Toyotas are excellent vehicles
my 2000 land cruiser is the best car-truck I ever owned
I drove a 1991 LC (which I purchased new in 1990) up until ~4wks. ago. Some witch was barreling about in her Ford Excursion and t-boned me in a residential area. Long story short, her insurance totalled my LC, sent me $5k, and today I become the proud owner of a new 2010 FJ cruiser.
Upgrade to a newer Camry soon.... me thinks
“

After having my late (G-d Love him!) father put my mom through
the ringer with two Chevy Malibus...when she needed a new car a
couple of years ago...
She said “I can’t take the problems of another Malibu”.
And she bought a Toyota Corolla.
NOT ONE PROBLEM nearly three years on.
Believe me, she (and I) wish she could have bought a car made by
a Detroit/USA-based manufacturer.
But she (and I) were concerned that they might no longer exist.
And even if they survived, parts and maintenance might be sub-standard.
I might buy a Ford in the future, but NEVER, EVER a GM/Chrysler.
Government Motors especially earned my ire over two items:
1. Mom had to pay $700 to replace the lower intake manifold gasket due
to GM’s false claim that the car would run for 150K miles with the
original Dexcool coolant...but instead cars blow up when that gasket
fails. (Good thing the Internet documented this failure, otherwise
the GM dealer would have charged $1000 to fix a problem GM created!!!)
2. GM told Congressman Pete Hoekstra (R, MI) to get lost when he
requested financial figures on their healthcare plan in order to
compare to other workers’ plans.
This was on Greta Van Sustern’s show on FOX News Channel.
NO MORE GM or CHRYSLER for me!
