I sure hope you don't have issues with a pretty much new vehicle....How do you drive a couple year old vehicle into the ground. Isn't that usually reserved for older cars?Mordac said:I'll concur with the Corolla assessment. I've been driving a 2009 into the ground for the past few years, and have never had a single major (or even minor) mechanical issue with it. Exciting it isn't, but it's incredibly good on gas, and as reliable as an old Timex.

About your statement on reliability...I think Toyota and Lexus has really been debased quality-wise in this decade. Not just cheaper, flimsy interiors, but the cars in the 90's seemed much more heavy duty. I've had an SC400, Camry and Corolla from that time period. I currently have a GS450 and wife drives a Camry from this current era. I'm sure it's more than nostalgia, but I really do believe cars were much better built back then. Sure, the gap allowance between body panels have shrunk since then, but overall the cars don't seem as solidly built as before. Is this a valid statement? If so, is this due to the effects of price competition from Korean cars or is this just pure profit taking on their part? I've been brought up in a toyota household and i swear by them, but if they don't get their act together, I may think about switching.

If it was white leather, there isn't much you can do. Try hydrogen peroxide (on an inconspicuous spot of leather), and if it doesn't wreck the leather, it might help.

The cars are real though, so yes.
