2.4L i4 is more fuel efficient than both but that engine was known to burn oil and most people would say avoid it. But if you see a well maintained minimal mileage one and you are good with maintenance the 2az would last.

My 2az has 335K miles on it and still steaming very well. It depends on how we maintain our car. The oil burn is not too much as people do talk down on it.

Why not look at an Acura MDX?

Please house, i am a newbie. I need information about Toyota Corolla Verso 2005-2006 with automatic transmission. I know some are RHD to LHD converted but i am looking at original LHD.

Does the car have any known peculiar issue?
Are the parts easily available and affordable just like Corolla?
I read the transmission is CVT, is it something i should worry about?

Kindly advise so that i will not make any mistake.

MDX is your best bet. Toureg is expensive on the maintenance list and requires a qualified technician.

The Grill and Tale lights of the 2003/04 and 2005/06 are different. Also middle headrest for the back seat in the 05/06. All of them are reliable once you take care of them but the 2005/06 is more fuel efficient.

The 2.4 engine is more fuel efficient and popular than the 3.0. The 3.0 is stronger and nice to drive but you will need good technician to handle it.
