Its not economical to maintain a car of more than 5 years old. Its no longer fuel effecient even if it has a smaller engine. I would suggest of buying a new one and sell the old car

Leeyah, do you mean that Toyota Echo is more fuel efficient than a RAV4? Yes, it is because RAv4 is an SUV.

I think more Filipinos are now dumping their SUV vehicles which consumes alot of fuel in exchange for a new small engine sedan.
Good for me that I still have my 1.5 decade old 1.6L sedan, all i need to do is have it fix.
