Recommend oil rating not total oil. Total is just a manufacturer

He is right about Total Oil, this is as recommended by the Car Manufacturer too. If you use any other oil different from the boldly written specification by the bonnet hinges close to the engine fan. Na wahala o

I don't see too many people using this car for Uber. Since the maintaince is cheap, a lot of people would have preferred it, if it was good for Uber. I am just saying though
Nissan Micra, is more economical than the Toyota Corolla, but do you see people using for for bolt? It’s because Most Nigerian minds are conditioned to believe Corolla is the best! Peugeot 307 (manual) would do a better job than the corolla. I can’t say the same for the automatic because I’m not so sure, but the manual is great and has even a better fuel economy. Maintenance is also on the low side. Good handling and performance. “I’m just saying though” ��� BTW, both cars are great.

your eye just open I’ve used 3 in my life time all toks. They are great cars and fuel economy is good depending on the engine type. Stay way from road side mechanics. You don’t do regular suspension maintenance like Toyota . Eventually you will discover that you will break even quicker. Less I forget, except the person planing to steal the car came purposely for the 307, it’s almost impossible to move without it’s key.
Hmmm

I just had to ask because I've heard many people complain about it's electrical issues in fact, I tend to believe what other people stated up there as regards the manual transmission but it will be damn stressful to drive a manual car on bolt or uber.

I dont even like driving at all. I just hate it with passion ...even auto included. I prefer reading at the back seat while my person pushes me everywhere. Ha ba! Manual? Hmmm! A beg, go for another car if the auto of this one is not good.

My question for you now is which car will be more suitable and durable than a peugeot 307 for uber? When you know that peugeot 307 is very economical with fuel because of it small engine and that simply means more money for your pocket as long as the engine is in good condition, and always change your oil when due and trust me you could making 50k every week if you work hard

You mean one needs to work very hard to be able to make 50k in a week?

Too good. I use the automatic transmission and it's serving it's purpose..very rugged for long journey. Just make sure you use the recommended total oil for servicing and I use total quartz 7000, like 14k..the fuel consumption is fantastic. Just don't abuse it and take note of the warnings from the dash board. Don't use a road side mechanical, or any kazeem o..you can reach me specialist recommendation...lion all the way!!!



What about 406 (2000 model) sound engine!. Will Uber/taxify approve it?

OP....this your question hard small. From personal experience I would advise NO if you are just about to acquire it. Just get a Toyota corolla or Camry or Nissan sef.

Wait don't get me wrong o, Peugeot 307 is a good car but not ideal to use 247 as a source of incomeI, have been using my Peugeot 307 since 2008 (13yrs) and this morning I am still going to rock it to work.

The journey so far has been up and down, some moments its the best car in the world, sometimes, I just regret why me. Just imagine last Thursday I was about driving out and the steering was hard, had to spend an unplanned 35k to buy power steering pump. Bros you will make money and spend all the money to repair the car mostly electrical faults like nozzles, fuel pump, alternator, terming belts, A/C will come up etc. As a matter of fact, you need a loyal standby mechanic cos Peugeot can't be repaired by all this Japanese cars mechanic. Dem go cause you serious damages and regrets. I can recommend in Lagos and Abuja.

Talking about engine, e no dey die. Only changed mine this year based on recommendation and I paid 120k for engine, fixing, and oil used.

Road balance: that motor go enter 160km/hr e no go shake.

Car Safety is 100%. You can park your car locked anywhere in d world, except it is towed, nobody can open talkless of starting the engine. E no go work lai lai. Just like Mercedes, Ford, it can't be easily stolen unlike toyota dem.

My submission: If na naija used pls do not buy for personal use talkless of Uber, and if TOKS pls don't use for Uber, u can buy for personal use.

Cheers

This is exactly what those that actually own a 307 says about the car, he will make money then spend it on same car, very useless car moment you stress it
