Knock it off Edy. You have been warned about your irrational Toyota bashing before. Just because YOU have had a few issues with yours does not mean that the rest of us Toyota owners are having problems with ours.
For the record, my 2005 Sienna has been the most reliable and durable vehicle that I have ever owned, even among the several other Toyota products that I have owned. It is approaching 200k miles now and aside from normal maintenance, I haven't had to do ANY repairs on it, none, ZERO, not even the A/C! It still has it's original brake booster and shocks/struts, it only burns about 1/2 quart of oil between changes, and it runs smooth and quiet. I have never had a Toyota that burned a quart of oil every 1000 miles, and I put well over 200k miles on each of them (including one that was totalled with 312k miles on it.
I know that there are exceptions, but IMO Toyota bashing regarding poor durability and/or a high repair rate is largely unwarranted. As far as Toyota owners who did/do little or no maintenance on their Toyotas is concerned, yes, this has been a thing with some Toyota owners, primarily among owners who trade them every 2-5 years. I have seen this myself MANY times.
As far as Toyotas driving slowly and hogging the left lane is concerned, I just came back from a 3000+ mile Interstate road trip and I witnessed the fact that the majority of left lane hogs (excluding big trucks, which is a sore spot with me) were GM products, by a LONG shot, and many of them were Suburbans and Tahoes. Second on the list were German luxury vehicles, which should actually be first on the list given their much smaller numbers (percentage-wise). Third on the list were Kias. In Texas the majority of them were full-size 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups (all makes). Toyota products were not even in the top ten. I was taking mental notes as I drove because I knew that this topic was going to come up again in here.
