too much routine maintenance required at a high $
 carefully check the service and maintenance details especially for required (routine maintenance) . I have owned the car for 15 months and have put 12,2OO  miles on it under normal driving conditions. the car is designed to require a rotation of the tires every 5,000 miles as a maintenance message comes on  and stays on replacing other important information. One must go to the dealer to have tires rotated.This negates the benefit of the10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL. in addition the following have been required; a new battery , oil leak in the transmission but no repair required at this time, 4 wheel alignment  required shortly after the warranty for such service expired. I purchased this car with the belief that toyota's last a an extended period of time and hundreds of thousands of miles. it obviously is going to require a great deal of time  in the dealership and unknown amounts of money. Nothing about the car  was explained adequately from day one.
