Getting all the praise and good marks.

Wow, very nice review. Even the second opinions are great as well as customers.

Suspicious

I'd bet that their sample was a "golden car" - handpicked and tested by Toyota Motor USA.

Bigpow,
I realize you have a car with the severe drift problem and are very upset about it and that's understandable. But evidence here shows this problem occurring very infrequently. My poll shows only five people with bad drift that haven't had it fixed yet. I'm assuming your comment wasn't in jest. If so, to be unbelieving that a car test was great is just not realistic. I would have said the same things the reviewer did. Unless most people with severe drift have been super quiet about it, the facts and reports seem to say Murphy's law hit you and the vast majority of these cars don't have this problem. If it really is a design problem, I hope they come up with a fix soon. Otherwise, affected people should just exercise the lemon law and move on.
Sorry bro,
Dave

you're right.
I love this car too much to let it go...
I might get my money back soon, already contacted a lawyer.
Just don't know what would I buy next... what a headache!!!

Buy another one! Pretty low odds of getting a second lemon.
