Toyota: Rust Never Sleeps
By John Coyle
Editor
While some people aren’t happy with Toyota’s presence in NASCARNASCAR rules!I’m a big fan of the company. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent too many years being shuffled around in banged up old Camrys which simply wouldn’t die. But even though I’m currently nursing a big-time crush on Hyundai, I’ve got mad love for the company. So that’s why I thought this statement from Toyota was so cool. When the brass found out some older model trucks didn’t receive enough rust proofing, they decided to cover corrosion damage for 15 years from date of purchase. Given some of these trucks are driven on roads with more sodium than dill pickles, that could prove expensive. Bravo Toyota. Get all the details here.

One of the only 2 foreign vehicles I’ve owned (not counting bikes) was a Toyota Previa. The Previa is one of the wierdest vehicles made and almost definitely the wierdest Minivan ever made. They rack up the miles though. In all honesty, from what I’ve seen and heard from other owners… at 120k miles they’re just broken in, lol.

The bodies on them things were extremely well-crafted and the only weakness was rust, not much but in spots at the back fenderwells and window edges.

I bought mine 9 years old with 84k miles on it. Drove it for 4 years and sold it with 120k miles on it for the same price I paid for it.

It was the only non-extended minivan ever made that could fit a 12-foot long roll of carpet… and allows the rear hatch to close. Even the newer Toyota minivans can’t do that.

They need to do something about the quality of their paint jobs though. 2 of my freinds drive 5 or 6 year old tacomas and the paint jobs are horrible, ones got rust spots everywhere and the other one turned to chalk. and my grandmas corolla is getting rust spots and cracked up paint as well. i dont know how the newer models will turn out but hopefully its better than previously.
