Had tons of problems with my Mazda but that was back in '05. Not sure how they are now.
In your experience or what you have heard, what is the tiest car make? The cars that always seem to be in the shop or unreliable?

Chrysler products, tbh. Especially Mitsubishi.
Jaguar.
Someone I know jokes about having to have three of them.
One running, one in the shop being worked on, and another in the shop awaiting parts.
Yeah I heard Chrysler cars are just . A guy I went to school with got a 2011 Dodge charger and there were already transmission issues before it hit 1300 miles
It's the high quality of union labor.
Nah it's not the transmission. Chrysler cars have a ty plastic part for the park lock mechanism in the gearshifts that breaks off and makes it impossible to take it out of park. They end up taking it in for a replacement and spending huge bucks instead of buying the $50 part in metal and taking an hour to do it yourself.
It happened to me and will happen to everybody who owns the mopar cars. Don't know about the 2011 and 2012's though. Other than that, I say their cars are nice. Drove the new 300? Very nice.
Mercedes went to sometimes in the 80's. When I lived in Gärtringen, my next door neighbor worked at the Mercedes manufacturing facility in Sindelfingen. He kept saying how they kept lowering the manufacturing quality.
Just go Jap and never worry about your car having problems.
Unless you made the mistake of buying a 2006-9 Civic Hybrid with the batteries that went to crap way too soon (they tried coming out with a software patch to slow it down but too late for a lot of us).
Yeah I for a 10 corolla and it's been great so far, I know 2 people with civics at 280k and still running great
Anything British.
Out of Peugeot, Mitsubishi and Toyota, Toyota was the worst. Everything was optional, hard plastics and low quality seats, the suspension was garbage, very fragile, very insecure. I got a good resale value for it, though. Maybe their more expensive models are better?
What Toyota and year u get
lol there's a reason they discontinued those

I hear their cars are made in China and out of plastic
They were bad 2000-2008 but they revamped everything and is solid now.
Fiat is the worst car maker in terms of looks.
You mean the ones you buy at WalMart?
Possibly. No WalMart here... thank god. But I have heard bad things about Great Wall
Or Korean.
Do the British even have em anymore. I know JLR has been sold to Tata Group, Rolls to BMW, Bentley to VW, Leyland is bankrupt and some one can probably chip in with the rest.
IMO the Japs are by far the best, and them Korean are closin' in (real fast). Have they overtaken Honda yet? I heard they are doing great in Asia, Europe & South America.
Pretty soon, i seriously doubt if Mercedes will even survive.
And finally shout out to FIAT, how did they do when no one ever could by turning around Chrysler.
"Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is now suggesting that Chrysler's operating profit in 2012 could exceed its $3 billion (U.S.) target, reports Reuters. If the June and year-to-date sales numbers in Canada and the United States are any indication, that level of profitability seems a foregone conclusion -- barring a complete global economic meltdown."
This. Hyundai and Kia are right about where Honda and Toyota were in the 80s.
I don't know about yall, but I have driven two brands of cars in my life and have never had trouble with either. I drove a 98 Escort for 12 years, and am currently driving a Mitsubishi for the last 3 years. Nothing major wrong so far. Then again, my father used to be a mechanic and he always bugs me if I have done the proper preventative maintenance on the vehicle. So far I suppose it has worked out pretty good for me.
