I have about eleven cars registered in my name right now. Have probably owned about thirty. My Corolla doesn’t even rank in my top ten favorite I’ve ever owned but God damn I’d never recommend anything but a Toyota to anyone. I think everyone who says Toyota is overrated either A) have never serviced a car in the first place or B) have never serviced a Toyota.
Whilst they have been fantastic in years past, I’m worried about their future. Short version is, they use a lot of plastic now. source, I’ve been a mechanic for 19 years and currently work at a Toyota specialty shop. But still they’re probably going to be better than most others. Honda was good too though. I’m not sure about now, but my daily is a 97 accord with 265k miles. Amazing car.
Funny thing is that once I’ve told someone Lexus is basically a Toyota with sound dampening and a body kit and they were kind of less interested, seeing it as a cheaper car. The way I see it is, it’s like literally the best thing that could happen to any car; being made by Toyota
I’ve only bought Toyota for 15 some years now but they have service issues too. Like changing spark plugs on their minivan was impossible. 3 of the cylinders were not accessible. Their automatic sliding door components were also cheap and everyone who owned one had it break after 10 years. Fortunately YouTube has experts that showed unofficial tricks to repair it without disassembling the entire sliding door.
