    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Well, bought this car hearing about Japanese reliability..But I was wrong. I have had endless problems with the car, the lever to move the driver seat forward coming off, music system display not working (needed a new display), front speakers had to be replaced, vibration in the gear shaft which was replaced, Dashboard vibration which was fixed, FM radio not working when rear screen demister is ON. Luckily all the above problems except the last was during the warranty period. And to top it Currie Motors is the pits when it comes to servicing, repairs. Never a Toyota ever again. Stick to German cars.
