Iβve had the best luck over the years using CRβs advice. I only buy Toyota, Honda, Subaru & Mazda. Just bought our 10th Subaru by the way, a 25 Ascent Onyx. The newer Subarus are so easy to change the oil yourself & very reliable. People will think 10 Subarus, has to be liberal democrats, Wrong, we voted for Trump 3x! πππ»πΊπΈ
My wife bought a new Matrix thinking it’s as reliable as a Corolla. It was the car we owned the least time of many new cars over the years. It seemed to need repairs at every regular service visit. We traded it in before the repair costs broke us. We’ve had better luck with 2 Nissans, a Mitsubishi & now a Mazda. That’s just the new cars. I currently drive a 20 year old Subaru that I bought 12 years ago & have spent less repairing than the 4 year old Matrix.
It’s good they directly addressed this theory head on. The funny part about the question is most of the talking cars folks dont drive toyotas. The guy talking recently bought a Honda civic for the kids.
I don’t own a Toyota, but I think Consumer Reports plays it straight and present helpful reliability data and sensible experience-base reviews. People get butt-hurt when their pet vehicle doesn’t do well and then they try to dismiss the info on Consumer Reports. That’s people.
This brings up an interesting point. Your reviews of Rivians are full of opinions about the UI, the level of regen, the ride etc. Whether or not it has CarPlay. Yet owners rate them number one. Maybe owners know more about Rivians than CR testers. Why are testers opinion, as opposed to facts, more important than owners experiences. And yes reliability could be better. By the way, I donβt own a Rivian.
Toyota customers are always fanboys , that’s the brand’s Pedigree to convert sceptics into devoted pilgrims as always ππππππ

Does Scotty Kilmer cash checks from Toyota ?
