If Toyota is good enough for isis and guerrilla warfare it's good enough for me

(Doesn't see Lexus here)
Cool.

People who say Mazda isn’t reliable because of the rotary engines don’t understand basic maintenance. My 1980 Rx7 has 130k+ miles and still has great compression as my daily driver.

"Most people that buy Toyota don't love Toyota... don't care much for cars"
I've done burnouts and launches in my 2011 Corolla and no one can stop me. Cars are as fun as you make them, Toyotas are no exception

"He likes Japanese engineering though. Hyundai is his favorite."
um, actually... never mind

My mom had a Toyota for like 10 years, it had almost 1 million miles on it and was still working so well when she went to get a new one she was debating wether or not she really needed a new one. I mean she is an engineer so she was able to take good care of it, but it’s still impressive it held up like that.

The Honda Civic isn’t boring, just put some flames and rims and bam instant fun!

"Slaps roof of Dodge:" Car Breaks down.
"Slaps roof of Honda." Belt noise stops and engine idle becomes smooth. 😂

[wilsonbakerr]

I like how almost every dodge was like a shitbox early 2000’s... Never heard of a challenger having any problems lmao

[daughterofsekhmet]

I and my Honda Civic approve of this video


Nissan really is the Dodge of Japan though. I had a NIssan Rogue before buying my Honda and there was always some little stuff breaking on it here and there, interspersed with big stuff. My mom has a newer Rogue with under 40k miles and it's already starting to make weird noises and drive rough.

They say we need to buy american to support national companies and economy but american car makers need to make better cars to support Americans.

Shade tree mechanic here. Buy a 1986-2004 crown vic if you want reliability and don't mind 16 ish mpg

[twinturbov]

My dad owns a 2005 Nissan Titan and he’s been driving it for 8 years without anything worse than maintenance being a bit confusing at times and taking more than a day, but most of the time the repairs are cheap enough. He installed airbags on it and now it can haul a ton of whatever in the bed and tow a 35 1/2’ trailer at the same time with ease.

I'm a car guy and certified tree shade mechanic and heres my experience.

2006 Chevy Impala. 186k miles before I gave it away. Ran great but did have a couple issues here and there specifically with oil leaks and weak trans.

2007 Ford crown victoria Police interceptor ex FBI car. Currently at ~240k running strong. Doesn't burn or leak any oil. Easily reaches 130 mph on the highway. No issues.

2000 Ford f250 7.3 turbo diesel sold at 340k miles and ran excellent.

2003 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7l Hemi. Engine blew at 199k miles. In the process of rebuilding it.

2018 Chevy Impala at 51k miles. Runs excellent.

I believe every car manufacturer makes good and bad models. Research the specific year and model of a car and see if there are common trend issues with that year/model.

Sold my '97 Accord to my best friend at 200k miles, he still drives it to this day. 350k+ running like a champ.

[Vikturus]

I love how unanimous everyone was when it came to FCA products.
