The Corolla and 407 aren't in the same category..pls compare with the camry also the toyota parts are more expensive because theybare in huge demand. If you buy OEM Toyota shocks or reputable aftermarket shocks like KYB, you can't go wrong I've changed shocks to kyb and people have used for 2 years without complaining. It's all about how you take care of your car in the end. Of you treat your car right it will serve you. But in terms of reliability and sales the Japanese are number 1. I don't like Japanese cars except for Infiniti, but the market in which we find ourselves is a major deciding factor. Buying a 2006 corolla for 2 million + wasn't what I wanted, but after thinking of long term reliability and tech support I went for the Toyota

Also remember if your Peugeot gear box fails, you will be offline on Uber for 3-5days with a loss of 70-100k Naira plus cost of gearbox/repairs.
The parts may be cheap but I don't want a car with cheap parts and garage visitations to waste valuable time and money.

olaboy1:
If you don't have any experience to share then stop posting.

olaboy1:
Peugeot and volvos are European cars and Europeans who made those cars and their dealerships here all attested to the superior Japanese technology.

This argument was making sense before until you started with your name calling.
I just spoke with my brother now who is a fleet manager in a reputable company and he said Toyota all the way.

Apart from your argument of spacious, size, features for 5 star rating and cheap parts, give us your real life Uber experience (Peugeot/Toyota) driving within the city and not Lagos to Abuja, we are waiting.

olaboy1:
One of the reasons Naija is not working because of back door magomago and zero reliance on public data when people like you see little things such as the price of a car as a big deal.

olaboy1:
No it's not a lame attempt. People are buying cars for the drivers to driver Uber/taxify in Lagos or Abuja and not to run interstate business. If I want to run interstate I know my to go Toyota for that.

olaboy1:
People have asked for price of the Peugeot many times here and nobody in the north has deem it fit to respond to pricing.

olaboy1:
Since you are in the north let us know the price of Peugeot then or is it a secret?

olaboy1:
This thread is about Uber and not Ekene Dili Chukwu tours

olaboy1:
I have used Toyota as an official car in Naija and also a Peugeot, so I think I have some experience.

olaboy1:
Love your analysis, looking around me here in Europe the number of people driving a Peugeot even though it's an European French auto maker compared to Toyota is like 1/10, 1 for Peugeot and 10 for the Japanese car, not minding that we don't need to pay import duty for a Peugeot manufactured within the EU than the heavy duty fee for Toyota imported from Japan, majority of the people still opt for Toyota and I believe there has to be a reason for that.

Also I don't think you are right with size and price comparison of a corolla and Peugeot 407 Naija use.
It's hard to find Toyota gearbox failing compared to a Peugeot anyway. So somewhere down the line I believe Toyota and Peugeot will break even on overall running costs.

Peugeot has been faced out of Nigeria by Toyota, you only find few mechanics that deal with Peugeot, and what is the reselling value, incase you are done with Uber or taxify.

I was also scammed 2 weeks ago by Taxify. Later got an apology mail when I told them they have shifted the goal post during the match.

Laat week of September: Did 40 trips but was not paid later told they have started a new system for October meanwhile they had not sent a mail ref October new progressive bonus and Monday to Saturday was September only sunday was October

Monsur1:
yes but its over 100k

sammie234:
There might be misunderstanding of their messages. However, regardless of their bonuses promised, driving with Taxify has been rewarding. Their 15% commission is bearable.

So I suggest you drive on Taxify with an aim -for a just fare (your fares are not shortchanged) and see the incentive as undeserving (added advantage).

The truth be told if we make any of them (Uber or Taxify) more powerful or important the drivers will suffer it more. So my colleagues don't drop your guards. We are still the boss rolling on their platforms.
