Mini Bus Recommendation Please by ujnwachukwu(op): 3:02pm On Jul 26, 2023
I want to buy a mini bus for commercial purposes but I don't know which one is durable between Suzuki, Mazda, Hijet.
Also is manual or automatic better. Please I will appreciate those who have a first hand experience or knowledge of it to throw light on this

Suzuki Every
Daihatsu

If nah water logged area, Auto over manual because water sips into transmission through the space between the clutch in manual transmission. Effect isn't immediate but accumulates overtime.

Suzuki or hijet depends on your choice,but it seems people prefer hijet in Calabar, although I have Suzuki (in Calabar) with automatic transmission.I gave it out last month to a driver.both Suzuki and hijet have spare parts available.

The auto transmission is not safe either.

I was advised by someone to buy 3plugs that It consumes less fuel than 4 plugs and besides Calabar doesn't have good roads like that that I will be running speed. Though 4plugs runs faster but it consumes more fuel
