I think the "reliable Toyota" reputation is quickly on the slide.

DPF problems across their diesel range for starters. My Cruiser had almost $18000 worth of warranty work at 30K km (for a known issue). Also dusting issues in the air boxes are well known.

We use to have Hilux's as work cars, but they were plagued with problems. The Rangers they replaced them with were almost trouble free.

I think Kia and Hyundai probably have a better reputation now. Pity they are so damn expensive to service.... Mind you my wifes previous 2 cars were a Hyundai Terracan followed by a Kia Cerato - both had issues....

Makes the couple of smallish issues I've had with my Mondeo seem pretty inconsequential
