We were not talking about the best cars, Elantra is betterment r than Accent, Compressor is better than C320 and C240

I think you don't know what Kompressor mean, it means turbo charged ...4matic means 4wd .. any Benz vehicle can come with either of this or both or none...

so basically a C320 or C240 can be Kompressor or 4matic type...

I repeat C320 2005 is reliable.

1. Civic is better than Corolla in terms of fuel economy.
2. Civic is relatively cheaper to maintain than Corolla.

This is not to say there are no departments where Corolla doesn't beat any of the cars but just to lay the rest the bolded part.
I don't agree, they are the same in those two, now talk about been rugged, ground clearance, resale value and and total reliability. That's why it's the most sold and most used car in the world. Not just Nigeria. If you don't like the popularity of the 03 - 08 , get the 09 and get a tracker. All cars need trackers these days self.

They are not the same in the two. Civic is more fuel efficient than Corolla. Also, civic parts are cheaper than Corolla.

I'm not contesting which one is better or stronger but only telling there are departments where civic beat Corolla. Even Elantra has better fuel economy than Corolla.

What's your budget. Buy 09 Corrola. Preferably Tokunbo. You won't regret it
Forget Avalon, it looses shape easily, no second hand value, forget infinity, Camry is Ok but it shorts oil over time especially the 07-09 model. Civic isn't bad anyway.Fuel economical
Kai. Your analysis is accurate.
Trying to get an 2008 Avalon. Noticed it truelly loses shape. I think the 2012 model is better.
