an elantra can last six months doing uber, I think the car is strong enough for personal use o.
Am team elantra all the way o .the cars are getting expensive and also it's a fierce competitor for the corolla. In the USA elantra is up there with corolla.. First time in Nigeria in years I saw elantras all over the place. For every five corolla on the Nigeria road, I saw three elantras fear catch me small.. So elantra for me, cheaper and safe from vandalism compare to corolla. And aslo I never had issues with A/C ,compressor, from the elantra at all ..bottom line use the rite oil and take care of the car
Since most people believe that corolla are strong.. They tend to over abuse the car a lot. And maintance is usually highly ignore on the car .. Base on the fact that the car is a corolla, so by the time the car sold as naija used . The third owner might not even get another 1 year out of the car . The car would have been on his last leg o .. I will never buy a second hand use car in Nigeria especially if it is a Toyota car ,especially a corolla..

this is just a review from a website.do you want me to load reviews from other sites too? even our in-house guru has confirmed,"transmission, transmission". bringing the notice of Elantra transmission ish is not to make the owners feel bad,but to be aware of it's limitations and what to expect. also, would be purchasers would be cautious before purchasing.

Waiting for Dru23, Gazzuzz and Carshopper to reply.

If they don't, I understand because it's trade secret.

I believe Chillex8 currently use Corolla, if am not wrong.

Chucsmore is also a Corolla person based on his recent comments.

Toyota Prius in my opinion would be a wrong choice for these business but the expert Gazzuzz was teasing Carshopper sometime ago when someone advert Toyota Prius for sale on these thread. Never know if they finally experiment with the car.

Also whatever you decide, consider the car second hand value if you decide to exit the business.

Would you be able to get good value for the car after use.

Kia product is a No-No for me (ignorant choice), could change my mind tomorrow if I get good fact and evidence that proof underwise.

Cheers

Kia's are a good choice only when bought new.that way you get to enjoy a three year warranty.sfter that make sure to sell off. the parts are expensive and after markets don't cut it like Toyota's and Honda's.í believe they're other cars that can be at par with the corolla.there should be

save for the Corolla,are there other fuel friendly,low budget ,Uber/taxify tested cars out there?the Prius seem the best alternative fuel,but it's not actually a rugged car.the battery on the other hand cost an arm and a leg.

NOETHNICITY:
Yes

low lying piece of shxxt.your original post gave you out as a couch potato that watches US police officers on tv

NOETHNICITY:
So ops, what do you want now?

You want the policeman dismissed, abi?

The police administration will be very stupiddd to dismiss that cop over this pics seen above.

All I see is the woman assaulting the officer.

We all want a police force like USA police, forgetting that such assault on an officer in the US could get one a bullet hole in the head.

I have watched numerous videos of officers in the USA dehumanise pple and sometimes shoot at pple for very flimsy reasons.

I know am not likely to get a lot of support here, but I don't give a Bleep.

your mom will be slapped like this,your sisters will he slapped like this,your daughters will be slapped like this,your wife will slapped like this.aaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeen!!!

Dovehorizon:
Bros, it's not a permanent stuff, I did it for just two weeks.
Secondly, it wasn't about gas for me but the experience and I maintain my car very well.
I have three cars on uber/taxify platform and I intend adding two more before middle of next month and they are not SUV but the regular 04 corolla.
Should I want to take up this hustle as a driver, then I would prefer to use a car not lower than 2012...
2013 corolla, Camry comes to mind, it's just a matter of class for me and the possibilities of meeting people and such cars can do the trick.

That's a pix of my baby.

U are just a fortunate fellow. In transportation, always invest little and cash out early. Don't worry, sorry na your name the day you will get to Oga gazzuzz workshop for regular maintenance. After 4mths on d road, u will never recognize that your SUV. We have tried 2015 Suvs.bros, is not worth it except u wish to drive urself.
If you go orchid road 1mth for rider pick up, bros u go cry.
SUV consumes more gass and u can't get more than 35k weekly even if your car na range.
What of when you wish to expand, will u expand with SUV? Let one stupid driver from Ibadan show you tha way. You cannot be smarter than everyone doing this with ordinary corolla.

you're such a pessimistic and kill joy,you know.so much negative energy.your type should be far from this thread.i smell a whiff of envy

why was it repainted?can you make the VIN available?

Uber partners , take am easy this raining season.. This is time that car owners go hear from mechanic.. Don't be in a rush to put your car on the road or add more to your fleet.. This is the season that drivers will drive car inside flood and engine, shaft, radiator go knock... don't be penny wise and pound foolish o.. Partners don't blame driver during this period, we all have to take responsibility for the decisions that we make as business people o .. Am not saying don't put your car on the road during season, am saying if you do carry your brain along ...

A word is enough for the wise....

dru23,are you in Nigeria?you just posted a real time pics of rain, probably in your Area

bily:
The car is the collateral. It's never yours till you complete your payments. It can be taken from you, if you default.

But it's really a good deal.

Edited.. .

But the vendor part is what is fishy. Imagine if Hyundai NIGERIA will be the one serving your vehicle and the bill is transfered to you/deducted from your earnings.

Also how will the so called daily remittance to a Skye bank account work? Considering most trips will be cash trips.

believe me, there's a catch somewhere.trust banks at your peril

mcadebola:
Its been a long read so far but also Educative. Please i have a few practical questions;


I am based in Lagos but i currently work in the East. I am planning to resign and move back to Lagos so that i can focus on my budding business.

I am planning to start Uber/Taxify on the side......... (I don't have a car yet), so i am intending to take a car on HP.

Of course, I cannot survive on my business yet as its still at its infant stage. Hence me wanting to start Uber.

From experience, do you guys think its a good idea to resign and start Uber?? This is cus i also feel it will afford me opportunity and time to also run my personal hustle

I will quote it anyday anytime anywhere, I've been driving for 15 years and I've not had any major ish, it's God's grace and driving SKILLS

How many drivers are having accidents upandan? Less than 3%

Okay partner will wait say 2 years on ROI, lazy youths wait 5 years doing nothing so anybody can wait. Besides I put it in quote that time driving upandan, that's why partner is not driving the car him/herself or probably doesn't have the energy/strenghth/ruggedness to do it which the driver also brings.

Yes sir, driver brings something, many things. Owner only brings money (car)

I think it's a fair, symbiotic arrangement.one can't do without the other.
