If I may ask...

...does it have to be a Toyota? There are tons of other brands in the world. Seeing as you refer to the Camry as being "extremely common" I would have thought you'd prefer a more individual automobile, which is what promoted my question.

Still, go with what you're happy with, and good luck, whatever you decide.

The avensis 2000 is one of d most rugged cars with fuel economy, reliability, more affordable, lower cost maintenance unique.

Its not competing with camry as its in a league of its own. I own one and parked it for a year without starting the engine, i was busy with some projects so wasn't using it then when I had the need for it I went to the garage where I parked it tried to start it but no response. I thought maybe the engine was dead, I called a friend and explained, he laughed and said I should get new battery.

I removed the old battery and fixed in brand new one, the car just responded sharp sharp. I'm in the high way now cheesy

Please do not dream of avensis. You will surely regret it. Camry tiny light 1999 /2000 model ok for. Considering all the factors you

mentioned, fuel economy, ruggedness, availability of spare parts and affordable, the engine can withstand our extreme weather.

Please i beg you go for Camry, you will get value for your hard earned money. The car is common is a defeatist idea. Go for the best.

Do not forget that ability to maintain a vehicle is the key factor. Good luck

Urmmm, what exactly is so unique about Nigeria's weather? There are much hotter countries, that also experience real tropical thunderstorms and floods, greater than what Nigeria ever experiences.

Camry's the best car? How did you arrive at that conclusion?

As for regret - regret only applies IF one buys a car that they end up not being happy with. This could apply to a Tata Nano or a Bentley Turbo R. Everyone has a different opinion on what car suits them, it may NOT be the same choice you or I would make.

Thanks my chiefs
@ Siena, let us assume for the purpose of argument that I have to choose between the two, I will respect your position. BTW, is the left hand drive of avensis(not converted ones) readily available in Nigeria?
@Bakersfield : u really scared me. Why wouldn't avensis( an old model) be easy to maintain?

have you driven the said avensis before?

have you owned one before?

do you have a close relationship with anyone who used/uses the said avensis?

are you a mechanic?

are you a car dealer?

on what ground should he run from the said avensis?

i just wonder where some people get their facts.

when I bought my 1999 camry pencil, a friend got his own too. same day, same dealer @ kotonu.
fast forward to 5yrs after, my camry is still solid with stock engine, transmision, radiator etc. but my friend's car didn't last one year, he had to buy another.
maintenance culture was the thing.

@ OP, that car is rugged, friendly and everything an average user would need in a car.

There is nothing the Camry will do that the avensis will no do. I like the compact built of the avensis. But beware of converted avensis

I am really not seeing good reviews about Toyota Avensis (Just Google '2014 Toyota Avensis Problems', your jaw will drop). Also, I googled reliability index for Toyota Cars, I couldn't see any mention of Avensis. From reviews, Toyota Avensis has not been crash-tested between 2010 and 2014 (I may be wrong).

I do love the build of that car and thinking about purchasing one but the reviews online aren't encouraging.
