I had a Toyota once. 1975 I think. Used. Not a bad car. A celiac. They don’t make that car any more.
My friend picks me up in her Toyota suv. Most people have to literally climb in. She brings a step stool with her for people like her mother-in-law She’s getting a running board for it from her husband for her birthday. This instead of a weekend at the beach Very pricey necessary item that should have been standard feature. Stupidity
I took my other friend in her Rav 4 To an airport far away for her and her entourage to get a one hop to Paris. I drove it three hours back on straight highway. It doesn’t cruise. You have to put constant pesssure on the accelerator for three hours. It slows down whe you remove pressure. Sr didn’t spring for cruise control. Thinks because of consumer reports that she has a good car.
The stupidity in that design is on the level of GM- not including trucks. Tgey never stopped producing quality for men who refused to put up with design stupidity
Of course Toyota did this. Ijuts
“It doesn’t cruise. You have to put constant pesssure on the accelerator for three hours. It slows down whe you remove pressure. Sr didn’t spring for cruise control.”
Are you sure you where in the correct gear? Toyota’s, depending on the year have 2 selections for drive and they also have a sport mode which adjusts the gear ratios giving the sense of a lag if constant pressure is not kept on accelerator.
You're blaming Toyota because when someone bought the car they didn't ask for options? I have a 2018 Rav 4...came standard with cruise.
I have a 2021 Tacoma as well. Both of these are great cars. I started buying Toyota's around 1983 or so. First one was a pickup. Had to trade it in a couple of years later when the first baby was born. Got a Corolla. Was a great car. Family grew so traded it in for a brand new Dodge Caravan. Nothing but trouble from that van from day one. Kept it a year and traded it in for a Sienna. Kept that used it heavy for family and business for about a decade before selling it. Bought another Sienna. Kept that until we traded it in for the Tacoma.
Bottom line: Never had any problems with any Toyota I've ever bought other than normal wear and tear items. Never. Well almost never. One time when the Corolla was 8 or 9 years old it conked out in the middle of the highway. Couldn't figure it out. Had it towed. Turns out it was all covered under a hidden warranty for the part that failed. Paid nothing for the tow or the repair.
I would take a Toyota ANY day of the week. I hear nothing but constant stories about how people's cars are in the shop or how it has this problem or that problem. I just smile and wave.
