According to the reviews I have seen on YouTube (not by Nigerians), the Honda jazz also known as the Honda fit is a very rugged and very reliable and a fuel efficient car. The main thing that attracts me to the car is the magic backs seats which enables creation of more space for transporting cargos.

I notuced the car is not very popular amongst Nigerians and I wonder why. I hardly see them on Nigerian roads, especially in Southern Nigeria. Is it because it is Honda or is there another reason people are not buying them?

I am aware the car has a low ground clearance which means it may not go very well with our Nigerian pot hole filled roads and badly made speed bumps. Could these be the reasons why Nigerian are not going for them.

Please guys help with answers. I am considering buying one.

Nigerians Auto Market is based on 2 Factors..
Flexing or Ruggedity.
There's no point in having your mechanic number on speed dial because of a car that doesn't give you flexing and bragging rights, that's the naija mentality..

and on the other hand, durability.. if it can't handle the stress of a real commercial purpose car, it's not worth it. It might make sense for Uber, and Cabs, but again maintainance is another thing. In some places like IB, you will see Motos, not cars anymore but motos that you wouldn't belief will start up and still raking in at least close 30-40k per week.. and low maintenance..

For profit, it must be rugged enough, have 3rd to 4th hand value and most of all low cost maintenance. And for flexing it must be elegant with a Bleep you headlights attached..

As brilliant as innoson innovation is, the brand has not been considering this factor. Even their luxury models, still doesn't carry weight that much.. because it makes no sense buying a 200million naira Benz, when Innoson has the same style and model for the original product line price and without the hassle of custom duty and all those nonsense.

Too expensive for it size. Just like corolla. The only thing and advantage of corolla is over hyped

Safety no too dey assured with 2-door cars in the event of a collision. This is why it is commonly called "one-door" cars.

If you had posted a picture of Toyota Crown it would have been better.
I still wonder why the Toyota Crown is common in Nigeria roads
