I don't know about the parts cost but for simplicity Toyota is best...
Peugeot will serve u but if it fault start na gbege..‎

The comparism isn't fair sha.A 406 should be compared with a Camry or Avalon,a corolla with maybe d 306 or 307.
The 406 is a very nice car,stable at high speeds,good ground clearance,cheap parts,spacious,strong suspension parts but unfortunately Nairaland gurus seem to hate Peugeots.
Personally used one for 5 yrs from zero miles and d only problem it had thruout d period was an incident of spoilt ECU and misfire originating from one injector.Never experienced d oft claimed electrical wahalas which our resident car talk ogas accuse Peugeots of.

The only good thing I know about d corolla is they claim anybody including a bicycle repairer can work on it.The parts are even costlier than that of d 406,very weak suspension parts,light like a paper kite on d highway .
Then U should also remember you will be within the gunsight all d armed robbers and car thieves in west Africa if U decide to use that corolla.

First of all, the corolla uploaded is from 2003-2007 and not 2008.
Corolla in general is best known for their low fuel consumption and are reliable.
Peugeot 406 on the other hand is stronger in terms of mechanical parts, cheaper parts compared to the corolla, aesthetics is better than that of corolla and also more comfortable. Corolla is lighter than peugeot when driving at high speed.
If you are looking for a car to use and then sell, corolla will be your best bet Cus of its popular demand

diportivo:
I want to be biased here

I have used the d9

and I can comfortably say "thunder fire corolla"!!

fuel consumption even beats the corolla sef....and dats from personal experience

parts prices nko......I say " thunder fire" corolla again and again


but,sometimes what appeals to u is more important that what others think

test drive both

whichever tickles ur fancy,go for it

both cars are okay

georgecso:



I like your analysis and contribution.... One key feature you have mentioned about 406 is the good suspension quality.. I don't know why most car gurus hate Peugeot though...

Readonee35L:


Toyota has lots of problems which people will act like it doesn't exist because of their mindset that it's a good car.
From
burning oil
Sludge in engine.
Poor build quality .
Timing chain noise / vvti issues on their 4cylinders 2az and Co.
And some other issues. I cant mention.

The cars are not that bad and if maintaimed most of the he issues can be avoided.

But it pains me when people praise the not so perfect because of previous glory.

The peugeot is not a saint and I love it because it's not claiming to be a saint.


Goto ladipo and see the number of 2az fe engine people
buy everyday .
Even the transmission.
Shocks
Stabilizers
Linkage .

The parts of the most reliable car is even the best selling lol.

If you decide on buying 406. I have one for sale. Contact me if u are interested

georgecso:
I have made of mind... Lion all the way.... Car sellers please post the pics of 406.. Automatic

MusaDanladi1:
Personally I will pick the Peugeot 406 a million times over that shitty Toyota corolla. If you decide to get the Peugeot 406 get the Peugeot car scanner and have a little background in electrical engineering or how to troubleshoot electrical issues and you should be good to go. That toyota corolla na thief magnet.

0taPiaPia:


“Thief magnet” exactly my fear with that car. I have personally witnessed two raids in which as usual the brain box and door control were gone and I will have to replace the shattered glass too.

Again, can a 406 easily be resold ?

2004 406 without a second thought.

mammanbawa:


Sometimes, I wonder what people refer to as "reliable". Is it a car that has the most sought after parts, crappy suspension and terrible handling? Of course not. Op, you should know what you want in a car, but I don't think the d9 lion has anything you want absent (tremendous fuel economy , wonderful handling, stability, speed and aesthetics to mention a few). Of course it has its bad sides and that's natural. I'm a proud owner and I tell you it will never be a regret buying the lion. Cheers
Picture: the lion in its sleep
