Corrola Or Camry, Help Advice! by mine85(m): 10:36am On Jul 14, 2021
Between corolla 2000/2001 model
and
camry tiny light 2000/2001 model
Which is more economical, in terms of fuel consumption and cheap parts?

Can corolla run far distance, e.g. East to Lagos.?

I will appreciate honest experienced response! Thanks

For me Corolla is clearly the most economical between the 2 rides. Camry is a more luxurious ride but comes with its wahala of timing belt that can cut 2 times in a year. Low hanging exhaust.

Once I mention Honda,the way people quickly say a big NO. I began to fear. They always mention suspension and costly to fix. Is the Honda Civic really Good?

On timing belt, they said if I get Belgium,it lasts more than a year and Belgium is 10k . For a beginner, which do u clearly recommend

My Honda CRV is 5years old I'm yet to change timing belt. I know corolla owners that have driven their cars for over 7 years without changing timing belt, but I'm yet to see a Camry owner (particularly that year u mentioned) that doesn't have a spare timing belt in his boot grin because that thing dey cut like rubber band. cheesy

I am over 6 feet, will that corolla 2000 model size my legs.

Secondly, can it run effectively from east to delta, Lagos?

Both cars are okay like they said above but watch out for Corolla 1998-2002 model. Inspect thoroughly because that engine is notorious for shortening oil and even with that, it's a good ride you'd enjoy.

That's the same thing they tell me about Honda but my spirit is with Honda Civic 06-09.

That is incorrect, I used dat particular Camry in the past. I only changed timing belt once. I had d car for almost 3 years....but to be honest, I change shocks like no tommorrow grin
