Hello house,

I am in a dilemma of picking a 2009 Toyota Camry or 2009 Toyota Corolla, both cars cost approximately the same. Which is a better pick as |I would like to use it for uber.

Kindly state reasons for picking the car you pick so I can make an informed decision. Looking forward to reading from ya'all.

.

For an Uber cab I'd go for the Corolla as it's a bit more fuel efficient than the Camry.

Less trips to the fuel station means more of that sweet, sweet cash money to spend on stuff like your girlfriend's/wife's/random ladies Brazilian hair or MMM

Many thanks @billy187, from my understanding the 2009 camry is just as fuel efficient and the difference is not much. Can this be confirmed?

If your reason for purchase is to be used on Uber, Corolla is your best bet. The two cars are miles apart in terms of fuel consumption. The Camry is a 2.4l 2az-fe while the Corolla starts with 1.6l to 2.0l engine. On Uber, Corolla has a better fuel economy. The difference in fuel consumption of both cars could be as high as ₦10,000 to ₦15,000 weekly.

Also, the Corolla is lighter and compact. If buying for family use, then Camry is the choice.

Many thanks @bravolad the corolla is the winner in this case. thanks for chipping in your opinion.

2009 Corolla mpg

Camry mpg

From my calculations for every 34km the camry would use 1 liter of petrol more than the corolla. That is not too bad although it would be significant if the number of miles is more.

Realistically, u may never achieve that level of mpg in Nigeria. Those figures can easily be attained in Europe, America & Asia where driving conditions and roads are good. A number of factors affect mpg; the quality of fuel, vehicle condition and good roads. To achieve a relatively high mpg close to factory set up, you need to drive on a constant speed of about 120km/h or less for several miles. There's no roads in Nigeria that you can drive for an hour without using your brakes excessively.

Whereas elsewhere in the world with good road conditions, you can drive for thousands of miles while using the cruise control probably set at 100km/h.
