Why is Toyota so technologically behind?

Toyota Corolla in the States still use rear drum brakes and an archaic 4 speed auto. Compare them to Honda, Hyundai, etc.

When people complained about the lousy braking of the Toyota Fortuner, we all expected them to change to 4 wheel disc brakes. But they only changed the mere front discs.

Toyota Innova has smaller front disc brakes than the Smart car.

When driving on auto-gear, the D3 light come out randomly. Why and how do I fix it?

I have a problem with my Honda Stream car. When driving on auto-gear, the D3 light come out randomly. Only when I push the button on the gear stick that the D3 light goes off. This is very frequent and became dangerous to drive. I can't find the reason. I went to the Honda service centre and few other car repair shops but they could not find the fault either. I'm stuck with this situation.

How to disable the factory car alarm on my Honda Passport?

It's a 1998 and I got in it to start it today and it wouldn't start. The alarm went off at first, the sound is dead in it so it's just the lights that blink and you can hear the clicking sound, but the horn doesn't go off. I turned off the alarm and tried to start it again, nothing. I opened the door and closed it again, I tried starting it with the door open. I tried letting it sit for a few minutes. I tried locking and unlocking it, using both the key and the keyless entry. I realized the battery was bad so I got a new one, it still won't start. Everything is clicking like it should but it won't even try to turn over. I put the key in and try to start it but I hear no engine, just a slight very quiet clicking.

Is the alarm dead? I took out the fuse for the anti-theft but it didn't get the car to start.

Help on automatic transmission, tips and tricks from any car experts?

Hello I'm new to driving and was hoping if someone could give me insight. My honda is automatic and has 3 gears. Drive, second, and low. I know low is the highest gear because it increases rpm much faster than drive. My question is, when am I supposed to use something other than drive? Any tricks or hints? When I merge onto the freeway, do I go in second gear, accelerate the. Drop down to drive? Please any tricks will be greatly appreciated

My honda activa has started losing mileage just after 2 k km - what should I do/check?

Initially my activa was giving around 40 km/lit, in city conditions, but since last 100 km the mileage has dropped down to @ 25km/lit; also if the engine is left idling the speed drops and then the engine stalls/stops. Could it be a dirty carburettor or/and something else. I have not changed the grade of fuel or the petrol pump station. Also this has come to notice since my last free service, done in June'14.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
