I've never heard that before. Like nookandcrannycar I've heard of reliability, fuel economy, and resale value. If anything Toyota isn't the company that thinks of everything, and their cars are often lacking features compared to competition. That being said I still bought a Yaris instead of an Accent/Rio despite them having power windows, cruise control, a stereo with an aux input and a bunch of other goodies that the Yarii in my price range didn't have.

Same here. I can drive anything and not have a problem.

I'm not worried about my car in the winter. I can see the idiots coming and avoid them.

That's because Volvo was big on pushing safety. I've never heard Toyota brag about safety either.
