"Brisk and economical with great reliability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alarm locked up once.

Alarm was replaced after a general recall.

Rear hubs replaced after a general recall.

General comments?

Rear vision very limited (lift-back model).

Clutch set far too low by design.

Gear changing very crunchy.

Poor gear ratios for towing.

Why rear drums with the largest engine and ABS on a late model car?

Great economy.

Best instrument lighting ever seen.

You asked why the car has drumbrakes eventhough its the one with the largest engine and latest model, well because drumbrakes are despite being old fashion very reliable and Toyota is a bit conservative.
