Consider other options like Nissan micra, Nissan Sunny, Nissan Primera, Mazda 323, Mazda 626, Mazda Protégé all 2000model or below. These are good cars you can get Toks below N1m too.

Any model year of golf 3 is good as long as it is in good working condition

If you are not sure of a golf 3 design, type 'golf mk3' in Google to view images of what a golf 3 look like

Damolux01:
I get your point. Thanks!

You are welcome.
I advise anyone that intend to buy a car of choice to read about the car or vehicle online before making a purchase. At least that will give you an idea what you are going for. Search engines as Google and Wikipedia will help. You can also download manuals from manufacturer's website or other car websites if available.

It will save a lot of stress of after purchase.
Most people don't even know recommended Tyre sizes for their vehicles, recommended type of engine oil or transmission oil to use in servicing. These are very important for long lasting vehicles.

Diagnosis/Car scanning tools are also a must have for car users using 1996 or newer model vehicles.

Damolux01:
Thanks! You really nailed it. But does this mean that 1.6 would be more fuel economical when both travel on a same distance?

Yeah sure. 1.6L more economical if economy won't be altered by condition of engine or carburetor.

Note: No 2 or more cars are exactly the same in performance. Condition of engine or gear aren't exactly the same. Let me break it down.

No 2 or more 1.6L engine or 2 or more 1.8L engine are the same in performance on the road. Performance are altered by condition of engine or gear, general working condition of car.

People make lots of comparisons neglecting the fact that no 2 cars of same model or different models are exactly the same in performance.

Damolux01:
I think the Golf 3 has 1.4L, 1.6L as well... if yes, what advantage does the 1.8 has over these ones... and again, would you prefer the Manual over Automatic Transmission?

Well, the advantages I coined from transporters are 1.8L engines last longer than the 1.6L, the output horse-power from a 1.8L is more than 1.6L hence the performance of a 1.8L is higher.

Well, I go with either a manual gear or a automatic gear car whichever is available for me. It's all about convenience, budget. Sure in Nigeria, automatic gear cars cost more to purchase than manual gear cars.

Damolux01:
You're making sense bro... This is actually why the topic was created. Yes...some should have gone for less than 800k self if not for the ish with duty and border closure. However, out of the Cars you chose... I think I will give it to a very neat Toks Golf 3.

Very smart choice. Be on a lookout for one with 1.8L engine. Trust me, if you buy a good Toks of it, it will serve you

Kay how's the TT

Really can't say much about a Audi TT as I really don't see it as a common car on Nigerian roads. Hence availability of parts and technicians to fix faults when the need arises should be considered.
If it's a favorite, you should have a diagnosis/scanning tool handy to trace and detect faults for you so you wouldn't have to rely on 'trial and error' kinda troubleshooting of mechanics.
This applies to any other vehicle of choice as long as they are OBD compliant.

Damolux01:
Hi all... it no more a fable that young stars grow day by day as the dream of driving or owing a car fills their mind. However, most people make mistakes of choosing the wrong choices when it comes to owing their first car. Imagine a young graduate with a monthly income of 50k buying a Mercedes Benz, Volvo or Quest. I'm sure you know the implications already. The thread is created as an eye opener for newbies and to as well discuss cars that are durable for these species.
I will list some cars here while Auto gurus can say what their experiences are as regards this cars... Golf 3, Golf 4, vento, Jetta, Toyota Corolla '99/'00, Micro, Nissan Primera, Nissan Almeria, Peugeot 206, 207, 306 and 307, Sunny Nissan, Nissan Micra, Audi, Mazda 323, 626 and Camry '99. One can get all these cars(TOKs) for 1m or less. Now let's give our opinions on them. Thanks!

You'll get a Toks Golf 3, Vento, Nissan Primera 1998, Nissan Micra, Mazda 323, 626 conveniently with less than a million. Trust me, they are good cars for first timers. If you don't think so, then ask transporters why these cars are mostly used as cabs and taxis. You know cab drivers look for ruggedness, efficiency and fuel economy plus relatively cheap and accessible parts in the market.
