Is there any particular problem with the Hyundai 2007 model? I read the reviews online and it's said to be quite good
In Nigeria context now, any fear. Issues like spare part, technicians for it and all that
A lot of people already saying stick to Corolla 03/04 as d price is close. D Corolla is however a pure water...

Hello House,

My little brother wants to buy Toyota RAV4 2004 or 2005, can someone give me brief details about the car.

Is it prone to vandals and high fuel consumption?

When it comes to fuel consumption the RAV4 does very well, just like other good Toyota cars. Well, the older models of the car have a low second hand value. My friend sold his for less than N1.5m. Generally, the car is okay.

shares parts with Lexus GS, I know the recent Lexus GS parts are pricy, probably this one too. the W202 has cheaper parts though and readily available too.

Hyundai Elantra 2007 vs Toyota Corolla 2007 the battle of the 4dr compact sedan, a message from our sponsors before we begin.
Do you have a large family and you need a car for cargo, fun driving, mild off-road and top in reliability, the new Nissan Xtrail T32, 2.5L 4 cylinder 170hp, 4WD drive with 6speed CVT, HID lamps, HUD interactive screen and computer assist driving ensure your family goes out safe and return in one piece. Nissan Xtrail conquerer of the jungle grin available at dealers near you.

engine, the Elantra has better hp and torque not necessarily better in driving experience to the Corolla as both weren't built for spirited driving
Hyundai Elantra 2.0L 146hp
Toyota Corolla 1.8L 132hp

fuel economy the Corolla with it's 1.8L is perfectly intune in fuel economy.
Elantra 32
Corolla 35

Reliability index, Corolla riding on the popularity it has had several years ago, while the Korean vehicle though fairly new in the pack but a successful all through beating others that came long before it.
Toyota 1
Elantra 4

Parts availability
I will pick the Hyundai here, parts are original and strong too, the Corolla is also solid but if you don't shine your eye well, you will buy more Chinese cloned parts than the real deal.

Technician know how for both is a draw, you will find Hyundai or Toyota part even in villages or less developed community and they are also interchangeable for Hyundai and kia in several models.

Luxury, the Corolla Altis is a high end vehicle and some Corolla 03 to 07 come equipped with 6CD changer. Some Altis have DVD with backup camera and leather seat.

Verdict
the Corolla is a highly reliable vehicle tested and trusted but a robbers magnet and vandals cash cow so always secure it and park in a compound for safety and off course insure it.

The Elantra is good solid and reliable too especially the US Variant with good safety features, doesn't have a good resale value though and doesn't age well compared to other competition.

The TL competes with the GS350, not the ES. It's much better than the ES.
