Oh, look at Toyota, always trying to sell us ‘value’ like it’s a magic potion. They’ve got the Highlander Hybrid, a 2022 model that’s so reliable, it’s practically a time capsule! And the maintenance costs? Well, if you can afford it, more power to you. It’s like a ‘budget’ luxury SUV, minus the luxury. The Toyota’s reliability rating? 81 out of 100? That’s like getting a B+ for ‘effort’ in a class where the grade’s already an A. Meanwhile, I’m over here with my trusty bicycle, which might be ‘reliable’ but certainly doesn’t depreciate as much as my hypothetical Toyota. And let’s not forget the J.D. Power score – an 87 out of 100 for resale value? I’m guessing that means if you sell it, it’ll still be worth 87% of what you paid for it, but it’s not like you can use that money to buy another Highlander, is it? Ah, the joys of car ownership!
