Most any source of data you look at....True Delta, CR, Dashboard Light, Car Complaints.......you put those together and you'll find an
EXCELLENT reliability record. Sounds like you base your opinion on some prejudice against Toyota. You are certainly not basing it on
real world reliability data out there for all to see.
Something might be difficult to work on, but if you never have to work on it, what's the point of saying it's difficult to work on?
First of all, I have NO prejudice against Toyota. In fact, they are my favorite car company because they make the best cars. I love Toyota
And valve cover gaskets are something you WILL have to work on eventually! They need to design an intake manifold that doesn't have to be removed in order to access the rear valve cover. Nissan was able to design an intake with cutouts to access the rear spark plugs and coils, but you still have to take the intake off to get to the valve cover gasket.
I am shopping for a car now, and two of the cars at the top of my list are Toyotas. The 2ZZ Matrix/Vibe and the 4-cyl Camry 5-speed.
