So true. There are just too many varying experiences regarding this issue.
What kills it for me is how the Amercans, some, are going straight e85 with a tune. Now if the cricket sound is related to the ethanol content in our gasoline, then those guys using e85 as their primary source of fuel would have an engine bay sound like 10000 armies of crickets would it not?
My car is brand new. Nothing to report as of yet. Hopefully nothing to report ever. However, I did get a weird noise with the engine when I got off the 401 for a split second. Sounded like what would be a chatty clutch. Weird...
I bought this car for I have trusted Toyota's track record for reliability. It better take me to a million miles!
