- The 2002 - 2006 Corolla is the most popular car in Nigeria at the moment and it's not surprising.
There are a number of reasons why this car is at the top of the chain, and Motileke talks about all of that in this video.
These reasons have made it highly sought after and made the price skyrocket in turn. Join us on this ride. #234drive #toyotacorolla #cheapcars

One day I booked a ride and the driver pulled up with this corolla. When the journey started I was hearing lots of irregular sounds coming from different parts of the car.
As someone who loves cars and knows alot about cars. I was picking out the different sounds one after the other and telling the driver; it’s like you have a bad this and that in your car.
He felt so unbothered and said, it’s been like that for a year now I never get money to go fix am.
Like, these bad parts that’s causing the sounds in this car would keep a Lexus or any other car grounded in the mechanic.
But this corolla kept running with these problems.
Even as at 2017 you could buy this car foreign used for 1.7m Naira.
This is the strongest car I've ever owned. Fuel economy is perfect, almost any mechanic can fix almost every problem you might have with this car.
The only only issue I had with this car is that the interior is just too small. Besides that this is one of the best Toyotas ever made.
That’s definitely the reason why it is so expensive
that same 1.7m is the duty clearing for port now🤦🏼♂️
Practically the most rugged, easy to use and stress free car toyota have ever made
Yepppp I agree
Toyota had Nigerians in mind when they built this car. It’s an absolute life saver.
Absolutely
I own a corolla Altis bought it from someone. it has a 1.6 engine capacity and the fuel efficiency is crazy.
Great video.
Where's Cranck???
Thanks for your comment.
Crank is alive
Corolla and Highlander should be called "e no dey die"
I know right 🤣
Land cruiser is that guy they sent to hell but always come back like nothing happened
Highlander and Corolla are cheaper to maintain 🤷🏽♂️
@@fashinaelanozizujohn3436 my point precisely they don’t break down
Toyota Mistake
Please can you do Toyota matrix review
We would
Do a review on the Prado
We would
@@234drive thank you.
Wallahi e reach to ask...
Small car like this big money.
It has a high resale value
Naso we see am o
Can you review Audi A4?
We would see to it
Can you compare this with 8th Gen Honda Civic?
We would do that soon
The exchange rate is one of the reasons for that..
Review hyundai elantra
Bought mine tokunbo in 2018 at 1.7m, sold in 2023 for 2.4m
Bought mine .1.180. hoping to sell for 2.5m very clean. 😅
@@AutoNaija it will sell, if it can pass for tokunbo with a little clean up, that was how mine was
Lmaooo what!!!
Nice. I bought mine niaja used #800k in 2015, sold it 2023 for 2.3M though the car was well maintained.
Can you review the Honda Civic. I think that car is super underrated
We would
But I heard it's automatic transmissions are problematic.
The 8th Gen Civic is the real deal. From '08 to '11... That car is more fun and has a peppier and more durable engine than the Corolla.
@@emexnd2271 how much is the 2010 Honda civic now ?
@@cryptoelai4380 a good one is now well above 3m
For Ghana it's the Toyota vitz (right hand Yaris converted to left hand ) 1.3 ltr car that takes any condition thrown at it. It's price keeps going up and never stops 😅
We need to come to Ghana for that
That's a lie. The corolla is still king in Ghana. It ticks all the boxes. I have travelled once close to 700km in this car and it never gave me iss.
You be the judge @234drive Ghana can't wait to see you
Bro 2003-2008 not 2001-2005 and also that price you mentioned for the engine is overhyped
The price is not more than 500k
I have the 2005 Corolla S and bought mine few months back for 4million naira
WOW and it will keep going up
I bought the 2006 Corolla S this January for 3.8m naira as against buying Lexus 330 saloon.
Best decision I made this year!
Tell us about the 2009-2011
We are waiting for review on this
We would do that subsequently
It's actually 2009 - 2013
I currently use this car. It is currently the most popular car on Nigerian roads.
By the way, it is actually 2003 to 2008 not 2001 to 2005.
The reason I an many others like this car is because it doesn't develop issues like some other cars and it is VERY CHEAP to maintain. If you get a well maintained version of this car and you continue to maintain it well, the car can get to 500k miles and beyond.
You are very correct in all your points.
Some other cars are very good in some areas. For example honda civic has a very good engine but it is not very rugged in some other areas whereas the toyota corolla 2003 to 2008 ticks all the boxes. Toyota made this car to last and last.
However, a few things I don't like about this corolla are:
Lack of ABS
A little awkward seating position. The driver seat is not well optimised as in some other cars.
Drumbrakes at the back wheels instead of disc brakes for all four wheels.
Aside from the above, the car is very good. That is why it is the number one car on nigerian roads.
Thanks for the insight
The facelifted version got the ABS system.
For the brakes, what exactly do you need rear brake discs for?? The vrakes work just fine. Even the next gen Corolla has brake lining and not disc.
@@stephenogon1905 I don't think I have seen a version of this car with ABS. Perhaps you are referring to the toyota corolla Altis. For the drumbrakes vs disc brakes, disc brakes seems easier to maintain.
Crank please do a review on murano
We would do that soon
Speaking as a user...the car is just over hyped truth be told.
Wow, tell us more about That
Overhyping kee that car... It's just Uber ppl that promote that car seriously. It's fuel efficiency doesn't reach civic 2008 and civic engine last longer, moreso civic is 5 speed automatic gear.
I have people that have this car and their experience is not overboard. You top oil after some miles. It's not a car that loves travels... For city drives you may not complain about it's handling.
It's awesome car but to me, it isn't very special
@@azeezseazey5305p
To be honest you didn’t really mention why this car is this expensive, talking about more than 1m naira for custom duties on a 2001-2005 Toyota Corolla is too much and most dealers aren’t even bringing them in anymore despite how cheap they are to buy in the United state as cheap as $1500 or even less and then clearing for that huge amount is ridiculously annoying and discouraging and not good for business also
Hmmmmmm
I weak for my country. Nigeria is the one country where cars appreciate in value, why?
Because we keep buying
And to be honest the sport version is fast, the overdrive Gearbox makes alot of difference.
90 percent of people will say they are all the same 😂
Na lie, the America spec Corolla sport with overdrive Gearbox boost like its a real sport car, it can keep up with most V6 and even use dem shine for road 😂
Mine is 2007 American spec with this overdrive Gearbox, it's fun to drive especially when you have to speed up the boost go shock people when the traffic says go 😊
I think you are saying this because most V6 you've competed with don't really want to race with you or probably they are old V6 that has low horsepower... If you drive ordinary V6 Camry muscle or just try any German car with good horsepower, then you will really know Corolla sport doesn't compare at all. I used to say similar thing until I drove German machines. My brother those machines are like jet.
And most of all, at high speed say; more than 120km/h, Corolla isn't firm on road again.
@@azeezseazey5305 most v6, including big daddy v6, sienna, 4 runner.
I have traveled and compete with these cars and I know what am saying, very few does above 100 miles per hour and even at that you won't keep it long because of road conditions. As long as we are within 110 miles speed range, my Corolla will Keep up, I too go like that boost,
The Corolla S isn't a fast car. Ordinary Honda civic of the same year will use your Corolla wipe floor. Those v6 you're talking about don't know you were racing with them. The only Corolla that can race a v6 is the Corolla XRS sold only in the USA in 2007. Your Corolla S is a slow shit box.
Hmmmmmm, overdrive actually makes you go faster
This car is rated for about 120hp.
How do you think it can compete with cars with 2x and 3x that HP?
Toyota cars are so expensive and have less features compared to other cars.
Now we have good reliable cars too with more features for lesser amounts too. To get a good Toyota with good features, then one will spend 5 million Nigeria naira for a fairly used
Which one can one get under 5 million but better than toyota
@@tosin8830
Go for Lexus products. IS 250 or Es 350
I no fit use that money buy this car 😂😂😂
Why?
Be like Toy car
Bro I have this car and buying a clean and good one will save you a lot of money and peace of mind. Extremely reliable and rugged. You won’t waste money on fuel, even on parts. Bro it’s crazy o, easy life and the car will always start and problem free, extremely reliable it’s the reliability and the added benefits that’s the selling point of this car. I also like the civic and the Mazda 3
Buying any good and clean Toyota will save one a lot of money, not just this Corolla. This car is just extremely overrated in my opinion, a 20 year old car for 4m!
Motileke beeeeek !! 😎👉🏼👉🏼
🥂🥂🥂
This car will reach 5m by the end of the year
Yeah, that’s what might happen
I'd rather keep my 8th gen Civic...
Better fuel economy
Peppier and more durable engine.
More fun to drive and toss around corners.... just a better car overall.
This Uber Corolla is sooo overated.
Too overrated that's why the thieves love it
Most overrated car ever
You could get it for 1.5m back in 2010
😅 that’s what our country has caused 😭
This car is a whole lot overrated. I call keke on 4 wheels because it lacks 20 years of advances car technology. I jejely opted for a 2010 Camry, I consider that a much better value for money.
Fair point, the 2010 Camry compared to this is better value for money
Good watch..
But N1,300 petrol for 100km? Lmao.. Looks like you made this video when fuel was 170
The brain box they stole the brain box of the toyota corrola model parked on my street
They are always stealing parts from this car, yes!
Nigerians move on….. Over rating of this car has made it stupidly expensive.
Very soon in 2050 some of you will still expect people to buy this car
Most people are just buying it because of fuel. I don't like it
It’s a life saver
Mine sucks fuel like crazy
This car is not fuel efficient like the hyundai elantra from 2010 to 2015 Go and verify you will know want i am saying.
You guys are not doing us the followers good at all. I have been begging for Lexus Es300 review since but all I could get from you guys is promise and fail. It's not good oh.
😅😅😅 we would deliver in a bit
Instead of buying that shit box car for N4m, I'll buy a BMW x3 xdrive for N3m and keep N1m for the maintenance. I don't like the design of this particular Corolla.
Hmmmm what don’t you like about it ?
Small interior, thief magnet, I cannot part this car in peace. Too easy to pick. 5mins brain box. 10mins; lights, and power windows, 20mins; starter, dashboard and radio, battery, coil, injector, fuse box all gone. 30mins; engine will go too
I do not like this car and I'll never use my money to buy a thief's property 😊
I hate the car and you should too
The timing is too accurate 🤔😂😂😂
