In my own opinion, the Honda Civic '97 model is the winner here. I offer personally drove that car some two years back and I can tell you that it has better better (among the other two) fuel economy and efficiency, affordable mechanical parts maintenance and overall, nice-looking interior and exterior design.

thanks bro..

Kai I have experience the three cars first hand. The Peugeot seems to be the most recent of them, that car is small for passengers only, Kai, the day I handle that car for 130km/h on kano-jigawa express manual gear Chai Chai. Nah the korope size I no too like

Honda civic European version, guy no need to talk too much this car is bad badder baddest reliable, no leg pull, efficient but it has 1.4L and 1.6L engine, I think it's safer to do the 1.6L engine. This car shares part with the Rover series so no part wahala.

The golf in the pix is a golf 3, I would pick it over golf 4. The 3 is more fuel efficient and the engine is rugged compared to aluminum block of golf 4. Golf too is very stable at high speed but I prefer a manual golf 3 wagon/coupe to the 4 door. But that's me Sha.

Who is the winner, I would pick the civic as its common, fuel efficient, easy to fix and diagnos, comes with enough safety features, the tokunbo is cheap, it has a wagon variant too which could come in handy when dealing with load, finest modern look (stock) among the three vehicles.

The choice is still yours, any one you fancy just pick and smile every morning when driving out.

The 1.6L is good on fuel, I just recommended that due to the more common US civics in Nigeria fitted with that engine type.

The pix you posted is the European version of Honda civic, my own pix is the American version of the Honda civic for that same year. I will advice you stick with the European since it's cheaper. As for the price, my brother I can't say but you should be able to get the European version tokunbo less than 800k depends on the year too.

Check olx and cheki for price range

civic, civic, civic. almighty smallie. the car is the bomb. I currently have the American 97. I would rather keep the car forever or dash someone. The only problem I have had is the crankshaft pulley which resulted in getting another engine. I have used three golfs. 1986 golf 2 syncro 4WD, a monster, sold to an elderly man in Keffi ten years ago I still miss it. and two other golf 3, CL and the GTI. I have only driven 206 twice very very good.

my pick will be in this order
1. civic
2. 206 manual drive.
3. golf
