I am gradually leaning towards the avensis as the fuel economy seems better than the camry..

The Avensis is a wiser option since you want to resell it in future most Nigerian buyers love fuel economy and class as well so I feel the Avensis is a better choice

Resale value?
Fuel economy?

Me thinks if resale value is an issue, then it would be a camry

But

of fuel economy is the issue, then it would be the avensis.

Correct me if I am wrong,

the herd mentality is more in favour of a camry or a corolla than an avensis

Camry is as common as pure water in Nigeria. I don't blame owners of Camry sha. The car dey perform. It has a very high resale value. It has a non-interference engine. That's what is making me crazy about it.

Yes, it may be a boring car for some people. The 2.2 engine has a high mpg(fuel economy).Though the car may not be as fast as cars with V6 engine

Just my thots though. Its left for you to make up your mind

Thanks Guys,from the few points shared I guess the camry is a better option....I would need other inputs also..

Thanks

better option if
1.you want to resell at prices close to what you bought the Camry and also
2.care about the time it will take to dispose of car, when you are done with it because there is always a market for a well-taken care of Camry not so sure about the avensis
