My family has owned many cars from many manufacturers both domestic and foreign. Toyotas were the ones we never had any problems with.

Although I like my Subaru, I still wonder if I should not have gone for the Toyota.

Only Toyota I ever owned (not the actual vehicle) and she behaved admirably.

Of all the Toyotas I've only ever driven Land Cruisers in the Middle East, they had two huge fuel tanks totalling about 150 litres. The cost to fill up over there was sooooo cheap, to fill up here, now, would cost ~£200.

I'd love one, but the wife'd kill me if I turned up in anything bigger than your normal smallish-family saloon.

She could go faster in reverse than in a forward gear

High intensity halogen lights for foggy/misty driving conditions...hell even my Focus has got them.

I'm now approaching £80 per tank full and don't reckon that is too costly given todays extortionate fuel costs.
