i've been a toyota master tech for 18 years along with being a gm,chrysler and hyundai master and for the amount of toyota recalls there's been in 20 years, the rest have had the same amount in one mo. toyota will get it fixed and will still be putting out the best cars ever built. out of all the manifacturs i've worked for over the last 30 years toyota is the only one that puts 100% effort in pleasing the costumer. chrysler being the worst. i would wait until toyota gets a 100% fix on the problem, then get your daughter a prius. it's going to be a long time befor the rest will even come close to building a car as good as the prius.

thanks, I value your opinion,

you'll never go wrong with a toyota, the resale price says it all. not sure what the yellow box does, i'm more intersted in helping the floks than points, but the gas card does help. i donn't own a prius yet, still trying to get my over it's looks. we've had mid size cars. i'm going to bring one home from work and make her take it for a ride. best of luck to you, and we're here if you need any thing eles. mws919
