mogbomoya: The brand new car would be better. Thank you ,mogbomoya. It's been hard making up my mind. some say Hyundai isn't as good as Camry. I love the design of the new elantra tho |

Hmmm...tough choice. The new Elantra is lovely, very CUTE, in and out. New design for that matter. Hyundai has a good track record in Nigeria as far as I know, & judging by their models in the last 10 yrs, plus personal experience of a family friend, I dare say, Hyundai is pretty rugged. I believe it comes with a 1.8 litre engine, & I know for certain that its not as heavy as the camry. The camry 2011 is cool. Tho the shape has been around for 5 years, & another generation has replaced it. Therefore its no longer the ''latest model''. Its a camry, i.e. It is rugged, durable e.t.c. It is MAJESTIC. It has a 2.4 litre engine ( for the 4 cylinder) & a 3.5litre engine for the V6. *note the words in block letters in my description of both cars.lol* That said, I believe I'll enjoy a trip from lagos to Ibadan better in the Camry than in the Elantra for the obvious fact that the camry will be more balanced at high speeds than the elantra. & personally, I love acceleration & power. If you buy the Elantra, you may not have anything to do on the car for the next 3 years except regular servicing. If you buy a non-accidented very low mileage 2011 camry toks (shouldnt be hard to get), you MAY also not have anything to do to the engine for a long time, except routine servicing. If you buy your Elantra at Stallion or anywhere in Nigeria, its likely to come with only 2 or 4 airbags. However, they'll have the ''full option'' ones too that come with 10 airbags, but you'll likely have to cough out an extra 500k (minimum) to get that. If you buy a toks Camry XLE, you'll get american specs standard & much more luxury & safety features than the Elantra *i dont know if the camry 2011 has auxilliary audio jack tho* I dont want to give you a straight up advice, coz its your money , thats why I'm simply enlightening you further about the cars tho i'm making a few assumptions here coz I dont know the spec level (GLS, LE, XLE) of the cars in question you r considering. So, if it were me, I think I'll go for a non accidented, low mileage, clean history 2011 Camry XLE (preferably V6) rather than a brand new 2011 Elantra GLS, especially one bought in Nigeria. All the best. & pls update the thread when you make your choice. & if you have a wife & wouldnt mind giving here the car after a while, just buy the Elantra. She'll love it Note that the Elantra is more fuel efficient than the camry, & you'll notice the difference even more when compared with a V6 camry. 4 Likes |

Find out has said it all. U can get 5-10k miles camry that will still be almost new. I will take the 2011 camry if it s XLE. |

Hyundai elantra is cool but it is no match for camry. It is in the 1.8l category viz- corolla, civic, golf etc. Why can't you go for Hyundai Sonata? This ride beats camry slightly. |
Re: Hyundai Elantra 2012 Or 2011 Camry? by sehawale: 6:12pm On Jul 13, 2012 |
@Find Out. U did far more than giving an advice! U just educated me on these two cars. My mind seems made up after reading thru your reply. About passing on the car to my wife later, I am single but my girlfriend even prefers the Camry. I am not minimizing car stability especially at high speed cos i've driven honda civic for a few years. Even when my Honda could do more speed, i got scared to do it cos it felt too light... Thanks once again 1 Like |

sehawale: @Find Out. U did far more than giving an advice! U just educated me on these two cars. My mind seems made up after reading thru your reply. Glad i could be of help bro. I assume you r going for the camry. If you don't mind the extra fuel bill, i suggest you go for the V6. But you have to be careful o. Lol. Coz even in older V6 model camrys, you wont know you r on 160km/hr until you glance at the speedometer. Your engine will be so silent & your car soo stable. I love V6 engines, but as of now, if i wan buy car today, na I4 o. I no get fuel money. When man pikin hammer, ehen, na V6 straight *Infiniti G35 on my mind* lol. 1 Like |

The Camry should be 1.5 times more expensive than the Elantra.For same price you should pick a 2.4l engine over a 1.8l. You are going to pay too much for either anyway, but before you pay for the Camry, better find out if it has a bad history or tampered with. |

sultaan: The Camry should be 1.5 times more expensive than the Elantra.For same price you should pick a 2.4l engine over a 1.8l. Thanks Sultaan. I plan getting the Camry from the US (buy online and get it shipped down). The cost I'm talking about includes shipping and clearing. I intend buying 30,000 mileage, 6-Speed Automatic, 2.5L I4/V6, 2011 XLE. It cost around 17,500USD, shipment 1,500USD and clearing 800,000NGN which should cost like #4M plus service charge. I priced Elantra2012 @ Stallion. The leather seat type goes for #3,995,000. |

Only in Naija will they collect $5,000 US import duty on a 2 year old car. Naija people get too much money.If oil price ever gets to $50, things will be rough for that oil dependent economy. Best deal is the Camry |
Re: Hyundai Elantra 2012 Or 2011 Camry? by GarbaAudu: 3:40pm On Jul 16, 2012 |
Pls, which one is 2.5L I4/V6? I've never heard of one before. |
