I would definitely buy Japanese over American.
Is Mazda a thing down there? They're pretty decent cars, for the kind of size you seem to be looking at. |

Honda City, Nissan Versa or a Citroën C4 |
Out of that list I'd say honda. Nissan is pretty much renault in japs clothing, expensive to maintain, I have experience of poor reliability. Citroen is pretty much hit or miss. I had a very good modified saxo VTR (sports hatch) with no problems for years and many miles, but there are still a few citroen lemons out there. On the plus side it's always cheap and easy to fix.

Eventually decided to ditch the French cars (also saw a Renault Fluence later on, but it was too much of a petrol guzzler).
Last question: What about Chevy's? The sole reason we haven't settled for the Nissan Versa yet is because we found out it is very similar to a Chevrolet sold exclusively in emerging markets called Chevrolet Cobalt. The only reason we're even considering a non-Japanese car is because Chevrolet is the most popular car brand in Brazil right now, so it is easier to get new car parts should we need some. And because the Americans got to the freaking moon, so I guess they know a thing or two about transportation :D
Here they are, in case you want to know what the Cobalt looks like:
(yeah, neither of them is exactly a "looker", I know) |
German TUV report often give a nice indication regarding reliability as they categorize it over years. Especially when cars get old you can see all the Japanese types appear at the top of the list.

Mazda, but also Mitsubishi are on the same level as Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Mazda maybe even at the top of those.
Not much left of that moon travel advantage I think :)
I'm not sure about Chevrolet. Over here they mainly are Korean and not very good. But since General Motors also owns Opel/Vauxhall they could use Opel's technology, which is good.
At this moment PSA (Peugeot and Citroën) is taking over Opel/Vauxhall from GM by the way.
Depending how long you want to drive it, it would be good to have a look at secondhand prices as well for those brands. Cheap parts and availability is also important, expect if you don't need new parts :)
To be honest in the model range you are looking at I think there won't be a lot of difference and expect competition to be close to each other. They don't have all the fancy stuff that's expensive to replace when broken. Probably you also need a bit of luck.
I do expect some Adidas striping at yours though :)

Why? Marcus is not really looking for a Ferrari, Lambo, Pagini, Bentley, Aston Martin, Rolls, or McLaren.
That's the only reason that I can imagine a list with Italian and British cars at the top. |

| SYSTEM-J |
I was amazed by how driving Guy J was last night. All the sets I've ever heard from him online are really atmospheric and light, but he spent most of last night in nasty prog bassline territory.
planetaryplayer, if you're reading this between taking noxious s: would be interested to hear in more detail why you don't like him as a DJ. There were a couple of things about his mixing that I didn't really like, but overall I really enjoyed myself. |
