Toyota (Toyota) is one of the world's leading automobile manufacturers, but just like any other brand, there are some drawbacks to its products. Here are some of the possible Toyota car disadvantages:

Relatively less fun to drive: Toyota vehicles are designed to focus primarily on comfort, reliability and fuel economy, and therefore may not be as fun to drive as some other brands.

Relatively Conservative Design and Appearance: Toyota vehicles have a relatively conservative exterior design and may not be as stylish and individualized as some other brands.

Power performance may be lacking: Some Toyota models may be relatively weak in terms of power performance, especially when compared to some high-performance competitors.

Relatively Simple Interior Materials and Trim: While Toyota vehicles typically offer high-quality interiors, they may be relatively simple in terms of materials and trim when compared to some luxury brands.

Suspension tuning is relatively comfort-oriented: Toyota's suspensions are usually tuned for relative comfort and may be a little less aggressive or sporty in terms of suspension performance.

Certain models may lack innovation: While Toyota has made some innovations in the hybrid and fuel cell segments, there may be relatively little innovation involved in certain conventional vehicle segments.

Relatively high prices: Some Toyota models may be relatively expensive, especially luxury and hybrid models.

Certain models may not have as good fuel economy as expected: despite Toyota's reputation for fuel economy, certain models may not have as good fuel economy as expected in some specific cases.

These are some of the possible downsides of Toyota vehicles, but please note that they may vary from model to model and that the automotive market and technology are constantly evolving and changing. If you are interested in a specific Toyota model, it is recommended that you learn about the pros and cons of that model through real-world testing, research, and comparisons in order to make a decision that best meets your needs.

Welcome to the forum @dimii, Interesting list here, some I agree with some I disagree with. While some of their designs could be considered conservative, I think most of their recent designs are really good looking.

I also disagree with the point about price. Considering what the competition is like, most Toyota's are very well price, especially when you factor how reliable their cars are .
