Yaris is a good car with relatively small engine and light weigh body, so fuel consumption is great.

It's a Toyota, so expect the parts to be everywhere.

As for the year, your budget would decide that.
I have driven one of these for two weeks as curtsey car, trust me if you carry four people inside the fuel economy is crap, it will drink petrol more than a V6 engine grin grin grin grin

Now I get your point.

It's just like having 5 adults in a Kia Picanto and driving in a hilly terrain.

Too bad.

There are 2 things I look out for in a car when considering fuel consumption (let's assume everything is factory standard like your Yaris).

1. The total weight of the car.

2. The engine capacity:
a) The maximum toque the car has and at what RPM. It would ensure the car does not need to rev real high to get going of the line (great for city driving).
b) The maximum horse power. Perfect for high way driving and downshift or overtaking.

In a short statement, I will say a car with at least 2ltr Engine.That will do me,

I believe if ur Injectors where dirty it will restrict fuel rather than let too much fuel fru lol
what is your Engine capacity? ie how many cylinder/ plugs??

It's 2.4L 4plugs.
Scanned the car, I was told the absence of catalyst (beneath the car) was the reason.
I searched online on relation of catalyst regards to fuel consumption, I only found conflicting opinions. The car still sucks, drink and swallow fuel grin till now.

when someone claims they scan ur car and give you a result let them also give you the code not just say things cos you Cat converter has no electrical component so there is no way it can be scanned. It is not in any way connected to your car computer so that Mechanic is bulshiting you!

Cat converter has no electronic component? I don't know that though.
Here are the codes, I saw it myself : P0141 & PO135

Sorry for your predicament.
I've been there as well, so I know how it feels.

Before replacing anything. Perform the basic checks (Exhaust leak, nozzles, plugs, intake manifold leak etc)

Those codes relate to o2 sensor and catalytic converter.
Test o2 sensor with a multimeter to be sure the recommended voltage is reaching it. Also check the wiring for faults like partial contacts and wrong connections.

Good luck.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I asked a Panel beater to check my exhaust for leaks, he checked and told me there was no leakage from the exhaust.

Please how do I check the intake manifold leak? Do the Rewire technicians have a multimeter (for the 02 sensor check) or who can I take it to to check?

Lastly, what did you do to resolve your car, was it an Honda accord too?

Bro that has got to do with your O2 Sensors, so do the basics, check that you have no leaks in your exhust system including at the manifolds from start to finish inspect it. then check your 02 sensors wiring, clean if 1st if that do not work means it has to be changed.Try get new ones instead of used ones

your manifold is where your exhaust starts, it is the physical point where ur exhaust pipe meets your Engine body. The check is physical, not electrical once again.

Just so you know, 2,4 is quite a big Engine for a saloon car, anything above 2 ltr is a petrol Drinker.

i have changed the hub, the bushings, and even the shock absorbers

but problem is still there

please what could be wrong, what do i need to do

is there an expert in Lagos that can fix this.

i'm always scared of driving the car for the fear of it throwing me over, or sweeping me into incoming vehicles.

please help

I had a minor accident with my e36 one time and the engine shifted forward, broken engine seat and center bearing. Fast forward to two days after fixing the car, the center bearing broke again. I called another mechanic to fix another one and he told me the propeller is 1cm longer than the clip stud under the car unless we cut 1cm from the propeller, he wont be able to fix it. I need advice on what to do.
