Engine blew up, dealer replace engine under warranty, but never explain what the problems was, seemed to be very silent about the situation, was without the car for 2 weeks.
Clutch had to be replaced, dealer charged me $2500 wasn't covered under warranty.
Water leaked around driver's window, repaired under warranty.
Engine only performs at high revolutions, which makes interior noisy.
Easy to bog engine down during speed shifting, engine requires more torque.
Manual transmission shifts nicely and smoothly, but it can be difficult to get it into first gear.
Brakes & handling fair.
Interior fit and finish good, but everything looks cheap.
I won't buy another Toyota again too many major problems with the car and Toyota dealer service was extremely poor
and replacement parts are extreme expensive.
The references to speed shifting, engine performing "only at high revolutions" and a clutch replacement (at only 16K km!) that WASN'T covered under warranty all indicate that this owner abused the car.
Then he complains that it doesn't hold up.
Apparently he has now sold or traded it. I feel sorry for whoever gets it after it has suffered the tender mercies of this reviewer.
Yeah I'm pretty happy you won't ever buy a Toyota again... I hate Toyotas!
They are weak, ugly, and unreliable... All of them.
I had a Toyota supra and had double the amount of problems than that. Now I own a 2005 Dodge srt-4 and it had not a single problem since the two years I've owned it.
You went from a Toyota Supra to a Dodge SRT-4? They are not even in the same class. I suspect you owned the late 80s/ early 90s model Supra and not the last generation before it was discontinued. The age on the old Supra would warranty higher repair costs due to wear and tear versus your brand new SRT-4. I guarantee you if there was a SRT-4 made back in the early 90s, you would have tons of problem with it now and you would never buy another Dodge again.
