Yeah it’s insane we pay near $30k for a car and get crappy uncomfortable seats. What’s worse is everyone is okay with that and tend to say “you want better get a more expensive car, it’s not a luxury car.”

It shouldn’t take luxury price ranges or a luxury car to have comfortable seating and a decently nice interior to be in. These companies make millions off of us. Yet They refuse to spare the tiniest portion of their precious profit to allow their customers to be decently comfy.

It’s a Toyota, not a Lexus.

Mine doesn’t look this, but I also don’t have leather or its mimics because I hate it.

I once had a Honda Odyssey that had the most beautiful leather seats you’ve ever seen. I would have traded them for a working transmission in a heartbeat.

It’s not acceptable but it also ain’t a Lexus. Cheap car means cheap build. That’s why the price is low.

It doesn’t matter how interior looks people will still buy it because it’s Toyota. Because of this alone Toyota could not care less.

Toyota Corolla cross thread

Toyotas QC has been slipping since the 90’s and it’s gotten particularly bad in the last 10 years. Sure it’s no Chevy Aveo but I expect the best out of the brand touted as being the absolute best

They had labour issues at that plant. Unfortunately some of the Toyota interiors from US plants have had defects but this is the first time I have seen it on a Cross. There was a Capstone Tundra that I saw brand new and the passenger seat leather perforations still had the circle cut outs poking out of the seat.

That should not have passed final quality inspection.

Just a reminder Toyotas are not cheap, they are on the upper end of the spectrum of ‘mainstream’ brands

Tell them, this is not normal and will be fixed.

Exactly what someone said if you want interior quality get a Lexus.

Oh noooo it’s literally undrivable
