My A$$ they don't. We have had an Impulse, a Rodeo, a Camry, and a Montero. Every single one has had more problems than our 3 Dodges and Ford's.

I don't know, I had a Nissan for a couple of years and it never failed to start, never went wrong and was a joy to drive.
That said my first two and my current cars are Fords (the current one built in Germany and imported, damned fine little Escort, its been to England and back, and all over Europe, and the only thing that has gone wrong was a bearing on the windscreen wipers, and the temperature sender unit). Never fails to start, and goes like sugar off a shovel around town ;D

What does that mean?


Either way, I personaly would rather put money back into my own economy instead of sending it overseas.

I just buy what works best, irrespective of its origins.
And sugar off a shovel means REALLY quick ;)

We're having our Micra for fourteen years now and it behaves exatly as you describe it.
Okay,most of the people who ever sat in it complain about the missing air condition, missing airbags a missing ABS (anti-blocking system) and a missing servo steering.
But hey,that's all stuff for sissys! At least it has a cassette radio with four speakers...  ;D

Yup. I've never thought that I can push a 55hp car to 160kph on the Autobahn. :D
