Are they still reliable? In terms of fit and finish and mechanical? Has the quality of these cars dropped in recent years from where they were to have achieved the said repuatation? I'd just like to know because i'm thinking of buying one for the first time. I need an absolutely unbiased opinion though. I think you have come to the wrong place to get a unbiased opinion this a Toyota owners forum. I will still purchase new Toyotas in the future, 9 out of the 10 cars I have owned have been Toyotas.
