Both are economy cars. No idea why anyone in Nigeria would want to buy one, though. Can't give any first hand information about either.

Compare a Camry 2008 to a Corolla 2005.

Key points.
Efficiency
Luxury
Economy
Maintenance

nurey:


The camry and corolla are both very solid vehicles.

Efficiency both will get the job done but the camry has a bigger cabin, more leg room and comfortable sitting also more boot space.

Luxury the camry beats the corolla as the LE and xle come with leather optional sat navigation and JBL premium audio the corolla was never fitted with leather but the 06-07 has an upscale audio system.
The camry also comes with 16inch alloy rim options the corolla is 15 inch steel rim from factory on all models

Economy the corolla has a 1.6 and 1.8L engine while the camry has a 2.5L I4, V6 and hybrid. The camry hybrid comes close to the fuel economy of the corolla but to be on a safer side for 1st timer better to over look the hybrid. The corolla wins in economy but the camry 4 cylinder isn't bad if you want to balance power with economy. As full load the corolla is slow in acceleration.

Maintenance both are OK but camry parts are expensive than corolla. The corolla also has simple engine and parts even the sport version. I have 2 corolla in the family 04 and 07 the 07 has auto lock on moving the gear lever to Dallas, factory installed keyless entry, fog light.

Security both are robber magnet though the 06-07 corolla and most camry come with standard factory alarm systems, they can't be stolen whole when parked on like earlier models, but snatching at gun point has been major user experienced.

Verdict I would push to buy 06-07 corolla staying away from the sport due to bad roads and those with open roof as our weather conditions causes damage to the seals allowing leaks into the cabin.

If you like the camry, leave the SE and XLE with side skirts cause of our roads, push for a LE with all the bells and whistle (luxury edition with factory leather seats) but note most of the people using camry with non chalant attitude end up changing transmission.

Compare an 2007 Acura TL type S (Foreign Used) and a 2005 Mercedes Benz c230/c240/c280 (Naija Used)

Key points :

Reliability (Based on everyday use)
Performance (Driving experience/Driving Style)
Practicality (Ease of maintenance and repairs)
Fuel Economy/Mileage
Vehicle Endurance (Ability to take some abuse)

NB: Heavenlybang already gave me some advise on this matter. I just want to sample other opinions.

nurey:


Reliability both vehicles will be OK for every day knock around but the Acura has a more rating than the Benz

Performance it is known that the suspension setup in the C300 and C350 is softer than the Acura. The Benz is a tad smaller than the Acura in terms of road feel and stability I give it to the Benz but power And authority the Acura takes it all

Practicality both vehicles are good but part replacement won't be cheap but the Acura shares part with a host of Honda products. Benz parts don't break easily. The Acura has more room in its engine bay repairs and diy would be easier on it

Fuel economy the C230 and 240 are great in mpg compared to the Acura but the c280 isn't

Endurance both vehicles have solid build but will be better to give to a qualified technician for repairs as replacement parts are expensive and they work hand in hand. What you want to say is flexibility the Acura is more flexible in managing till you get to a garage. Both are well loaded with warning signs and Guage to forestall been stranded

Verdict the Acura is the preferred choice due to been a tokunbo, more luxurious out of the factory fits your dual purpose people mover and sports car

Nice, awesome details. Op, comparing them feels like comparing cans to rubber slippers or cake to kpofpkof or hot breeze to AC..do you get my point?

radautoworks:


Right?
Corolla= entry level economy sedan.
Camry= mid family sedan/mid executive level sedan

Both vehicles are OK and have equal rating in almost all the criteria you are looking at

The Mazda MPVs has a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder manual /automatic-gear-box while the sienna is a V6 only automatic gear vehicle

The sienna is a reliable vehicle above the Mazda as you will get replacement part for it anywhere in the country,

The Mazda has better mpg than sienna with its 2.5L V6 (gbera engine ) Vs 3.0L V6 (old soldier never dies)

Maintenance the sienna wins the engine is fitted into several Toyota lineup it's also a simple less sensor engine. The Mazda is alright too except for working in the engine bay area

Verdict the 4 cylinder Mazda is a slow vehicle compared to the V6 a 3 seater and comfortable sitting, the sienna beats it in size and cargo space.
Both vehicles V6 is a good choice, the Mazda rear suspension is solid over the sienna independent suspension so would still be firm on full load

I would pick the sienna to play it safe and if I intend to hurl cargo around

I would pick the Mazda for fuel economy or as a second small journey vehicle

weyreypey:

Be categorical. Don't be ambivalent. Sienna or Mazda MPV?
Sienna wins in all departments.

People Pick their choice with so many factors considered. The Mazda MPVs are solid vehicles too. You have made your choice, let the other individual too make a choice

I asked a question about 2007 Toyota Avalon vs Lexus ES 350.

Which is more durable, faster and more advanced in tech. Toyota Avalon 2007 limited edition comes with distant to distant maintenance sensor tech, that can slow down when driving close to vehicle ahead. I don't know if it's in Lexus. Pls what do you all think
