    Hard disagree. Toyota has its lemons as well and people who bitch about problems far outweigh people who are happy and don’t say shit.

    I’ve driven and owned Jeep (80-90 model), Eagle, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, and now Subaru and my vehicles have all been spectacular and lasted a long time with routine maintenance.

    Do some model years or brands have some duds? Yeah. No one is perfect and plenty of other brands are just great.

        Yes, exactly this. Many people just don’t do the basics and part of that is money. The labor costs are what get ya. The complexity of narrowing down what’s wrong as the cars are more computerized and have more electrical components also makes it difficult to diagnose even for the pros.

        Key detail is that routine maintenance is important. Spark plugs, oil changes, flushes, timing belt, radiator, tires, brake pads, etc.

      Toyota CHR was a certified peice of shit.

      and I say this as I post from work at a Toyota Dealer.

      apparentley they’re bringing it back as either an EV or a plugin EV like the Rav Prime.
