Theres my top five picks...as for reliability of a domestic vs. import...i'm pretty sure it goes both ways. Example, my dad drove a 87 Toyota Corolla till it had over 250k on it, sold it in Cali for $1,000...my mom had an old 90-something Mercury Cougar with 325k before it finally died. I have a friend who owns a 92 Civic hatch with 130k and he's had to replace the tranny, clutch, head gasket, and then the ominous Honda-rust that develops under the paint on nearly all Honda's from the 80's till the early 21st century models. I also have a friend with a late 80's early 90's model Ford Escort with 560k with original engine, tranny, and most of the major componenets. Then theres a kid with a 95 Honda with 210k and all he's had to do is replace the exhaust. So whats the moral of this story? Well first of all, your going to have to fix things, replace things, no matter who made the car, regardless of whether its import or domestic. Its just that you hear less about imports breaking down, and more on how domestics suck in every way.
