Hi all . Just a quick note to all you happy and some not so happy Toyota owners . Unfortunately I'm in the latter group . After be nagged , begged , pleaded by my wife I gave into better judgement and purchased a 3 1/2 yo kluger with 108 k on the clock . Mileage dosent bother me as it was a government car and well maintained . Well now the bad bits . Driving it home the cab noise was nothing short of catastropic .Can't hear the person in the other front seat talking . I assumed it was tyre noise from the all terrain Tyers . Had them taken off and wheel alignment done . Now at 130 k all tyres are nothing short of stuffed ! A 5 yo car with so many problems I have never seen before . As well as tyres and still catastrophic road noise , uncomfortable seats , constant rattle in the A pillar somewhere , engine light has a mind of its own , on and off all the time , temp gauge gave up last year , fuel gauge and trip computer don't match . Fuel gauge says full , trip computer says your getting 10lt/100 ( what a joke ) but you only get 458 k out of 75 litres ? No where near 10/100 as the trip computer says . I tell my wife what ever the screen says add 5l/100 and that's about right . Constantly drops into 1st gear when slowing at round abouts still doing 20-25 kph .

My wife now informs me the heater has now given up as well no hot air .

Against my better judgement I brought my first and last 4WD vehicle . I have had Toyota,s in the past and never had issues . This one has not only put me off 4WD,s but Toyotas In general . All I can say is what a rubbish car and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy ! They are total crap !
