dont buy the toyota. they have always had many problems. they just keep them well hidden. after watching the big three proudly take care of their problems toyota knew that recalls hurt your reputation and cost alot of money. toyota has had some of the most severe problems in automotive history.
every car make has their problems. difference is toyota does not take care of them. "voluntary recalls" is a good thing, they show a company is not greedy and truely cares about your safety, and giving you the best quality. toyota always has to be forced to do recalls.
toyota never had any quality, i have always seen them for what they were. their image is percieved.
"quality is doing it right when no one is looking" -henry ford
furthermore you buy a toyota you are supporting their growth and slave labour.
