I've always owned Fords and GMs. Always had good luck with them. My wife had a Toyota when we first got together. It was alright,no better or worse than a domestic. Just alot more expensive to get parts for or have worked on. It met it's end when she was in a minor accident. The car was still completely driveable,but the parts were so expensive the insurance company totaled it. The idea that foreign cars are superior in quality to American cars is a fairy tale,imo.
