Here we go again!!!!!
I have owned a ton of so called Domestics and had problems that were rediculous!
91 Camaro- electrical problems, leaks, clearcoat peel.
86 Z-28- Sensor malfunctions, bad clearcoats, rusty fasteners, interior leaks. In and out of the shop more than I drove it.
92 Cavalier Z-24- Bad clearcoat, rusty fasteners, cheap seats, electrical issues.
Fiero- left my wife to be stranded in a bad section of town. Fire hazard. Electrical issues.
So called Imports:
85 Toyota 4x4- I had this since 1985 and finally retired it this past January 2003, 18 years. Sold it cheap for $2500.00. Best vehicle I ever owned! Original water pump, clutch, transmission.
88 Acura Legend- 8 years and no problems! Annoying lifter tick was all I dealt with. Very nice ride! Rock solid still when I got rid of it in 2000.
1995 4 runner- Great truck and solid all around. No issues other than replacing the valve cover gaskets.
2003 Tacoma- This vehicle is more Domestic than your so called Domestics. It is manufactured in California. The engines are built in Cali and West Virginia. The body and plastics are made in Cali.. Issues so far, water leak drivers side, I repaired it with the Toyota Tech for warranty purposes, none after that.
I am very, very picky and do not want issues with my rides. My choice and clear winner so far is Toyota or Honda based on my experiences and favorable resale.
Happy travels!
