Please spare this thread from anecdotal stories of how great your Toyota is.
My Toyota is better than your Pinto.
Not from me! We bought a new Sienna van about 10 years ago and it was one of the worst POS’s I’ve owned. The engine sludged up, even with faithful 3,000 mile oil changes. Every time it started, it blew out great clouds of blue smoke. Toyota was telling people there was no warranty for this well-known engine defect. Sometimes you would be able to badger the company into fixing it, but if you changed your oil just ONCE at 3,001 miles, you lost all company warranty coverage for the engine problems.
When we sold it, the buyers took it to a dealer for a check and they reported it had a remanufactured transmission in it. We had never serviced the transmission ourselves, so it must have come that way from the factory.
Our one experience with a Toyota product was just awful. Almost as bad as with the two Volvos we once owned.
