I'm less brand loyal today than I was in the past. I think most manufacturers make at least one decent to good engine/car. You can find flaws in all makes and models. Some companies do things better than others. Depends what you're looking for too. I think the quality gap has closed overall.
Are you brand neutral?

Mazda or Toyota. Though, I haven't bought a new car in 10 years and have no plans to do so in the near future.
I dislike being associated with some brands that makes me look old or snobbish, but I don't think it is the brand itself just the other drivers of those brands.
Pretty neutral, but it's generally been Ford trucks and GM cars in my home. I did have a period of Dodge turbo FWD cars, a BMW X1, an Infiniti G37x, and a TDI VW Jetta. I guess mostly I buy where I find a deal on a common vehicle.
We've owned more Hondas than anything else over the past nearly fifty years, but we've also owned many others.
Here's the list, which I think is complete:
VW 1
Ford 2
Chevy 3 owned + 3 co. cars
BMW 2
M-B 4
Subaru 3
Toyota 1
MG 1 (made in Abingdon, not China)
Datsun 2
Triumph 1
Honda 10
Most were good cars that I was happy to have bought.
If you can find something that will work for your use at a decent price, why wouldn't you buy it?

Wow thread necromancy! I posted this thread in Jan 2023. Since then I added 3 jeeps a Chevy and a Ford to my list. A 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2020 and 2024. Sold 2 jeeps and the Chevy and an Xterra so I'm down to 2 vehicles.
