the ba falcon we owned did the same thing. as well as my mates 180sx. i have owned 3 toyotas in my short driving life ( iam 20 ) a sv21 camry, a 2000 corolla conquest , and a 1990 jza70 supra. the sv21 camry we had from new until about a year ago when someone crashed into me, the corolla we also had from new and my supra i picked up december 05 to be honest ive thrashed the crap out of all of these cars. gave them an absolute hammering. and after years ( 15 for the camry, 1.5 of which were when i was driving) of abuse these cars have been as perfect as when they were purchased. This quality i have not seen in any other brand of car that i have been associated with ( friends cars etc ) the only problems ive ever had is on the camry when it was about 14 years old the water and oil pump blew. which i replaced for i think $50 for both, second hand. this quality in contrast to mums ba falcon, which we had for around a year until the brake master cylinder decided to have a catastrophic failure, causing me to be driving along at near highway speeds with no brakes whatsoever. say what u want. but dont speak down about toyota quality due to your 1 month of owning one. some cars are mistakes.. they have general faults. the same as ppl dont rate something as crap just because of one example. thats allmost the definition of racism
