I was light on money but blessed with practicality, so I bought a used Corolla with over 200k miles and I drove it to over 350k miles. And I sold it for not that much less than I paid for it (if you exclude inflation).

No scandal is going to change the lived experience. Toyota produces cars that last forever with the smallest amount of issues. I owned a Chevy for a brief amount of time and it was the worst car I ever had, the entire thing felt like it was held together with cheap glue. I've owned many Toyotas and their quality is exceptional.
