The biggest disappointment of my life, even though it was supposed to be my dream car!
First of all, it's incredibly uncomfortable—after just a 30-minute drive, I already had back pain, and after a longer trip, I practically crawled out on all fours.
I never got used to the engine's constant burping and grunting, regardless of RPM, even after three years. Even a screeching noise would have been better. Of course, the sound insulation is nonexistent.
It's about time they ditched the CVT transmission!
The rear end slides out so aggressively that even with 30 years of driving experience, it's nearly impossible to control.
There was actually a recall for this in Western Europe!
The biggest issue was a fault with the accelerator pedal sensor, which caused the car to fail to respond to acceleration about 15 times—it would only crawl forward at 5 km/h, rolling straight into oncoming traffic. I'm just grateful I survived these incidents, thanks to the other drivers! When I took it to the service center multiple times for this issue, of course, they "found nothing." No comment!
By the way, there’s currently a recall for this problem as well—probably only in Western Europe again!
Another frustrating issue is the leather steering wheel, which wears out and deteriorates quickly.

I've owned multiple Toyotas over many years, so it pains me to say this, but the drastic drop in Toyota’s quality is painfully obvious! Now, all that matters to them is mass production and becoming the world's biggest car manufacturer. Well, they achieved that! Never again.
