Toyota on luotettava auto ja siihen päätökseen on tultu mm. autoexpressin erittäin laajassa tutkimuksessa. Ja tämä päätelmä on siis suuren tukimuksen tulos, ei minun mielipide, enkä omista Toyotaa tai muutakaan japanilaista autoa. Ja sinällään artikkeli on ihan mielenkiintoinen.
The Japanese have swept the board in a major new Auto Express survey to find the most reliable cars on UK roads. They claimed a staggering nine of the top ten and 18 of the top 20 places for cars that just never seem to break down.
The amazing figure comes as we publish the results of Driver Power 2002. The most reliable car is Toyota's funky RAV4, just ahead of the Mazda 626 and another Toyota, the popular Yaris supermini. Honda also scored strongly with three cars – the Civic, CR-V and Prelude – in the reliability top 10.
"The findings show that if you want a car which will go on mile-after-mile, year-after-year without ever letting you down, you have to buy Japanese," said Auto Express editor in chief David Johns.
There's bad news, however, for the Brits at the other end of the scale. Three of the worst four cars for reliability were made in the UK, including Land Rover's 4x4 for the fashion conscious, the Freelander. And when it comes to build quality, things weren't any better. Ten of the 20 cars at the bottom of that table were also made in Britain – including the big-selling fleet favourite, Vauxhall's Vectra. German car makers took the honours here, with the BMW 5-Series claiming number one spot, and Audi having four cars in the top 10.
An incredible 15,000 of you completed the special survey forms published in Auto Express. Your cars covered a total of nearly 332 million miles – equivalent to over 13,000 times around the world or 192 times to the moon and back. These statistics make this the biggest car reliability and satisfaction survey ever carried out by a weekly motoring magazine. We asked you to rate 10 key areas of your cars. The responses were professionally analysed to produce the results, published in this week's magazine and in the two issues to follow.

Toyota on hajuton, mauton ja munaton pappa-auto. Toyotan suosio "poikain autona" kertoo valitettavaa kieltään suomen nuorison tyylitajuttomuudesta.
Joka on niin tyhmä, että ostaa Toyotan, niin myös ansaitsee sen.
Toyota on automaailman ehdoton ykkönen huolettoman liikkumisen välineenä.
Jos haluaa luotettavuuden lisäksi tyyliä liikkumiseen, niin silloin valinta on Prelude. Valitettavasti sitä ei juuri tällä hetkellä saa uutena.
No voihan sitä kateelliset noinkin selitellä... Toyotalla on sentään paljon malleja, mm. oikeita maastureita, urheilumalleja, pick-uppeja ja luxus sedaneita, toisin kuin esim Opelilla, VW:llä, Renaultilla, Pösöllä ja Citicalla.... eli Toyotalta löytyy malleja laidasta laitaan, eikä mallit koostu jostain peru perus autoista, kuten monilla muilla pikkupajoilla....
mun mielestä tämän hetken teiniauto numero 1 on 80-luvun 300-sarjan bemarit...teinit luulee, että ne on niin tuning vehkeitä, kun lateitaan 4" pakoputki ja katkastaa jouset...
Ei taida olla olemassakaan!
Saksalainen laatu on mielikuva. Ne uskovat sokeasti mitä käsketään.
Japsit ovat valovuoden tekniikassa edellä, mitä tulee järkiauton tekemiseen.
Puhumattakaan elektroniikasta yms.
