I suscribe to Consumer Reports and the main Toyota vehicles i would be
interested in are always at the top of the pack.
that is.. Sienna, Tundra, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4 and I expect the new
RAV6

Consumer Reports has a "thing" with Toyota and has for years.

I have always been leary of CR, but when I looked at MSN consumer
reviews, Toyota still had great reviews, a 8.1 from users.

Then I checked Honda and they had a 9.3.

Toyota and Honda used to run neck and neck, it appears Honda has jumped
ahead in the mid-size sedan.


I've found Consumer Reports online to be a valuable source of information
on a range of products.

It also makes me popular with family and friends who call wanting the
latest info!


Same here. My sister sends my nices to me for an 'insider' opinion.
One bought the Toyota Sienna minivan after I pointed out CR's ratings.
One brother-in-law is still a hard sell though. He's mostly mad because
the local Toyota dealers are all owned by the same company and they
refuse to dicker.

Both my daughters have the Honda Odyssey (sp?), but they got the info a few
years ago!
