Mitsubishi is the at the top of my list and it has nothing to do with the quality of their cars. I will never knowingly buy anything they have thier hand in. Neither should any American that knows their history. ymmv

I've heard they are not doing so well right now. They were growing at a rapid pace a few years ago, but it seems they are suffering in the US market now.

I can't help but laugh everytime I see your avatar

And so far, i love my mitsubishi, though the AC /heat is kinda broken, the knob was locked in place on AC because of some line bullshit
that happens in 02/03 lancers. 25-400$ fix

The ac is not very cold either.

Oh well, WHen I'm back home in MI, you don't need ac, you just open the windows, and i rarley used heat
anyway back home. But I'll get it fixed for like 200$ from some friends of my moms.

We'll see how well this lancer runs on the 4000+ mile ride home (as I'm taking the scenic route

)
Then its being sold and will be replaced with an evo VIII or IX

That mazda miata is a beauty for being that old. Looks like you have taken very good care of it.

Not familiar with Mitsubishi at all, what is their history? I do know they supplied dodge with a shitload of engines that had head casket problems big time but thats about it.

Goofy so called "patriots" are upset because Mitsubishi built the Zero.

GM does just about everything totally bass-ackwards compared to Ford (whoever thought it was a good idea to run the axle housing/shaft tube through the oil pan on the midsize SUVs with the 4.2 liter straight six should be killed)

Not to shit in your Wheaties, but Ford did exactly the same thing when they implemented AWD on the Sierra chassis in the UK (and parts beyond.) The XR4x4 diff bolts to the right side of the pan. Axle runs right through it.

Other than that small bone to pick, I'm a GM hater to the core. Preach it, brother.

Ford - Because I like working amd maintaining my own vehicles. Most of the repairs I have done on a Ford turned out to be a real pain in the nuts all day project.

Suburu - mostly for the reason above. ( Ever try to change rotors on one of thos mid 80s AWD grocery getters)

Hungay –– I just don't like em

Kia - Its what a ford shits out after it eats a hundai

Recently added GM and Chrysler. We all know why.

But there's no Sierra chassis in the US, so that isn't my problem (yet).
