    the problem is, we look at the mechanics and electronics. they look at nhtsa complaints.
    both are limited in scope.

    Even when the engine does not burn oil I can't get a catalytic converter to last worth a darn. Seems like everything on the turd gen takes a crap. Still more reliable than an American car but not typical reliability for a Toyota
