Honda Civic Or Hyundai Elantra by madgoat(m): 11:45am On Apr 19, 2020 |
Car gurus and sellers, plz which is the better option to buy in terms of fuel consumption, maintainance costs, available of spare parts and all other things generally speaking? Also i noticed i hardly see Honda Civic cars for sale online, is it that the car does not have good resale value or people just avoid buying it? Your advice/opinion is needed. Thanks. Honda Civic 2006/07 or Hyundai Elantra 2007. The car will be mostly for driving within the city to and from work but occasionally used for traveling out of the state. 1 Like |

Most Civic owners don't like selling their cars. They have this nostalgic feeling when they remember how the car has served them 22 Likes |

madgoat:as for me, civic is way ahead of Hyundai elantra and when it comes to travelling and using it within the city, you will enjoy it very well if its bought as Toks and also remember to check the VIN history also. I delivered one to client in akwa ibom few years ago and he hasn't called me up till date that the car is giving him headache though i am the one that sends engine oil and oil filter every 3 months. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Driven both cars. Both are unreliable, unless bought “brand new”. Not TOKs. 3 Likes |

I haven't used a Civic before, but currently I'm using an 09 Elantra. The car is really nice, reliable and very fuel efficient. I've had no issues since I got it other than the normal routine maintenance. It's very Economical also, last month I used 3k fuel from Asaba to PH and still had enough left. Mine is a manual transmission though. Just do your due diligence before buying. 6 Likes |

chillex8: But Ford Mondeo , an American car is reliable for uber ![]() Even in the USA people rarely use American cars for uber.. American SUV or pick up trucks in my own opinion are strong for naija road ,engine wise could be debatable...... Funny thing I have never bought or driven an American car especially for personal car... in life never say never ,but for now I have no interest... 2 Likes

chillex8: Funny enough, At early stages of my ehailing business, I had an 07 elantra, tinted blue in color, when I bought the car it had over 200k miles on it ,I sold for 600k to another driver , it had " suspension " issue according to my former bleaching manager... He advice me to sell it ,and he said he will get me a buyer for it .....but that car was strong.... When it comes suspension, elantra might not be very strong compare to civic or Corolla.. But the engine is has good or even better than Corolla.. Keep in mind the elantra was design and built to compete with Corolla... Hyundai cars has come a long way and it has become one of the top selling brand in the USA.. I will pick a civic or elantra over any Ford cars anytime, anyday And also one of my old civic 03 , had 248k miles when I sold it. .... Ps .. At one time in the USA , Honda cars were one of the most stolen cars .. Due to their strong engine , in fact blacks and especially Hispanic -Americans use to steal the civics, especially the prelude at that time to modify the engine and race with them .. No civic or Honda cars were safe at any neighborhood at that time.... Gosh , I remember those days like yesterday.. Cops use to chase those Honda cars up and down due to drag racing .... Am still having flash back ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

dru23:You're probably right. Mine is strictly for personal use but I've seen a lot of guys that use Elantra (07-10 model) for Uber, it's a strong car and I'm sure it will handle that very well. 1 Like |

bendovex: Yes it is strong car , but with uber business you have to consider durability, price, maintenance, parts, resell value, before you decide to get any car for the job ....So for me personally civic fits in those things I mentioned, apart from the resell value... but in life you can't have it all, you have to give up something to get something else . You have to have a trade off 1 Like |
