    It's new and fancy so consumertards love it.

    It will also break after a few years and you will have to pay $$$ to have it fixed, so manufacturers love it. There are too many people still out there driving reliable cars that don't need more than an occasional oil change.

    Toyota still offers that sort of longevity. Mine's pushing 270K miles at the moment and still runs like a champ except for the passenger-side door lock guts that recently went south and I haven't gotten around to fixing yet since I don't sit on that side.

      > Toyota still offers that sort of longevity. Mine's pushing 270K miles

      Somewhere along the way, Toyota lost their way. What year is yours? One explanation I've read is that, when Toyota was about to pass GM as the world's sales leader, they changed their management focus to sales...and let their former laser focus on quality drift.

      I kept my 1992 Corolla wagon for 20 years until it finally rusted out (salted roads here) and needed structural work to pass the annual inspection, it was still running great. Have a 2003 Vibe (Matrix) that still has that great Toyota reliability (but I'd prefer the wagon that they still make, but don't sell in USA).

      Last year I inherited a 2009 Matrix with only 35K miles and it's not the same. Yes, it's a little nicer all around than the 2003, but things go wrong. For example, the computer randomly turns on the check engine light, ABS light, traction control light, then turns them off again after a few trips. I've been logging the mileage for lights on/off but haven't really found a pattern yet. Letting the car sit for a few days usually causes the lights to come on... The one time I took it to the dealer to have diagnosed, the lights turned off on-route and no codes stored!
