My biggest complaint about Toyotas is that they are over priced compared to other vehicles that are similar in quality and performance. In my opinion Toyota has enjoyed an undeserved reputation for exceptional quality for several years. I don't think Toyota builds bad vehicles any more than other main line manufacturers, but I don't think they build exceptionally good vehicles either. As a friend of mine said, Toyotas are extra-ordinary, not extraordinary.... Ed
