1998 Toyota 4Runner Base review from North America
"Should have bought an American Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many things on this car are faulty. Here's the list of flaws:
1) Extremely uncomfortable.
2) Very bumpy and bouncy ride.
3) Noisy interior.
4) Bad cup holder design.
5) Flimsy.
6) Brakes keep locking up.
7) Throttle keeps wearing out.
8) Sunroof leaks.
9) Inaccessible spark plugs.
10) Wind Noise.
11) Terrible Fuel Economy.
General comments?
I don't know why I bought this car. It has so many things gone wrong. But it does have a couple good things about it. It's good for hauling stuff around, and it has good steering. That's it, though. I should have gotten an American car. At least they're built well!
