Precisely why I advise pple: Why buy Tomyam when you can get Sashimi for an affordable price? 
Currently not impressed with our Japanese made cars also. So many problems. Compressor, steering coupling, initial batch of batteries, air con coil leakage... Just to name a few common ones.
Recently my car start to have a sound like a bad valve gasping for air. Go to TC they say its the air intake box loose. Tried to do insulation. Slightly better but not convinced leh.
Sigh.... At least the car is nice and spacious and affordable... Just question mark whether can last for 10 years or more..
This less than 3 year old car changed more parts than my ex-1988, 300,000 km jeep already.
