Guys, I am in a dilemma between which of these 2 brands I should purchase.

My thoughts on Toyota Corolla 2003/2004
I love the outer look
I hate the interior, it is ugly
It is cheaper to maintain and perhaps the most reliable car maker is my biggest attraction

My thoughts on Volkswagen Passat 2003
Not really in love with the outer look
I am impressed with the interior
My biggest concerns is its reliability and maintenance cost
It drives better and more balanced is my biggest attraction (Most German cars have this advantage over Japanese models)

Help: If you really know more about Volkswagen Passat 2003, I am really concerned about its reliability and maintenance cost, as for the Toyota I am sure they are reliable, but I hate their interior decoration.

WOW! No one can say anything about a Volkswagen Passat!

if ur buying the Passat with 2.0 FSi engine, that means ur getting about 200-horsepower from a 4cyl engine. the passat V6 gives more horsepower and also 4-wheel drive which is wonderful for Nigerian roads, remember the Passat comes with leather interior as standard. the corolla maybe cheaper and less expensive to maintain, but remember that fuel is d same price in the market and engine oil is the same price. so if u want a true driving experience, the cost of parts shouldnt scare you, afterall no one wishes to crash his car. if ur looking for a cheap sedan with poor ride quality (compared to the passat) and cheap maintainance, go for d corolla.

Thanks man. But you know the thing with Tokunboh cars, they are a risk. So you want to be sure, should anything happen you would be able to take care of it right away.
