Default How the hell do toyota sell these??!

Im in melbourn at the moment with family and we had the pleasure of getting a FG XT hire car with 2000kms on it. We had to drive to Portland to pick up my sis and it was such a nice drive. The car has so many features and is really comfortable. You wouldnt think your in a base model at all. Unfortunatly the other night while parked at crown the car got its drivers side window smashed and the gps stolen. So we had to bring it back and get a new car. We ended up with a camry..........

I honestly dont know how this car sells. It also has 2000kms on the clock and its the biggest pile of junk car ever. Im not bagging out toyota just because im a ford fan, but because the car really is crap. Feels cheaper and more plastic inside than the BA's, The stereo is absolutly pathetic, the seats are very uncomfortable and we couldnt find anything to adjust the lumbar support, it dosnt seem to have a button to turn off traction controle, There is a light to say cruise controle is on but nothing to say its set, limited speedo functions such as fuel usage, the hand brake is on the wrong side of the gear stick prob cos of it being used all over the world, the trans is rough, and worst of all this car absolutely no power or torque. Its very hard to over take people.

Did I mention this car has some of the most uncomfortable seats. Me and my brother steped out with lower back pain and mum who has a bad hip got out in pain.

It just really anoys me that Ford can create such a nice car with better styling and drive train, nicer more comfortable interior with more saftey features and they still sell less than camry.
