Il meglio:Reliability. One new battery, one wheel bearing, one a/c compressor, +plus gas, oil two sets of brakes, two sets of tires. Maintained at home, never to dealer, easy to repair.
Il peggio:One day I'll need to replace it with another one.
Il meglio:Basic maintenance is all that is required.
Ever since I bought this vehicle
My weekends aren’t spent working on it like I had to when I owned BMWs
Il peggio:The air intake bellows seem to crack prematurely.
Il meglio:Great Toyota build, reliability, economy, comfort, drivability and value
Il peggio:Anytime there is a check engine or other warning light, it disables the 4wd and other functions. This is very problematic when you have a minor issue since driving without 4wd is bad for the vehicle. They WANT you to take it into Toyota for any little thing. I avoid the steelerships whenever possible.
