, hello everybody! i just really wanna know how efficient or rather which is the most efficient brand, confused and just want to get it straight and not make mistakes this time around, ma elder brova is about getn a new car so m kinda like his special adviser!!! thanks in advance for your warm contributions,

Not easy to say, besides a lot depends on the driver.

Several things that have a direct effect on fuel economy:

Shape of the car (aerodynamics).
Width of tyres (aerodynamics).
Weight of car (a heavier car will require more energy to accelerate to any given speed, hence needing more fuel).
Size and profile of spoilers, if fitted.
Terrain the car will mostly be driven on.
Engine size.
Engine output (hp).
Engine output (torque).
Transmission type (manual versions are more economical).
Final drive (gearing).
Type of fuel (turbo diesels are obviously more economical than petrol versions).
Quality of fuel used.
Engine condition (state of tune can make all the difference).

So, you can see there are lots of ways to make even a thirsty beast economical, there are no clear answers to your question, as a Toyota Corolla 1,6 and a Honda Civic with the same engine capacity will return similar mpg figures, the only edge either will have over the other would be in the criteria I've listed above.

No worries, brother.

Much as I'm a German car fan, and don't really care much for Japanese vehicles, for the Nigerian market, in terms of running costs, I'd recommend the Toyota Corolla.

Parts are pretty cheap and abundant in supply, and Naija mechanics know their way round the oily stuff in Japanes cars better than they do with German machinery. In terms of durability though, the Golf will have the edge, but I'd offset that against the Toyota's good local source of parts.

Good luck.

Thank you Bro.

If yes then i'll need a Camry 1996, V6 GX, clean, ac, cd player, etc. never been used in naija.
I want cash and carry.see the car for inspection in lagos and then pay cash and ride home.
How much would it go for? i need it anytime in january from 1st week.

^^^ Charles, welcome to Nairaland.

I'm not a dealer, though there are are lots of respected dealers on Nairaland to choose from, have a wander around, and post your enquiries, you'll get quite a few responses. There are plenty to choose from.

All the best of luck in your purchase, and have a wonderful Christmas.
