Cannot Believe people like Toyota
 I bought this car used with 90,000 miles on it. it was nearly spotless, and drive fantastic. loads of power, a little too much torque steer for really getting on the throttle though, and terrible in the rain, it will spin the tires all the way into the 50mph range if you stomp on it. crazy for a big wagon. however, less than 7000 miles in the car died on the highway. alternator was ruined. $900 to replace it, because you have take the front of the car apart to get it out. including removing the radiator. next the rattle it the steering column started getting loud, I can hear it on the highway now. then the front passenger wheel bearing and tie rod went bad. seems common on this model, $780. Next was a replacing all the brakes, rotors and all, did it myself, $390, they were shaking when stopping with only 15,000 miles on them. and then, on a trip, the front drivers strut burst and blew oil all over the brakes, which hardened the rotor and now it's shaking again. Shop said the read passenger bears were gone too. $1330. rear struts are bad too, but thats another $1000, skipped it. The leather is garbage. the arm rests and center console are falling apart. The heater whines, the transmission is whining, the stereo has no base, and no volume, its the second stereo in the car, the original nav system died. I feel cheated, this was the first newer car I had bought in 20 years, and the most expensive car ever. I expected a car based on the Camry, built by a leading manufacturer with a fantastic track record, to be a great car. based on the reviews, and the minimal complaints about this model compared to other manufacturers, I can't imagine how bad the cars that got bad reviews must be.
