I was light on money but blessed with practicality, so I bought a used Corolla with over 200k miles and I drove it to over 350k miles. And I sold it for not that much less than I paid for it (if you exclude inflation).
No scandal is going to change the lived experience. Toyota produces cars that last forever with the smallest amount of issues. I owned a Chevy for a brief amount of time and it was the worst car I ever had, the entire thing felt like it was held together with cheap glue. I've owned many Toyotas and their quality is exceptional.

I can assure you that Ford and GM couldn't give less of a damn about it and are only above Toyota because they want a piece of that sweet high EV price pie.
