Perhaps you should have asked if other Toyota owners are having the same problem. I have three Toyota's and they are flawless. Are you certain you're not driving around with your foot on the brake? And what is going bad anyway the pads or the calipers. Toyota is the best car company I have...

Check the ball joints and brake calipers and pads. You've checked just about everything else. Ball joint would give you a bumpy type noise but would most likely go away when it is raining (rain acts as a lubricant and will dampen the sound). When it dries if the sound comes back there is a...

Toyota used a proprietary fluid for years. If you had it done at a Toyota dealer take it back right away. If it was done by you or an independent garage without the correct fluid it may have led to the problem. Hopefully it is a simple adjustment that just coincidentally occurred when the...

The Prius has a decidedly greener footprint because you are either running off battery in town at low speeds or using battery assist on the highway. The less the engine runs, the fewer emissions you are putting into the atmosphere. But if the price of the Prius drives you away, there is...

That is the best you are going to see. It is a well made and fun bike. It is faster than you need it to be, especially 0 to 60 and will pull strong all the way up to 100mph. I hope you are planning to take a riding course before you get out on the road. Good luck!!

Google "spark plugs blow out on 98 toyota tacoma" and you may get a hit. If the plugs were so overtightened that the threads are stripped you may be able to repair it with a heli-coil. If they are just working loose and are correctly torqued you have a serious problem that is not going to be...

I very much agree with Bob's answer. They are very comparable and either will satisfy your needs. I would add that it is sometimes important to buy from a dealer with a good mechanic and one that has been selling the chosen brand for quite a while.
