Everyones thoughts on other Toyotas

First Toyota for me. Currently not interested in any other Toyota model they offer, new that is.

 

It sounds like you should go trade it in then since you are set on an accord.

 

It's called a Lexus!!

 

Yes the accords are very nice my brother in law has a loaded 06 with almost 300k on it very nice ride.

The 2014.5 camry is nice also although I have not driven one.

 

One of our work rigs is a Sequoia & is a very good ride if you're looking to go full-sized (but I still prefer my wife's Tahoe LTZ to it).

 

I have owned Toyotas since 1984:
1 corolla
1 Highlander
2 Prius
2 Tacomas

 

If they made a Tacoma version, I'd buy one. I spend a lot of time in my truck, and would gladly pay the money to get my MDX's center stack in a Tacoma (I suppose I could live without the DVD in the back seat )

You can buy a F150 with "a key and a heater", right on up to a loaded to the tits Limited. Sitting in both of them, it's not hard to see where your money went.

Sitting in a base Tacoma and then a Limited, one asks himself "I paid 10K for this"?

 

Yea just like most everyone else on here... I'm part of a Toyota family. Lol my wife and I had a 92 Camry, now a 05 Camry and my 01 Tacoma. My father in law has 2 Tacomas, a 04 and a 12. Sister in law drives a Rav 4, and my grandpa drives a Venza... Once u go with Toyota u don't wanna go back

 

I had a 90 and a 98 corolla and loved both of those cars. Small, great gas mileage and just seemed to do everything well. I was even able to fit 18 2 by 4 s in the 98 and close the trunk

My wife currently has a 03 corolla and Aulthough it has been very reliable with almost 190k miles I don't really like the styling, the interior is very poor quality and a lot of stuff has broken. It's kinda like a fat chick, does what it is supposed to do, is reliable and always there for us, but not my favorite

My taco is a 12 sr5 dclb and I love it. It's comfy, good amount of power, and has been very reliable. It's kinda like the fat chicks hotter friend who doesent realize she's hot

 

I needed a truck. GM and Ford didn't have a great track record in mid size trucks so I figured I try my first Toyota. Bought a 2007 Tacoma planning to use it around the house on weekends. Drove it to work a few times and realized it was a great daily driver. Put 100K trouble free miles on it. Over the time I had the truck averaged 21mpg.

Bought my daughter a 2007 Camry XLE with 35K miles on it. Very nice car that seems as reliable and trouble free as the Tacoma. Great car.

Just traded my 07 DCSB TRD Sport for a 2014 version. Same truck. Dealer installed heated/leather seats. Very nice. Seems slightly better on gas but other than that seems to be built just as nice as the 07. I am, however, thinking of pulling out the interior and putting in some sound insulation.

 

Come Aug/Sept the all new 2015 Camry will be here. First time Toyota ever did a two year model run.

 

My wife had a 1994 Celica when we got married, and together we've owned a 2000 Tundra and a 2006 Sienna. We currently have a 2010 Rav4 and a 2011 Tacoma.

All are/were great vehicles for us. The only problem was the Tundra had bad frame rot. The dealer I bought it from did a good job at hiding it, and I didn't do a thorough job of looking it over. I was able to sell it prior to the frame replacements, with full disclosure, and I didn't lose a penny.

My wife was in a bad accident with the Sienna last May - she was turning left on a double yellow line, and some stupid kid tried to pass her before she turned (he told the Trooper that he "really thought he could make it"). He got her right in the driver's front wheel. They had to cut his passenger out and airlift her to the hospital, but my wife was able to exit the other side of the van and walk away with only some general soreness. That van did a fantastic job of protecting her. We really miss it.

 

He had an appropriate response to the OP's opening post.

 

Family with toyotas. Dads been with toyota since 1997 with a Camry XLE. He tboned an old 82 Plymouth at 80km/h, got out and walked away! Then bought a 99 4R Limited fell in love with the 4R design and capability. Lasted 300k and figured he'd want an RX300 for slightly more than a limited 4R. The RX was a really nice vehicle. Was a bit too much for him though, so he's back on his 5th 4Runner now, 2014 4Runner Limited. Very nice quality! I miss the soft dash that the 2005 V8 had though.

Me personally had a Sunfire in high school and got a Tacoma AC in 2009, had tons of issues with it, creaks, squeaks, broken steering column while driving and tons of small fixes that made me hate it. I got my moms old 2005 Rav4 after 2 years of the taco and loved it, bit it just wasn't capable, so I bought a 2013 Tacoma DC Sport and love it! Not sure why my AC was so a pos lol

 

My father worked at a Toyota dealership part time in the 70's so growing up we always had Toyotas from Corollas to Camry's to the pre Tacoma pickups to Tercel's to Celicas to Supra and MR2. All were great, very reliable vehicles with good resale. Having grown up with them I started with one myself. Over the years I have had several Toyota trucks (1990, 1993, 2003, 2013), a Corolla, a Sienna, a Prius and two 4Runners (2004 and 2011). Every now and then we would want to try something different so we strayed occasionally always coming back to Toyota. Like Vantage my 2004 4Runner Limited V8 stole my heart. With out a doubt it was the best vehicle I have ever owned. I was nervous getting rid of it and going to a truck for my everyday vehicle but I absolutely love my 2013 Tundra CM 5.7 4x4. My wife recently had a 2011 4Runner Limited V6 with a 3rd row. It was a very nice vehicle but having had a V8 in my 2004 I never really cared for the gearing in her V6. The 3rd row was nice when needed but rarely used. It killed the space in the back and was a pain in the ass to clean. She got rid of it and strayed again with a BMW. We'll see how that goes but so far she likes it. I also have a 2003 Tacoma TRD that I love. It was originally my brother-in-laws who sold it to my father-in-law who sold it to me. My son will be 16 in 2 months and it will become his to use.

I would agree with Vantage on the Lexus budget permitting of course. They are incredible vehicles. Never had a 470 but my wife had an RX 350 and it was Quality! If I do Lexus again I would go to the bigger model.

My suggestion would be to get her a quad cab Tundra or Tacoma, put a ARE Z model Topper on it with a Bedrug and you'll have the best 3rd row ever!!

 

How many kids you have? If more than 3 than your wife will love you if you get her 2008+ Sequoia.

 

I've had:
1988 Single cab pickup
2002 Highlander
2006 Tacoma DC SR5
2008 Rav4 Sport
2010 Rav4 Limited

Currently have:
2010 Tacoma DC OR
2011 Sienna XLE

I've liked every one. Not a single regret.

 

My first Toyota has been my 2010 Tacoma. My father has had a 1994 4Runner, 1996 Land Cruiser, 2006 Tacoma 2.7L reg cab, and after a few years of owning other trucks he is back in a 2011 Tacoma TRD TX Pro 4x4. So Toyotas have come and gone in my family. Me and my wife leased a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 and the lease is up this fall, trying to get her into a new Rav4 but she isnt showing intrest. I need a more fuel effiecent SUV but nothing dorky that I wont drive. Just worried about long term reliabilty of Jeep.

 

prius v. love it. its our road trip hero, super comfy, 40 mpg and lots of room over the other prius models. can't imagine not having a hybrid in the family ever again

 

Not all new 4Runners have third row, it's an option.
Have driven Toyotas from 1969. Have a Tacoma and Sienna on order now.
