Found the following review on the MSN Auto website on the '03 LE. I was particulary interested in it since it mentioned "outside edge wear" on tires. I have noticed the same and of course attributed it to alignment....any comments? BTW, the MSN auto review site has some very good information. Highly recommended.... _______ Not recommended due to serious design problems"
08/07/2004 By: An MSN Autos Consumer. Exhaust hangs too low. Seems poorly corrected in 04 models by raising entire rear end of car (raising center of gravity). Poor handling, must pay constant attention, or won't stay in straight line. Problem especially severe in cross wind.Wears outside of front tires extremely fast even with tow-in correctly set at zero and camber set toward negative end of spec'd range, i.e. at -1.1 degrees (should reduce the problem but doesn't seem to). Evidently, tire wear and handling problems are due to engineering design flaws built into this model. The handling especially could be a safety issue. Toyota shop does not acknowledge the problem. Oil filter in awkward position to change easily. ________More to it at the website, but that's the basics....the website is here:
