I miss my TJ so much

this list is bogus,

I had a 95 Jeep for 5 years and didn't have a problem with, hell I even hit the 300k mark with it. I've also had a mustang, no problem.

Currently I own an Audi A4, and again, not one problem, runs a bit rough in winter for the first 2 minutes but that's because she doesn't like cold........

Since we have a bunch of Jeep owners here... anybody need some bumpers? I still have the stock bumpers from my TJ in my garage and would like to get rid of them. They were only on the truck for a month or so and are in great shape. If you want them please PM me.

Ohh The beauty of All-Wheel Drive...

Right now I drive Chrysler's b/c my dad works there. I get 2 new cars every year...so I'm not going to complain! Number 26. on the list, not TOO bad.
26. Chrysler: 34.90%

When I buy my own car though I wanted to get Mini. Number 9. on the list. That's not good!
9. Mini: 21.90%

Like Lisa, I want the Mini Cooper S even I was brainwashed in my family to support Chevy. (I'll buy an old '67 Vette Stinger, when I have the funds)

...but owning the Suburu STI, Mitzi Lancer EVO, or even the Ford Focus RS (from Europe) would be fun as hell!

why would you say it's not good? It's a lot better than the Chrysler.

Oops...I read the list wrong.

imports ftw!

my toyota corrolla is holding strong...just rusting to death! lol

I wouldn't take this list to seriously...

There are so many other factors that come into play. I personally believe it depends on the driver.

My driving compared to a Sunday Church driver would be a lot different. I drive my car hard and would probably need repairs sooner than some old grandma who drives the car once in a while.


Let's just say the Honda has been in the shop way more than the BMW...

I would say maintenance is even more important. You can drive your car hard, but if you take care of it, it'll run well. Unless you get unlucky with it. Some cars are just gremlins - no matter what you do they keep breaking.

My Impreza is the best car Ive EVER owned, and Ive owned quite a few in my years. Japaneese cars that are actually made in Japan seem to be really well built.

That is also true. Maintenance plays a very important role. If you maintain the vehicle, get it properly inspected, oil it when it needs to, keep it clean, avoid rust, etc. the car should keep working.

But its true, if you get a lemon, your screwed! My GFs dad had a Jag, and his car had to of been a lemon. No matter what he did, it kept having problems.

But then, Jags were never the most dependable of cars. I'd say their takeover by Ford has significantly increased their reliability.

Hmm...I drive a Mazda...that was built by Ford..so I'm either good to go or fcuked.

Depends on where it was built. My mom has a 2000 Protege, and its engine was built in Japan. We haven't had one problem with it yet.

Its a 2006 mazda6s, which is the V6. All the V6 cars were built in NA. Only the 4 cylinder ones are built in Japan.

how is mazda #1 on that list

I know this list isn't Canadian, but considering how old my car is, I really am surprised that I haven't had to put THAT much money into my Cavalier.
