@@ej732 , my 2013 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD, with 210,000 miles, has the same 3.5 liter V-6 engine and, most likely, the identical transmission as the FJ cruiser that you just purchased and I'm extremely happy with my Toyota and will, probably, never purchase another make again. Just make sure that you follow the routine maintenance schedule and your Toyota will give you many thousands of happy miles. Make to change the oil, oil filter, transmission fluid/filter, transfer case/front & rear differential fluids, ect... . I use only Toyota/Amsoil oils, lubricants, filters, brake pads, ect... . I do all the aforementioned routine maintenance myself to make sure it's done and done correctly. If you do employ the services of a mechanic, watch him perform the work. Most mechanics are rip offs. Enjoy your Toyota, you won't be sorry.

My first car was a Mitsubishi Diamante, then I went to the 89 Honda Prelude, but it wasn't until I owned a 89 Legend that I realized how much I liked sporty luxury. Then I had a 2005 Civic but never felt satisfied. It was a good car, but I knew it wasn't reliable. Now I have a 2003 Acura CL Type S with aftermarket headers, and I'm in love. To the point that I now want to get a daily driver, so that I can enjoy this beauty for decades to come. It is bulletproof, and when it hits that V-Tech, my heart always races in the best way.

I did a timing belt change along with the fluids and brake job to be on the safe side, and it runs like a clock. Only real downside is the gas mileage, but it's about the same as my old Ranger pickup, but is 5x the car, so I guess it's worth it. I think it looks better than its Lexus equivalent too. Scotty rules!!!

@ShaithMaster 5 лет назад

The MDX is the only luxury vehicle that Acura makes that isn't an embarrassment to the word "luxury". Lexus (Toyota) designs their top of the line vehicles first and the designs trickle down, Acura (Honda), for the most part does the opposite. The RL is based on an Accord for god's sake. Lexus is a household name, Acura is not. And the MDX looks like a Honda Pilot.

Geoffrey Wan these are initial cost and cost to repair will be significantly more Once the warranty is over but again with the comestic issues, you had said you don’t care but if I or anyone was else was purchasing a new vehicle from a luxury brand I’d expect my car to have no imperfections. Tesla is known to have quality control issues and I don’t blame them their a new fairly new company. Consumer reports even removed the model 3 off the recommended vehicles due to the consistent issues and we have seen that Tesla is among the least reliable brands according to consumer reports. Tesla is known for its technology but, the more electronics = the more chance of failure, just look at bmw as an example. You’re car may be working properly but you’re just a small sample compared to the population data we had observed.

Your 5 speed transmission is on borrowed time. Look up the recalls on that specific transmission. You might be lucky if the previous owner of the car had it replaced under warranty with a factory "upgraded" transmission. There is info out there to visually inspect and tell if its a replaced unit. I owned a 2002 TL, sold it with alomost 290k, but had a lower mileage 3.2 and a transmission from a TL which had it replaced at the dealer. Never again.

@tenhundredkills 5 лет назад

@@NVzla Trust me, I looked into the transmission issue before I bought the car. Currently, it's on the recalled transmission (previous owner sold it shortly after replacing it) and it has a little over 100K miles on it.
