No one is saying that Toyota's are exciting. They are stating that they are reliable. So, I'm assuming the point of your post is to voice your confusion over the NZ sheep to people ratio.

Typical comment from a d.head w.ker who has no idea about what models Toyota are capable of manufacturing.

You don't get it. A Corolla is so reliable that it doesn't matter whether it's done 50,000 or 150,000km it will still go for years without trouble. Many Hondas go for several hundred thousand km with only normal servicing and no Eurocrap wallet-draining failures along the way.

Well, I think it's him. They both have the same style of talking (or should I say typing). I asked 'usdefault' if he was m_t. Got no reply back.

I wonder why then that there are so many Toyota's of all models out there with a very high % of satisfied customers.! Frankly Jazz you are absolutely trying a losing game of "Baffling everyone with absolute bullshit." Who in their right mind goes into all the figures you bandy around here, I base my evidence on personal ownership of lots of different makes of cars over the last 45years and I know for a fact which ones are by far the most reliable of that mix of makes. There's no limit to your drivel about Euro cars I'm afraid and most of it in my mind and lots of others is a total load of crap. I'm not only talking from an ownership perspective but also working on cars etc for a living for around 16 years. I guess that totally qualifies me to say categorically what I consider to be proven to be reliable and cost effective over the years. That experience has absolutely told me what ones to avoid and what ones are worthwhile, and I have proven that for nearly 45 years plus of driving virtually most makes when I was in my motor trade days and as a professional driver for a long while also .amassing nigh on 7 million kms plus between cars I have owned( about 2 million kms on my own cars) and the rest being cars and trucks driven for various companies etc etc. ( but not necessarily every modelof those cars.) There's no way in hell that I'd be swayed by all your clap trap on here ever.PERIOD.

There's no way in hell that I'd be swayed by all your clap trap on here ever.PERIOD. Besides the BMW from years ago as you put it wasn't very old at all .like 4 years old was all and low km when I owned it. Even the cars ( should I mention make .bugger yes I will around half a dozen Toyota Cressida's and Grande's of around that same years of the BMW that I had prior and subsequently were vastly superior in pretty much all ways. Reliability, build quality comfort and surprising economy for a biggish car being the biggies , for gods sake Jazz I'm speaking from personal experience here, or doesn't that count in your delusional mind. It's widely known that reliability of any vehicle is cost effective after all you can do a hell of a lot of driving and buy a hell of a lot of fuel for the cost of repairs that I have personally witnessed and dealt with on some of the euro stuff of even back in the 1970's and 1980's when I was in the motor trade.

Yes Jazz but the $10,000 difference in a new car prices is a lot of k's, as you say that's $500 per year, so you would have to own the Toyota for over 20 years before it started to cost you more than the VW. The maths just does not add up. And as much as I would hate to say it the reliability of the Toyota still plays a significant part of any decision in buying a new car. And before you go on I have no affiliation with Toyota, but I am man enough to admit when one car is better than another, also I have just bought a new car for my wife and it was not a Toyota nor was it a VW.

Oh no Jazz they weren't stupid, they essentually had the car foisted on them by a shonky deal initiated by the US GOVT and the USA would almost be one of the most corrupt countries on this planet. Plus they admit it was bad for them.Toyota that is and it will only be a short time when they will rapidly disappear off the face of the earth, don't worry most folks are wised up on the claytons (Toyota) Chevrolet Cavalier debacle.

Seconded totally. Perhaps Jazz should be in there with the 10 year olds learning maths.me thinks ! Seeing he dragged that out earlier as an example of useless argument. The purchase price difference as mentioned here blows the math right out of the water on two counts. 1st Toyota's are cheaper to buy, and the country wide service backup is for more comprehensive and widespread, that makes for less down time thus cost effective.when required ! 2nd They over the years are most likely to be cheaper to maintain.as various others have voiced with personal experience of owning both.
