My Tundra was awesome, but guzzled fuel and I drive like an old grandpa. 13-14 mpg is expected. Also, Tundras are fairly expensive to maintain compared to Ford. My water pump went out and it was about $1k to get fixed.
Pros: Tundra was awesome
Cons: guzzled fuel, expensive maintain
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
Mine has also always had constant problems, I’ve spent so much money just replacing the water pump as well. I’ve also considered selling mine, because the cost of maintenance outweighs the fun of the car…
Cons: constant problems, high replacement cost

Volkswagen
I’m on my 2nd water pump, and it is starting to leak. I still need a third water pump.

Water pump 1 failed during the original warranty. Water pump 2 failed just outside of the new extended warranty for them I think I was at like 101,000 miles. Water pump 3 has now failed. I think im at like 110,000. Im really sick of being stranded in the middle of the night after work and Im sick of paying over $$$ for this obvious problem that everyone knows is a problem with these cars. I cant replace water pumps on average every 3 years. This isnt normal. Im 40 years old and have had many, many cars and 2 work trucks. I have never has a water pump fail on any car ever other than this one.
Cons: repeated failures, high cost
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 110000 km

Cons: losing coolant
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
