Then you've had the exact opposite experience from me - Toyota was the absolute worst vehicle I've ever owned; both the Ford I used to have the the Chevy I currently drive have been perfect.

Is your experience any less valid than mine?

I don't care what Toyota is today. My crummy experience has tainted the Toyota name for me forever. And really, why does anyone care?

Why would I bother? The worst vehicle I've ever had the displeasure to own - bar none - was that Corolla. I have no interest whatsoever in owning another Toyota. You know what they say: Once burned, twice shy.

I got rid of the Toyota and bought a new Ford Escort station wagon - awesome little city car, no issues ever. When I moved to the woods, my 10-yr old Escort couldn't handle all the rutted gravel roads and heavy hauling I did, so I traded it in for an indestructible 1999 Silverado 1500. Gently used, loaded, absolutely trouble free, and exactly perfect for my needs.

Sorry, Toyota. You lose!
