I think this guy had a headswap operation with a dog when he was about 5yo;

Spun it in the wet before ownership had reached 3 weeks. Fishtailed it on the brakes in the snow. Handles like a go-kart? My rse! (wink ) Didn't research his choice of car for known problems - like the precat failure he had, and to check for this when buying or once owned. No evidence of him checking the wheel alignment on his moderate-miler either, so I will assume not.

Why must people always insist on blaming someone else for their lack of intelligence when it's almost entirely a learned attribute?

Sounds like he got everything he deserved, except the removal of his driving licence!

I never managed to kill myself when I was driving one. Thought it was quite a fun little car. Certainly much safer than my E30 325is, now that plus slippy surface really dont mix, entertaining though.

Dangerous car that - far too much power (for someone like him)! And expecting it fixed for free after 7 years?!? FFS, is he American???

To be fair, he didn't. It was the Toyota dealership that mentioned the warranties had been extended to 7 years. Toyota just used the 3 months over the 7 years to avoid doing it, which you would expect them to.

Dodgy turn of phrase I'll grant you though ... "rain caused it to spin".

What gets me, is these cars handle superbly and any spins are driver error (unless wheel allignment is out, but that could still be deemed driver error), yet he writes a review and cusses the car, not himself. rolleyes
