Updated .....Hyundia Elantra 07, (2.0 limited)Vs Honda Civic 07(1.8) by lanrexdo(op):
I have carefully narrowed down my search to this two cars after careful studying them both for few weeks and i hope i won't get it wrong because right now all i plan is to get it right with the Recession economy that we will face soon after this whole COVID 19

So i plan to use either one for uber/taxify/bolt only on weekends.

what should i watch out for when purchasing the car?

Note: I am going to be purchasing it as a Nigerian used car due to some financial Constrain.

So which is of them is best to maintain? comfort?

HELP!!

I hav used honda 2003 and presently using toyota camry 03.In my opinion toyota camry 03 is better in all ramification.Starting from fuel consumption and maintenance.And as per fluid,honda engine buttom plate is copper which means it will break if it hit by any strong obstacle unlike toyota .The list is endless.

Since you want to use it for Uber, as a part time Uber driver I can tell you that the Honda Civic will be the best both in fuel economy and maintenance.

If you were a car enthusiast that enjoy driving, the 2007 Honda Accord is the most fun to drive among the three.
Re: Updated .....Hyundia Elantra 07, (2.0 limited)Vs Honda Civic 07(1.8) by lanrexdo(op): 11:44pm On Mar 26, 2020
ThAnks. What about elantra 07?

2007 Elantra is also good for Uber from what I hear from other drivers. I haven't driven one though.

Toyota Camry 03 is more viable actually.
You can't even compare that car with those other ones.
Modified.

Sorry just saw the 'Honda Accord 07' part.
The Honda Accord is better as far as it's 2007 model.

I have only entered Uber once in my entire life not that I drive car all the time I just prefer public transportation as ajekpako.

I have never seen the Accord used as uber

I have never seen the 06 upwards civic used as Uber too.

I have only seen 02-05 civic and the second generation Honda city.

Now out of the 3 options the Civic is the best for Uber on paper less fuel consumption means higher profit which is the main aim of Uber.

I have used the Accord for 10years and I knock it about through flood and bad roads, yes it always need some special attention especially the transmission fluid, power steering, engine seats and leg work but definitely not the shock absorber.

That camry we rock am for school wella an xle with fabric seat Chai grin the front dey always hit ground and don't let me start with bushings, linkage, sway bar, shock absorbers, tie rod etc

Copper? huhNever heard of it and can't believe it.

Just not to leave without correcting you, it is actually Aluminum not copper. The Toyota also has aluminum oil pan so there is no sense to your point. Lastly, it is the drain plug washer that is copper.

On fuel consumption the Civic is exactly like a Corolla. Infact the older 2002-2005 Civic is better than its rival Corolla.

That is a tough one .. From experience the Elantra is pretty ok , but I have no experience with civic 06 upwards.

But if you want to compare 03 to 05 civics to any elantra . I will go with the civic anytime and any day
Re: Updated .....Hyundia Elantra 07, (2.0 limited)Vs Honda Civic 07(1.8) by Advocatesam(f): 9:57am On Apr 05, 2020
Honda Civic but the 2005 honda Civic is better

If you get a good 2005 Honda Civic and regular maintenance is done, hallelujah will also be your most uttered word
Re: Updated .....Hyundia Elantra 07, (2.0 limited)Vs Honda Civic 07(1.8) by lanrexdo(op): 3:59pm On Apr 05, 2020

my own opinion go for Hyundai because the engine is 2.0 and gearbox is CVT which make it faster than civic 1.8 engine not because am Hyundai mechanic but you can see for your self

why not Toyota yaris or Honda city of the same year?

2007 Kia Rio is another very good alternative.

Thing is , you should be looking for the vehicle that give the best (lowest running cost) that can comfortably seat at least 3 people.
