Is it this cheap, I did Ekiti to Lagos with 6k on my Highlander (V6 3.0L though), and I did 4k on same trip for my Yaris (1.5L).
Is it possible that corolla is more economical than Yaris?

a smaller engine does not always mean better fuel economy wink

Hello Gazzuzz, which SUV will you recommend that has okay fuel economy and maintenance. I want to go for SUV because of too much bad roads around my vicinity.

There are lots of factors to consider before making such assertions. The fuel you bought is a major factor. In Nigeria, I have come to know that some times you buy fuel that burns faster than others.

You also consider the tyre pressure, the amount of load you carried, the number of people in the cars, the effectiveness of your car catalyst, your driving style, the temperature of the day you took the trips.

A lot others. If you watch pre-race preparations in all these car races, you will understand all these am saying

Fair enough but i have got no engine related error code on the Yaris though; ofcourse i guess the next you may say is "having no error code does not mean better fuel economy" cheesy

driving pattern matters. Terrain matters. Tyres type and size matters, engine oil type matters, suspension modifications matter e plenty

Your candid advice for a first time car buyer.. With budget between 2 to 3million
With the money you can get varieties of cars. Going by what Oga Gazuzz said, keep it simple so you don't buy a money pit. Someone mentioned theft on corollas, yeah it's true, infant it's true for almost all Toyota brands now in Naija. You can look the Honda way or the Lexus way. Toyota is still a choice, you might be lucky not to be a victim of theft. Just keep it simple as Gazzuz said

What would you recommend.....

Benz C300 2015
Lexus ES350 2015
Acura TL 2015

Easiest to maintain and more pleasurable to drive
Tough call. In terms of maintenance, they are all about same. Lexus parts, particularly for newer models are getting quite expensive now. It might be a bit cheaper for the Acura TL. More pleasurable to drive would definitely be the C300, 2015. Nothing beats the German experience. But do check out all three and take them for a spin. You would feel more at home in one; that's the one.

Chief Gazzuzz. How are you today?

Why will a 2010 Toyota Camry sometimes vibrate when shifting the gear to reverse? It shifts to other gears smoothly. There is a "maintenance required" light on the dashboard. The mileage on the vehicle is just 108,000, and it has automatic transmission.
Thanks.

You are dealing with a sensitive gearbox without a dipstick to check oil colour and texture.

Please stop being your own mechanic.

usually the Onyibo man will sell the car just before or after expiration of his warranty (100,000miles) you are at that threshold and it is very likely transmission oil has never been changed.

check the harmonic balancer.
The rubber isolator might be defective causing the entire device to slip when more load (compressor) is added to the system
