    Well, as I have said before, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in driving or even buying a Toyota, sooner than any Ford, or worse Vauxhall.

    Recalls or not.

    Turkey or Czech over Poland then. You could have a Suzuki from Hungary if you like.

    Got to agree with Inactive (there's a first LOL)
    The problem is that Toyota is seen as ultra reliable where as "some" of the other makes mentioned are expected to have little glitches.
    sudden acceleration events in Toyota vehicles have led to 19 deaths in the past decade
    No people not knowing how to deal with a stuck pedal on an automatic car caused the deaths, the pedal just created a driving situation that had to be dealt with.

    Can't argue with that logic. Shame there were twice as many of them driving Toyota's then all the rest of the cars added together though.

    I`ve had my Rav 4 for 4 years it`s a great car,I will buy Toyotas again no problem,it`s only certain models that are affected not RAV 4`s,I had a wee problem with the speedo not working but due to advice from a MSE`r in here it cost me £45 to get fixed not the £900+ quoted by a local garage,just bl**dy con men/women:eek:

    Statisics prove it all.

    Recalls

    All honda all dates 202
    All ford all dates 201
    All peugeot all dates 195
    All toyota all dates 135 (but re-check soon, I've a feeling this may increase)
    All vauxhall all dates 109

    Vauxhall the best then.

    Touch wood, at the moment there have been no recalls for the new Fiesta. I shall be happy if it stays that way!

    Looks like there has been 1 for the new Corsa.
