Ideal delves into the pitfalls of the Toyobaru 86, unveiling its Achilles' heel through a litany of woes. From its anemic Prius tires prone to slipping in crucial moments to the irksome torque dip plaguing the engine's power delivery, this sports car seems to stumble at every turn. The haunting chirping of the fuel pump, recalls for valve spring issues, and the arduous fix requiring a complete engine teardown paint a grim picture of unreliability.
