This is why to this day VW fans prefer German made cars to those made anywhere else, because they are just more reliable.

Also why American made v6 accords are a nightmare.

Yes, the final plant is automated, but the final plant just assembles the car, it does not build every single little piece that goes into the car. That comes from all over who knows where, and absolutely will be different.

Oh and yay, you called someone a racist. You know what that means? It means you are clueless and have no original ideas. The word racist is a total meaningless joke nowadays, used by people who cannot think for themselves. Congrats on that one.

Nobody DIED in those STAGED incidents. Cars don't magically accelerate out of control without reason; and if there IS a shorted wire or (older cars) stuck linkage, the ignition switch works just fine.

That was an orchestrated attempt to discredit Toyota, presumably to the benefit of Government Motors; and to shake down the company for "damages."

The ONLY trouble I'd heard of is the tendency of earlier Toyotas to have the factory-fitted floor mat slide forward and hang on the gas pedal. The latest models, including Yarii, have positive twist-locks - if the mat slides forward it's the owner's fault.

I have never seen a better-built line of cars; and probably won't again - if Toyota is looking to cut costs with Mazda design.
