    PROS: It's a Toyota Reliable and Best Resale Value
    CONS: NO HID headlights AND Android Auto or Apple Car Play ( COME ON ITS ALMOST 2018 )
    Can't have it all tho.

      @bambamxr 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The projector tubes are not designed for HID headlight bulbs, So you'll get mediocre light output and excessive glare... In order to rectify the problem you'll have to take apart the headlights and change the projectors to ones that are designed for the HID bulb... Still either way will void warranty if you have any electrical issues.

    If you're buying a car for Apple CarPlay, you shouldn't be buying a car. Yes, some cars might have more features than others and that may sway you but overall, this looks the best and reliability wise, is the best. It's an actual SUV. Not like the hideous Pilot. That minivan-SUV looks horrendous from all angles. Not to mention, its reliability ratings have gone down.

    Toyota has lost their view for safety and tech. Not even offering Apple Car Play nor Android Auto is not acceptable. The brake distance from 60 to 0 is always 10 to 15% longer than its competitors. Combine that with brake pedal issues, faulty airbags, uncomfortable seats, small space, etc....

    Terrible steering. Continually having to adjust as it vears left and then right. Watch the video; you will see him continually adjusting the wheel as he drives. Also lost navigation and neither dealer nor Toyota USA have a solution. To bad. Otherwise a nice car. But steering issue takes the pleasure out of driving.

    The 4 cylinder probably isn't powerful enough to push it along the highway at an efficient engine output, while the v6 would easily propel it at the higher speeds due to the more powerful nature. It's like driving a Prius at ten tenths vs keeping up with it in an M3, the M3 would likely be more fuel efficient than the Prius.
