Really, Fuel consumption in vehicles are relatively term, what you may consider as fuel guzzler, another may consider as efficient.

But what about a Camry 2.4 i4. Is it really a fuel efficient car in general terms. I mean compared with most other sedans available in Nigeria?

I'm not one to talk about fuel efficient cars, cos I don't give a damn about MPGs, all I need is powers powers and lots of them.

Its a durable mid-sized sedan, it's balanced and very safe, it's good for long distance drives, avoid the I would had adviced you to avoid the turbo models but you're a DIY person, go for the choice you're comfy with.

This image below, is it part of the ' turbo models'... Someone is offering me at 200k, Nigerian used,...

Are the parts available, do they consume fuel, etc

Very rugged car, most parts are tokunbo hard to come by new parts, enjoyed best if you are a DIY person.

This car has no crumple zone, it's better if you are slammed into, if you slam into someone, you will destroy the vehicle totally, I have seen this car hit cars at 60km/h and walk away, same can't be said for those it slammed into.

Also it's made from tough metal, so careful with the body as panel beating back to shape is almost an impossible task.

The rear wheel drive is a plus as the axle is good for carrying heavy load, atleast 1ton so it is rewelded often to a mini truck by those who know its use.

As a Nigerian used, you should hover the price not more than 150k though depends on how clean and who used the specimen you want to buy.

This car is also known as gboyaminu (dust off stress) grin it's a reliable car

It's either you buy a replacement catalyst which hovers around 30k and replace or weld your exhaust straight and fix catalyst defouler to fool the ECU from triggering Oxygen sensor codes

@ bolded, don't allow him try this. Cats are expensive generally ranging from as low as 10k to 500k depending on vehicle. For your RAV4, budget circa 20-30k

Thanks Boss, but how am I sure the cat has not been replaced with such a thing he planned to use by former kazeem? Cos I don't think the vehicle consume fuel.
Besides, what is the likely consequences if he use the 'door net' in the exhaust? Thanks once again, am learning fast!

Door net will gather the carbon from the exhaust and in no distance time the carbon will accumulate on the net and form a thick substance that will cause restriction on your exhaust .Restricted exhaust can knock your engine in extreme cases.
Advice :
1.Leave your exhaust as it is if you don't have money yet to buy the real catalyst
2.Don't patronise " ladipo made catalyst"
3.Flee from that kazeem that want to destroy your engine !

I'd take the Tacoma cos of its more powerful engine, it's more upscale looks and handling.

Also which car/suv would you recommend for a working class woman as an everyday use vehicle?

Thanks
her budget, her body size, her intended everyday usage, her terrain ?
