Hello Nairalanders, please I need your advise on which of the two cars stated one could go for. someone told me Rav4 is not fuel economy, another person said Matrix always have one fault or the other. Auto gurus kindly advise. Thanks.

Nairalanders am counting on you for your wise advise.

Both cars are good buy for you. What determine the status and durability of your car is how much you commit to maintenance. I am using 2004 toyota matrix. I got it last year May and up to this moment I have not had any major problem with it except my regular 3 months or 4000km servicing. I am also planning to upgrade to 2007 toyota rav4. I will advise you to go for either depending on what is in your pocket. Please, when buying Toyota matrix, make sure you go for Canada or US model and make sure you check the history on AUTO CHECK. In terms of fuel economy, matrix is the best! For my toyota matrix, I use fuel of 2,500 to 3,000 naira every week with the average of 70km driving per day on the highway of Abuja. Best of luck!!!!
