You heard wrong. The Japs have one problem with building cars that has plagued them for decades. They don't know how to make rubber. At about 100,000 miles on a Toyota, the seals all start to get brittle and leak. Most people in these cars think they are trouble free and never check the dipstick. By the time the idiot light comes on it is too late. I know of at least 4 ten year old Camry's and Corollas that needed new engines because of this. Rust is their other Achilles heel.

I've owned G.M. products and Toyota products over tyhe past 50 years, so I don't have to depend on what "I've heard" Toyota is head and shoulders above anything G.M. puts out. As far as people not bothering to check their dip sticks, that'sa a people problem, not a car problem.

Mine didn't. Maybe I'm an exception huh?

Buy what you want to buy and so will I. I have extensive experience with both companies and I will stick with Toyota.

I’ve had one Toyota and one Honda. My best luck is with Chevy pickups.
