i have seen people buy hybrid cars without even knowing it is one so i guess they must be easy to maintain since the drivers don't complain

They are 'normal' until the batteries start acting up. That's one of the most expensive issues you'll have with a hybrid. Hybrids are best bought brand new or with original low miles. You may be hard pressed to get original high miles in a Nigerian car shop

You didn't mention the ABS module. If he gets a good one, he will enjoy it. Gazzuzz has been showering praises on his and his madam own.

no special maintenance. Batteries can always be fixed if they go bad. If you live in traffic prone area it's the best thing that will happen to you.

Did he also tell you the 07 Camry has oil burn issues? lipsrsealed

Most cars have peculiar issues, some are preventable , some are inevitable. The issues you mentioned with honda are preventable , the issues with the Camry 07-09 4cylinder are inevitable.

It's a matter of preference. There is no better option. Choice is power over better fuel economy

Thanks sir. Obviously the i4 will save more fuel, but engine power and ruggedness is what I am looking at in the case of i4

Talking about the oil burn issues with 07 Camry, what is the remedy and does it happen with synthetic oil as well?
