Befor even if am at 30MPH and pedal to metal it will speed up and overtake any car I set as target , trust me now if I pedal ,it will just reach 40MPH or it will be just be looking at me like mumu.

Could be transmission issues, could be a powertrain issue that means your car isn't delivering the power it should. Take it to a technician.

Good Evening All. Please I have question.

U know that situation when u want to quickly over take a car ,, within a short period of time and in a tight place or when u want to overtake a trailer. Then u press your throttle with force and to the end , the can will behave like it's over charged and speed up so quick to give u turbor like speed, I think it is called TurborCharged.

My car can not do it again.

I removed it from Over drive still the same thing what could be the problem thanks .

I really miss that now I can hardly overtake kekebus ,

Toyota Matrix 2004

Where are you and your matrix 2004 turborcharger located?

Check and see that you don’t have cruise control engaged at a lower speed o.

Those Matrix and Corolla can have their CC engaged without the driving knowing as they’re at the side of the steering.

Non. Not even the civic you mentioned.
If you can double that budget, you’ll be able to get the civic or yaris of same year you mentioned.

If you don’t want to avoid premium tears, then go ahead with your budget.

That Nissan may be less than 2.5m as tokunbo even 2m sef, Honda and Toyota of those bracket years are expensive.

From what I gathered online the CVT in this maxima is solid while Altima started from 2013 you are good to go if their is no rust visible underneath the vehicle.

Fighting rust is like fighting your shadow atleast if rust is not evident in chassis then the vehicle is worth it.

CVT can last 180k miles that's almost 300k km on the odometer that's around 20years from year of manufacture grin

Probably your budget can get wagon abi nah hatchback European Honda civic with manual transmission.

Kia Rio or Hyundai accent 05-11 manual transmission

Honda civic US 03 to 05

Your budget is slim because of naira devaluation

Its a sleek looking car,and rare(i hate purewater cars) on naija roads.

But i'm just kinda scared about Nissan cars,i pray you are lucky with yours though.

But if i am to be in your position,i'm buying this car because of its beauty and exclusiveness.

Wagon and hatchback, I don't think they are accepted for Uber or Bolt.

Preferably ATV!

Can we assume all the naija used civic 06-09 around ₦1m especially on jiji is death trap?

Is it a good car? Yes,if maintained well.

For personal use? Yes

For e-hailing? I will say no. Why not go for Honda civic.

ATV is an all terrain vehicle not your regular car just focus on sedan. I am certain hatchback is allowed kia Rio 05 to 11 hatchback is used for Uber.

The 1m mark is okay for the civic if all checks are put in place. Used car isn't trouble free but don't buy a money pit
