bily: I support that Kazeem part wella. Today's car have moved past Kazeem skills, but thank goodness we have the likes of Gazzuzz springing up and restoring hope in Naija automobile eco-system. Kazeems can still be used for oil change though, but definitely not for serious car diagnosis. Guys let's step up this car debate a little further with real life facts. 1. Let's match classes of cars for Uber use e.g camry year/engine capacity vs Peugeot year/engine capacity 2. Purchase price toks and Naija use 3. MPG (fuel consumption) 4. Resale value after 1 year I believe this will help both partners and drivers decide which car is durable on Naija roads, maintenance/fuel cost, car depreciation value and duration to recoup investment. |

kingreign: Mr. bros, if you follow intelligently, you will see that the point of argument is not luxury. We are talking about engine strength and reliability here. I can decide to upgrade a Volkswagen beetle with all the luxury I want. Better still, meet the manufacturers, they can easily give you a customized edition to your taste as long as you can pay. I believe a lot of automobile manufacturers have had to compromise rugged, die hard, yet easy-to-maintain Engine models for luxury and eye-catching models ( all dictated by consumer taste which is tending more towards luxury) |

toyclicks: Juliet, calm down, you should know peugeot ranks amongst the least reliable automobile brands side by side with daewoo and free lander. Your pijo is wacky wayward and stupid. Good examples are 605, 607. For durability and reliability, contact Japanese brands like Toyota, Honda. Their engines even power free landers and speed boats ![]() they're known to outlive their owners if properly maintained. 2 Likes |

My opinion on Peugeot is that my former company had many of 307 and they didn't do well at all compared to the same level of Toyota cars bought along side the 307. The Toyotas were sold after 4-5yrs company usage policy whilst the 307 were no where in existence during the disposal of the toyotas. Now I am not condemning anybody's choice of car as car manufacturers may have stepped up the game in newer models to fix some known issues, so I have no idea how 407 is faring. I have two close friends who bought the 407 in Europe and it didn't end well, one of them had gear box problem and the other one has some mechanical problems also and apart from the mechanical problems he lamented it was difficult to sell the car even before any faults. Market value and time to sell a Peugeot can be dicey. I shall see if I can get like 3 companies fleet data to help us understand the total maintenance cost breakdown of Toyota vs Peugeot My research so far using fuelly.com on MPG of Peugeot 407 2008 model is in the link below http://www.fuelly.com/car/peugeot/407 7.1L/100km http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/corolla 7.6L/100km Peugeot doing better MPG with a 0.5L/100km differential. lets say you have a Naija used Toyota 2008 (1.7m Naira) /Peugeot 2008 (1.5m), I would fly with the Toyota even with the 200k Naira price difference...that's my opinion. 2 Likes |

i dont understand the argument. a corolla is more expensive than a 407. a corolla is smaller than a 407. a corolla has less features than a 407. a corolla's shock absorber is more expensive than a 407. a corolla's ac compressor is more expensive than a 407. a corolla's engine is more expensive than a 407's a corolla's gearbox is more expensive than that of a 407. a 407 will get you more 5 star ratings than a corolla. a 407 is more comfortable. a 407 is faster. a 407 is cheaper. a 407 is sturdier. brand new parts are readily available and less expensive than original brand new corolla parts. the lighting system is better. the engine is 100k. the seats are more comfortable. ogunvic has been driving his 407 since february. he has never changed his shocks. car has travelled to abuja over 5 times to and fro in that period. car travels to ife and back monthly. he still makes above 400k on average driving on uber monthly in that period. what exactly is the argument? 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Romeo3: 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. https://www./m/ad/neatly-used-toyota-corolla-2008-ID15TAX5.html?code=76d71a01b5 https://www./m/ad/peugeot-407-very-clean-ID15RxSh.html?code=fe489234c5 |

we have left uber/taxify matter to start arguing toyota peugeot? No one is posting earnings again? As a mechanic and one who has owned both brands, I can tell you about peugeot and toyota from a stand point of experience. Toyota corrola 2003-2006/7 : wonderful piece of japanese technology. Lets see some of its good attributes. Ground clearance: Very adequate for bad nigerian roads. Suspension: when a corrola that was used well comes into nigeria @ less than 100,000miles, it most times (if not every time) still has the stock CV joints, ball joints, wheelbearings, swaybar links and bushings, and struts. The only parts that would have been changed on a clean titled corrola at that mileage would be brake pads(front) Now after using for about an average of 20,000miles in nigeria, the common parts to fail on the suspension are swaybar links, sway bar bushings upper strut mounts (total about 20k), . I shit you not, those struts hardly ever fail, and are rock solid if stock in my many years in this line of work I have only replaced the rear struts 2wice. Engine: unlike the camry 2az-fe that is plagued with the oil shortage issue, the 1ZZ-fe engine is built tough, I have seen stock engines run on 5w30, full synthetic @ 280,000 miles. If a user can be diligent enough to follow manufacturer specification on oil weight, and also use high quality full synthetic oils, I am sure the 1zz-fe will make it to as much as 400,000 miles without issues. Transmission: same as engine. Air-conditioning: A/c systems are not designed to run perpetually, like every other part on a vehicle exposed to friction, the A/c system requires a flush and a service at certain intervals to ensure it keeps running fine. Unfortunately a greater percentage of corollas that enter into the country come with front impact which means the a/c system requires some form of work. Trust naija a/c techs, they know how to manage for africa, they cut corners in every possible way by installing wrong parts, and not following proper repair operations. E.g system should be vacuumed and compressor lubricated with ND8 compressor oil preferably synthetic if system has a gas leak sadly 99per of a/c techs do not have a vacuum pump, and they like that 300naira bottle of compressor oil. Another example, system should be refilled with 550g of refrigerant. Most a/c techs do not have a scale or a pressure gauge so they either over charge or under charge the system. The air-conditioning of the subject vehicle when stock, or maintained properly is extremely rugged and fault free. Common parts that fail, cooling fan, compressor clutch. Exhaust system: the catalytic converter burns out at about 120,00-150,000 miles. The exhaust system is solid and not prone to leaks unless you buy a flooded vehicle. Interior: bland and very basic. Security: easy to steal if you come with the right equipment. The steering I not so easy to unlock, but as I said with the right equipment.... Parts: every part is available in the market. The most expensive single part is the engine, which hovers for about 180,000-230,000 depending on source and condition. 2nd hand value (fantastic) if well taken care of, you could get almost 85per vale back after using for a year without major damages. Other good pointers. Can be worked on by almost any technician, very basic in design. In summary: small sprinter, very economical, excellent value for money, good handling at decent speeds, easy to fix with very little mechanical knowledge. Next review, peugeot 407. ![]() 9 Likes 1 Share |

Romeo3: 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. |

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. |
