Sad to say, but just about everyone I know buys Toyota, Honda and Nissan to get a better quality, period. It has nothing to do with "jealousy."
That is one of the lamest excuses of all of them. I have owned nothing but American cars and trucks........so has everyone in my family. Never had one single vehicle I would consider poor quality. My dad had a F150 that had some fuel injector problems that was fixed immediately. Poor quality is nothing more then a myth taken in by gullable consumers hook, line, and sinker. Funny how when a foreign care goes to hell it doesn't get someone riled up but if an American car gets a flat tire they whine about it to everyone who will listen.
When I think of how long a Toyota, Honda, or Nissan will last, I think of 250,000 - 300,000 miles. I know there's going to be tons of examples of people on here who have a GM or Ford who made it much longer --but when I think of the average lifespan of one of those, I'm honestly thinking it's 100,000 miles.
My point exactly..........pure myth. My truck isn't even scheduled for anything other then normal maintenence for 100,000. That's right......first check up is at 100,000 miles.
