I loved all my Hondas but the transmission, when they work they are awesome but when that 2nd and 3rd fails pissed me off lot.
Ownd 3 si back to back. Loved each one of them, but I wouldn't say the car was perfect.
If you look for something to complain about, you will find flaws in every car.

Nah. Remember, people said the same shit about the 240Z in 1970. DGAF about any of it.

Those of us that got it then drove the shit out of them just the same.

I am a meticulous person maintaining my vehicles and I can only hope I will get some good mileage out of this car maintaining it correctly.

You will. Hondas and Toyotas of that vintage were put together really well. I don't have that confidence in ANY new cars, but they aren't so sketchy I won't buy new, obviously.

OP has a point.

I don't post as much as I'd like (work, personal life), and this isn't personal, obviously, but I've owned 5 Toyota products (along with two Mazdas & three Hondas), and this is the lowest quality of any of these that I've yet to own.

I still like it, though.

I will admit that I'm tempted by the 2016 Camaro now that it's around 3500 pounds, based on a global Alpha platform, and can be had with as many as 440 HP and a manual transmission for a rumored 34k starting price (2.0T 275 HP is rumored to start at 24k and 3.6 liter 336 HP is rumored to start at 27k).
