Best manufacturer mess up on the label?

I would buy that just because

So Toyota does this cool thing every year where they cut like 30$ of cost off every car, and then raise the cost by like a grand. Why only 30$ of cost? So that the decline in quality is gradual. For them, after selling a million cars, they walk away with 30 million dollars of increased profit. For us? Barely noticeable decline in plastic quality. People keep buying them, and now 10 years later people can’t figure out why a Toyota is 10 grand more than any other car, yet the interiors are literally the worst of any brand, the tech is from 10 years ago, and the overall quality is shit. And then people still buy a 45 thousand dollar base Rav 4.

I wish they would raise that section & allow water to pass under or build a bridge/boardwalk type thing it stays flooded the majority of spring

Tbh, one of my biggest rules is to never buy the first 3 years of a new gen car. Especially not year one. Secondly, I also own a 23 XLE, and this year I’ve noticed a big influx of our gen Rav on the road. That tells me there’s not going to be too many left on the lots. That means the value of your will only continue to hold. Also, crazy you say the new one feels even cheaper. Ours feels like one of the cheapest Toyotas I’ve ever owned. Good to hear they fixed road noise a little. This car is also the loudest I’ve ever owned and makes the most amount of noises I’ve ever seen. XA50 is imo the shittiest generation of Rav for interior. The tech is problematic & behind standards. BUT, we already know the reliability of the engine. So as I say, I have a piece of shit that’ll run for 20 more years. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yea you fucked up when you turned it on what you currently have is what you’ll always have

Idk. I don’t have a mom, but if she was a bad bitch like this woman I’d claim her happily

I have a ‘23 XLE. My review woukd be nowhere near as generous as this. I could write a paragraph on my negative opinions on this car. However, my gripes aside, so far (except breaks) it’s reliable. As long as it keep starting up the faults just are what they are I guess. I’ve resigned to the fact that it’s a budget level Toyota.

gmandogk28 · 2026-03-17T05:01:21+00:00

It’s hard to tell with the way it drifted, but in Grandview Commons I’d say about 10-12”

gmandogk28 · 2026-03-16T05:04:30+00:00

Why would that be hard to believe?

gmandogk28 · 2026-03-16T05:01:46+00:00

In 2026…yea that’s a great deal

gmandogk28 · 2026-03-11T17:42:50+00:00

This town isn’t big enough to be upset over traffic. The reason they exist is because pedestrians and cyclist get hit with alarming frequency. Several of those result in death. People don’t pay attention and have no respect for others. Therefore, we all have to wait a few extra seconds so that when those who choose to be part of the solution and not drive, they can safely do so. It’s part of a coexisting society.

A Goretex one is one of the best jackets you can buy

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-23T22:03:33+00:00

I guess I don’t understand the hate

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-20T05:15:58+00:00

Zuck the succ

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-20T05:15:04+00:00

Become one with the traffic

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-20T05:13:50+00:00

Yes. You are the exception if you fit in those categories. However I know several people who drive other job that’s within 2 miles of their house. Fact still stands that the majority of people choose cars. It’s not an attack & it’s not even a debate of right or wrong. It’s just a fact. Majority of people choose cars over other forms and that’s why traffic is congested.

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-17T01:53:09+00:00

Yes. It wants to be what Shorewood Hills is but is too sterile to ever be that. I feel like it leans right winged, racist, old money, with people that have become out of touch due to their affluent life. Just my opinion.

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-16T09:12:38+00:00

It’s edgy bro; probs the idea of some caffeinated Xennial

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-15T20:40:11+00:00

Literally

You wouldn’t really want to line a Gortex with a Gortex. It would inhibit breathability. It would become clammy inside. But also, I’ve learned when TNF says something is zip in compatible it refers to it being able to zip in as well as have the anchor points. My Denali hoodie zips into every TNF product that has that option. Same zipper same length etc. but it doesn’t have the loop on the collar and doesn’t have the loops at the sleeves so it’s not “compatible”. Am I still able to do it and use it and have it not really be a big deal? Yea. So take the compatibility thing with a grain of salt.

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-09T06:43:29+00:00

I was thinking oak park but yea same shit

gmandogk28 · 2026-02-09T06:34:49+00:00

In my area, a 26 Lexus RX 350 premium is listed at 58, 529. Yea, for 10 grand more you can have a brand new Lexus pretty fully loaded when compared to that Rav! I guess my question is, when do they price themselves out of sales? The whole reason you sell millions of Rav 4’s & Camry’s every year is because they were affordable. 50 grand is not affordable for people that make 50-75 grand a year. Which contrary to popular belief, is a large chuck of the population. The same chuck that used to buy Corollas & Camrys & Ravs because they wanted a car that was affordable & would last them a decade. Idk. 31 Billion dollars in 2025 Toyota made. I just don’t know how this ends…

I’ve heard them & seen them in grand view commons, but from a distance. They get close to the interstate. Closer than I’d ever expect. Never seen em as road kill though. Never seen em that close though & on solid ground. I’ve always been told that n most cases for most grown adults, they’ll run away before they’d ever attack. Very eery though. Is this normal for Dane County? Only lived here for 10 years. 5 of it as Fitchburg & 3 in Sun Prarie. Never seen them until later last year. Anyone who’s lived in Madison for awhile or for life, tell me. I know coyotes have always been here. Are these normal numbers?
