the MB was a very reliable car as well. (And fun to drive.)

Drive train is all I care about. And with Toyota you can count on 300k.

Yes. Toyota parts costs are horrible.

kccougar

The point of a Toyota is that you dont have to buy parts.

Then why do Toyota dealerships have robust parts departments?

I have an Audi A4 and a Chrysler Pacifica. Never been to a mechanic for either.

I would've paid over $10K more for a comparable used Sienna.

Mileage?

How different is a Geo Prizm from a Toyota Corolla?

4 tires and a steering wheel, what's the difference?

John Doe

Open the hood of a Geo Prizm and you'll see Honda stamped inside.

Belboz

7/25/21 2:59pm

Wait, Honda makes the Corolla?

John Doe

7/25/21 3:54pm

Belboz is confusing his econobox manufacturers. I’m unaware of Honda/GM collaborations. But Toyota & Gm pulled together.

Tokolosh

I know, just messing with him. There have been many collaborations with a variety of manufacturers over the years.
