Toyota or Acura or Subaru.
If I need a fullsize truck in the future, it will be a Ford. If I need a fullsize SUV in the future, it will be a 98-99 GMC Tahoe or Suburban. |

 Truthfully. Chevrolet. I've had a few Fords and a few Dodges. I own and drive a Chevrolet. |

Yeah, fords are nice, there is just one feature I would like them to offer in their trucks though. Heated tailgates would be nice in the winter time, hands get kind of cold having to push them all the time. |

Chevy trucks for sure!
Fords still has never figured out how to build a decent engine. And don't try to tell me they're diesel is better than everybody elses. Because it's not a Ford, its an Intenational Harvester. |

FoMoCo ( FORD!)
 I will never buy another foreign vehicle. Even if it's assembled in the US the jobs that make the parts and your money still go over there!  Notice the Zero is a mitsubishi. I'll bet grandpa would not approve! |

Mopar or no car!
 Real Mopar though, RWD V8 or /6 powered. I've had/driven just about every US brand of car & truck at one point. BOP/Cad/Chevy/GMC, Ford/Lincoln/Mercury & even a few AMC thrown in. The only foreign car that has been in the household was an older Toyota Carina. Good little buzzbomb, great mileage, would buy another in a heartbeat. OTOH you couldn't give me a Ford Taurus or Tempo  , two of the biggest POS cars I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. |

I hear you and understand where you are coming from but why punish yourself? Most of the imports have less issues and are better cars. I own a Chevy truck and a Nissan car. The chevy is nice but it's always having problems. My nissan is always dependable. Besides, every domestic car that I work on has a FAIR number of parts made outside the USA. But it goes further than that, I'm a mechanic and I see this firsthand, and on a much larger scale. I wouldn't buy a car solely based on where it's produced, unless it's a better car for the money. The American cars for the most part are not close to the imports in value and refinement. I can't afford to be that selective. I would still buy an American truck over an import, but not a Ford, make mine a GMC. They are hard to beat. |

I've had nothing but GMs (they're cheap, and I can beat the hell out of them for a couple hundred thousand miles before they go tits-up).
That said, if I were to buy something new right, it would end up being an import of some form. Aside from the Corvette and GT, domestic cars all look like crap. |

Plenty of time to care more about the US and less about Japan.  Btw, I never have issues with my Fords either. My Merc has 165K and runs fine, my truck 100K, my expedition 80K. I guess if it was japanese it would have less than zero issues?

Are you a WWII Veteran? My grandfather was in Tokyo bay on the USS Proteus when Japan surrender. The previous 3 years he made 4 war patrols on the USS Gunnel. He drove a Toyota from 1986 until his death last year. He was a man. (edited out personal attack.--bigscrun) Warning sent. We don't play this game in this forum.--Bigscrun |

Chevy.
After my Grandpa got back from WW2, he went to the Ford dealership with some waiver allowing him to buy a new car before other citizens because of his service. The Ford dealer to him that he didn't have to sell him shit. That was 1945. My dad had 1 Ford in college that died a violent death because light pole+ ice+ 2wd truck= dead Ford. So, 1 Ford in 60 years. The rest being Chevy, GMC, Olds, Pontiac, and Jeep. I'm a Chevy guy, but I'll end up driving a damn Dodge when we get the motor back in and my dad wants me to sell my Blazer. It will be a sad day, indeed  WIZZO |

I have always had good luck with the cars I have owned. an escort with almost 190K which myself and my brother beath the crap out of, and a bunch of little FWD mopars.
They are cheap to fix, and easy to keep on the road even after 20 years. I dont think that you can go fater, for cheaper, while being more reliable. If you could, I would. |

I am a Honda/Toyota man for my primary vehicle because I demand low maintenance and high reliability.
If I were to tinker with a toy type/pleasure vehicle it would be a pre-1973 GM car. |

Considering only the "affordable" brands:
I like Fords in general. I like GM V-8 engines and auto trannys. I like Honda/Toyota build quality, brakes, manual trannys, and I-4/V-6 engines. My preference in exterior styling is all over the map. |

Truth is , I've been making a living working on cars
and trucks for better then 20 years . They are all pieces of shit in one way or another ! So after years of wasting my money them . I have come to realize that it isn't the brand or model that makes a great car . It's the completely random occurrence of getting a vehicle made up of well matched parts . It doesn't matter if it's a Yugo or a Bentley when that magical combination comes together . It just works . Me .... I only drive vehicles that other people have thrown away |

Well it hasn't broke yet, and its got around 240,000 miles on it. Yet it still rides and drives better than a Ford.

I've had Honda, Nissan and Toyota all are good but all had problems. I thought Toyota was bullet proof until I blew a head gasket in my 4runner I almost had to sell my guns to pay that bill.
 Next I'm going to try a Subaru WRX we'll see how that goes. L8ter
