I just went thru the new car buying ordeal... 2002 Toyota 4 Runner
Took a hand held shortwave radio and with collapsed antenna to "sniff out"
the noise sources on each car I test drove, then narrowed down to 3 brands
and took Icom 706 with 40 meter whip
Not sure how the Toyota direct ignition fares, but my 2002 Toyota V6 has
three coils (1 per 2 cylinders) and therefore three long plug wires.... lots
of RFI from the wires and coil but can be greatly reduced with shield
The fuel pump is, on the other hand, VERY noisy and not easily solved
And HVAC fan is noisy high speed but OK low speed
