Toyota's are really good, but they know it and are priced accordingly.

They are better but it is debatable if they are worth the extra cost.

For 'zample: a Toyota highlander is a very good mid-size SUV. But it can cost several thousand more than a comparable Kia.
Is it still worth it when factoring in the extra cost?
To some yes, but not to all.

I've owned 3 toyotas and all were pretty much bullet-proof.
But my next vehicle will prolly be a ford edge.
that's because IMO the comparable Toyota is too far over-priced.
