That guy lie just make my slippers go hide!
I've drive both cars and corolla is more fuel efficient than the V6 Lexus.
The Lexus has got raw power though. Corolla dey learn for speed.

It's less fuel consuming.

Nine years ago, I paid 2 million for a 2005 Corrolla. I think paying three million for the same car nine years later is not crazy at all.

That stupid car that looks like I am driving Keke napep. I sold it off and focus on my 2009 Honda Accord.

Apart from the stupid mentality that it's not consuming fuel(which is a lie) there is nothing special about that car. My V4 Honda Accord save more fuel than that Corolla.

I drive both so I know what I am talking about.
Bro, can you please tell me more about the HONDA ACCORD 2009? The maintenance tips and co. Honestly, the overhype about Corolla is pissing me off too but I'm just a bit skeptical about the Honda and the 'leg pulling' issue.

A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:

Toyota Camry
Toyota Highlander
Acura MDX
Nissan Pathfinder
Honda Accord
Etc

It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.

But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.

In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion

Toyota Corolla 2005 model is available for 3m.

Very ugly car, I can't even buy it for anything. The interior is so poorly finished. I still prefer my 07 Hyundai Elantra to that Corolla. If you don't have money to buy fuel then you have no business owning a car. This fuel consumption nonesense has to stop.

You juwt buy a new car, 99% of the question is, hope the car no dey cjop too much fuel? If u can't buy fuel please sell that car.

Moreover not only Corolla has good furl efficiency, there are cars with better fuel efficiency.

Dash me that car, I will sell it and buy another car.

Ugly car
See frustration lol
Take is easy bro, corolla is not human
No be corolla fault say most people love the car.

Drone! Drone! Drone!

There are lots of wealthy people in a Nigeria.
whit this level of insecurity, how come we still do not see drones flying over our heads in big cities? . so if you have some little money and you think of securing your perimeter alone, am sure by now everyone have come to realize that's not enough.

I think individuals should consider buying drones, I believe this will scale down criminal activities a bit.

I believe most criminals want to remain unnoticed but if images of there hide outs and criminalities are put out continuously this may serve as a heads up to potential victims.

Please if you can afford a drone get one fly it around your neighborhood see what's going on around the shanties at the major bus stops, make videos of characters you see, put the videos online.

I am sure we have a lot of smart people on here, I may not be that intelligent to discuss this idea, but can someone else do justice to it ?
You get the idea!

Let's just try to use technology to our advantage.

I am not a car expert or guru but all I know is u won't regret using that particular Honda. If u buy tokunbo, enjoy without any issues but if u buy Nigeria used, just pay attention to the suspensions and change anything making noise in the legs. Mines has never pulled leg while driving o and I use it rough for our bad road.

Pls what's the consumption rate of fuel for a 2012 toyota camry? On a half tank, I drove from Gwagwalada to Kubwa outskirts and back and the fuel was as good as finished. Full AC o! Is this ok?
I don't really know much about 2012 Camry fuel consumption as I don't use one. But it is not too bad. Gwags is kinda far from kubwa
Re: The Crazy Price Of Toyota Corolla by Hybrid600: 10:07am On May 08, 2022
You sure say that your Camry no be V6 engine?
Driving habit could be another factor why the fuel burnt out fast
Or bad fuel that burns quick.
Even if it's a v4 engine, there is something definitely wrong with the car's fuel system. Coz on half tank covering that distance, it shouldn't even get to quarter tank.

I own a Peugeot 307 and I tell for a fact that corrola doesn't come close to it. In terms of fuel economy, availability of spare parts, the 307 is top much. Nigerians are just wired to Corolla because of how they abuse vehicle. Every car is good. Maintenance is key to enjoying a car. I even laugh more when people compare Toyota to Peugeot 406. Have you asked yourself why they use 406 as pilot 1 for long distance journey? Enough of this Corolla madness.

I hear say those vehicles no like to enter water. Na true?

In my opinion, when it comes to Honda Accords, no point managing a problem.
Service the car when it's due
Change ball joints the moment you begin hear that "kakakaka" sound when you cut in full to make a u- turn.
If you really wan enjoy Accord, be sure to buy direct tokunbo to experience real peace of mind. grin

The distance is quite far but for it to finish gabadaya shows there is a problem or he drives a V6 engine spec Camry.
Even V6 no go enter red light like that.

9yearw ago you were ripped off my guy.
In December 2018, someone bought 2 units of corollar ( not sure the year) @1.8 per unit. I ended up buying a Camry for 2.3 and a year later bought a lexusrx300 for 1.9 . This is in a toks car yard in Benin with full customs.

So how did your buy a Corolla in 2013 for 2m undecided

Corolla is over hyped, dull,unsafe and uninspiring piece of ugly metal that is littered all over our roads.
It's the band wagon mentality of Nigerians that made the car expensive, Nigerians like to copy others without any assurance that what they are copying will favour them.
Same reason every corner of every street is filled with POS operators.
Same reason every parent want their children to be Doctors or lawyers.

Nigerians are mentally lazy to research any product, scheme or brand they want to commit money into....this is why Ponzi people are cashing out big.

The only condition that a Nigerian needs to do a thing is if someone has done it before.

Corolla will continue to be over priced as long as we have brain washed people with no ability to think for themselves.

The annoying part is that the drivers of this abomination of a car now behave like that proverbial butterfly that thinks itself a bird.... imagine a corolla challenging a 3.0l engine vehicle to a race.

Corolla is the most useless car angry
U are very right, Nigerians, majority are lazy mentally to research and band wagon effects is the main issue
