Thank you again my friends,

So now, is Camry 2009 good ? it is not going to bother me with maintenance, because now I have Tiida 2008 that made me crazy with the problems of ac, i changed the compressor twice and also i changed the fridge ..., that is why i was thinking that may be newer car is better when i was thinking about corrolla 2011

The Camry is indeed bigger, sturdier and faster than the Corrolla. Check the specs .......

My point is that many of the responses are subjective.

If you have access to the internet, you would be better doing research for yourself and making your own mind up..

Anyway, good luck with the Camry because it is bigger and sturdier and faster than the Corrolla.

I think almost of you said camry or corrolla

so my question is camry 2009 better than corrolla 2011 even if camry is older than corrolla,

I would have gone for the pajero but considering that the camry is 2009 and pajero is 2007 I go with Baburao and sugest you to go for camry here.
