My experience here guys. It was the exact same thing that this guy says better than I could say it. I was stoked with my Toyota, but I had to get rid of it because it was not safe for Los Angeles type driving. If you've ever tried to get on the freeway in Pasadena you know what I'm talking about.

Fair warning to you guys shopping for old Toyotas. Test drive it and make sure its ok for your use case.
