Hey Shadow... i know you like GM... and I was going to bring up the "how you take care of the car effects the reliability more so than anything else". put the data is still there... and while GM is at the top of the list for American cars.. its still under quite a few import brands... i'm talking about the "problems per 100" data... GM, then Chrysler, then Ford.. but they are still so far behind toyota, honda, hyundai, lexus... the list goes on, and includes subaru.

My favorite test though is the used car lot test. Go to a certified used car lot (one that is affiliated with a new car dealer). Look at the trucks on the used lot...if you are at a Ford dealer I bet you will see mostly fords and a couple of dodges...maybe ONE chevy, if it's a dodge lot you'll see alot of dodges, maybe a few fords, however at a chevy lot you will see lots of everything but chevys. Does this mean they are more reliable? Not necessarily. It doens't really "prove" anything. I just find it very interesting that lots of people trade in fords and dodges on chevys, but far fewer trade in chevys on anything but another chevy. Oh and by the way, you used "Hyundai" in a sentence about good reliability. You should probably avoid that in the future if you want to look like a sane human being. |

Problems per 100 is really only a showing of production quallity, not durability, because it covers only new cars. The only new car I can really remember is my parents suburban, and I was in fifth grade when they got it. It must have had at least a dozen warante covered problems, but once it was past waranty it was fairly reliable, the main problems were a traney at 70k, the TH400 should have lasted longer than that, but I guess ya get that every once in a while..an engine at 100k, problems with the alternator 2 or 3 times, and power windows that just...suck but those are GM truck power windows. Last I drove it probably 6 months ago it had arround 170k on it. Oh yeah, the stickey throtle that just won't go away but it's not my car...
