They re both good but corrola has second hand value than Honda.
They re both economical.
Honda legs are too flexible, it'll frustrate u in some Nigeria roads.
Then you've not driven any Honda car if you could say Honda frustrate you on some Nigeria roads

The diff is much.
52 (2.2L engine/Camry) -40l (1.8L corolla) = 12Litre diff....
That's a lot in my opinion for the same journey

In the long run of the usage of the car, you'll still spend more in other areas of that 1.8L car than someone who has pencil light. Corolla engine is about 370k while Camry 2.2 is about 180K. Parts of Corolla of that year is higher than Camry of that year. Consult your financial expert for detailed analysis. You can gain ALL in any brand of car

He can never spend 200k unless he want to change the engine. He doesn't need to change his gear. If engine is not faulty. Civic is his first and only choice here

Abi oo, that's it.
The important thing there is maintenance and being a smooth rider and you will reach your target as a commercial .
The most problem with Nigerian are over hyping of product

You're very funny. Honda very fragile compared to Toyota. Go and do your finding sir. Also, and if corolla jumped up to 1.8m, the Honda will depreciate in price. Sit down there. How much is accord 10-12 model 6 years ago. It has depreciated, right

What's this one saying. How many multinationals use Honda as official car? Even the almighty WHO and UNICEF use Toyota. Government and security agents use Toyota. What do think is the reason?

I sold my civic 08 within 3 days with plead from the buyer. Bought it for 650 Nigerian used and after like 6/7 months sold it off. So, don't say what you don't know sir. Honda have more resale value. If the difference between accord 16/17 models and corolla of same year is 2 million, after 2-5 years usage, and sold, forget, you can neversell with 2 million difference.

Kikikikikiki, that's because a JJC needs a car that suits his budget. Ask WHO, UNICEF and diplomatic missions while they use Toyota. Ask your government and security agents also.

The bolded is absolutely untrue. If everyone considers second-hand value as priority as you've painted, who will be driving those you term not having second-hand value?

Nah poor people dey consider second-hand value as a priority when buying any vehicle. Rich people make their joy the priority.

Go and find out from WHO, UNICEF, red cross et al while they use Toyota. A wise man, no matter how rich hates waste. It's only fools that love waste.

Their choice is not mainly about saving money, there are far more to it than that.

Besides, the update is pointed to individuals and NOT bodies like the ones you mentioned which have many individuals with different choices.

Which age and time are you talking about. Most of the aeroplanes we use in Nigeria are over 35 years and they are still flying. The problem we have in buying Nigeria used cars are the buyers think that once it has been used by a Nigerian then it would have been badly used and the price will have to drop. I prefer buying a neatly Nigeria used car with sound engine for 1.3 million than to buy a foreign used for 2.7m. After 3 years I can still sell my Nigeria used car with the engine still intake and neatly used by me for 1.8m gaining 500k. But I assure you that no matter how careful I used A foreign car of 2.7m after 3 years I will sell it for about the 1.6m - 1.8m loosing about 1million naira. Who wise pass?

Good Morning great gurus,

Please am currently trying to get a car as am planning to start Bolt or Uber as a side hustle, by the special grace of God, but that's not why i created this thread.

I just want to know which is reliable, durable, that can withstand pressure (on the engine) in short better overall between the two cars, personally I have read alot of reviews here from you guys on the both ride, and I am considering getting the Civic, but my friends keep telling me Corolla is the best worldwide grin but then I reply them that the Honda is cheaper and even more beautiful, but they're not trusting the cheap price, some even mock me jokingly that na who no get money de tok say beer no sweet (what is it with the average Nigerian and Toyota sef undecided )

Truth be told, am a bit suspecting and having reservation's for the price of the Honda Civic

Frankly to be honest, am a novice when it comes to auto's

I just want a wider view on both and possibly the advantages one have over the other

Note the Honda is a manual transmission while the Corolla is auto

So I bring my case to the legends over here, what's your take?

Cost o parts replacement

Fuel economy

How rugged they are

How easy for mechanic to work on

Resale value
Thanks
Bro I no care wetin others say ooo. I go advice make u jejeli collect the civic if you want peace of mind. That Toyota is thief prone. You no fit park am anyhow or else na basket you go come meet...... that is if u meet am at all.

For your mind. Na so my brother dey say until I convince him to get civic 2008 model. He don make profit already. Imagine, almost 900k difference between 08 civic and 04 corolla. When I am not insane. How can never buy than pangolo called corolla
You are not an Uber driver, so your emphasis is more on luxury. But when we talk of the dynamics of the job, cost of maintenance, fuel economy, etc, no go dere.
In terms of those parameters, civic is not far behind Sha, but Corolla any day

To me, camry 2001 is more stable than a 2004 corolla on a highway....

And camry has more engine power than a corolla.

So I think this should also suffix for a 1999, because I grade the pencil light and big light as same, except otherwise.

Corolla has second hand value. After using my corolla 2005 for like 4 years. I sold it in 2019. AC not working. Power steering needs to be work upon, no custom paper self grin I sold the car for 850,000.

Guy this you question hard oo , and come put "finally". grin. Well. It's good to compare cars of the same age. The Camry of those age performs better than the Corolla of that age in terms of Power, Stability on high speed, Air conditioning, Interior and spacing.

Camry 1999 can also compete with Corolla of that range except the for the shocks. The AC is better than Corolla of that age, the handling is also good. The V6 and XLE of Camry 1999/2000 beat the Corolla of that age in almost everything. What I did when I acquired Camry 1999 was to replace all the Shocks with that of LEXUS. The experience of the car after that change was second to none.

Camry 1999/2000 is a good car but if you can take care of this 3 major issue the more the enjoyment:
1. The shocks and suspensions - Replace with, Avalon, or better still LEXUS
2. Timing Belt - Get Original Belt and also replace the pulley.

Note: The v6 of Camry 1999/2000 does not have timing belt issue - It uses timing chain.

Thank you.

Arguments about Honda products and Toyota can NEVER end,and its not just in Nigeria,having and still using both brands,Honestly they are both strong and very reliable rides, non has it all,in some area Honda beats Toyota, in some areas Toyota beats Honda,but anyone saying Honda is not a rugged,reliable or strong car,that can compete in almost every dept with the Toyota, has no business in car discussion, and is only making comments from either bias and sentiments point of view or out of total ignorance of NEVER owning or used Honda brand before... #Honda na car o,forget long stories...
