Maybe Toyota has slipped a bit, but while i love to bag their product ( my favorite line is that they are about as exciting as a sao biscuit), i will admit that on the whole, they are of excelent quality and reliability is unquestionable. That said, I dont think they are any better than any of the other Jap brands or for that matter the korean brands except for the Holdenroos which are crap.
I am going to take the unusual step though of agreeing with TP, at least Toyota address recall issues. How the VE commondore can have so many recall issues and still win wheels car of the year has me stuffed.

here goes……..

TP,
mate im sorry that you are too biased to have a civil discussion about the auto industy or vehicles in general.

i also feel really sorry for you that toyota offers you no real desirable vehicles, and am even more sorry that you have to display such a bitter attitude towards anything that isnt a toyota

yeah fair call ^^

I take my obnoxious statements back. We’re all car enthusiasts, bound to have different views – no point of boiling it over.

My apologies Nm.

Peace.

Everybody, I’ve made a ground-breaking apology to TP on the Mondeo Tdci thread. Nobody before has done this.

We should all consider such actions from time to time as a little humility will go a long way to creating peace and harmony.

Yes Ford is No1, Im the reason why Toyotas reputation is slipping hahaha. How old are you, seriously? In high school yet? (Doubtful). Toyota is going as strong as ever, the general population who dont follow cars aernt aware of the MINOR issues Toyota have had recently… and even those who have know Toyota have acted correctly, far better then say Ford and Holden who will sell a defective vehicle with a smile on their face.

39 comments and rising…why is anyone surprised? No, seriously?

It’s no news. Anyone who’s had real life experience such as myself will know that the cars can have their problems just like any other make. I know they’re better than average, but no more than that. Certainly not perfect.
