for repost nazis i serched for power and dependability

pdf of release


ford brand is only 6 complaints behind bmw?

nice to see MB is worse than mitsubishi


nissan is at 275, good thing i have one that is three years old... i think this is their worst year in a long time... the guy at the honda dealer when i was looking for cars 3 years ago was right, nissan (then losing money) was cutting corners

and lets hear it for audi at 312 problems per 100 vehicles! at least its better than vw at 335!

is that, no way it cant be, not in hell..

buick and cadillac 4th and 5th on the list? you mean a domestic? reliable?

and the top 3 list has been out for a while NFS4 posted it.

Domestics are the most reliable in the car world, i wonder how that happened since domestics suck.

btw, you wont find any domestic haters posting anything because they cant prove that study wrong.
 

Nissan makes neat cars but I think at this point I'd rather own a Ford vehicle. I can't believe MB fares worse than Mitsu though, I always figured Mitsu was the bottom of the pile.

Buicks and Cadillacs are up there because the average owner is 103 years old..though the recent Caddys have brought the age down a bit..still the price keeps it out of reach of the average young, enthused driver.

Domestic hater reporting in.

I can't argue with a pretty graph but from experience of owning multiple domestic and foreign cars, domestics suck.

I had less trouble with a 16 year old foreign car with 300,000+ miles on it than I did with a 3 year old domestic with just over 100,000 on it.

I don't see how that's a fair statement when I've tried both and made an objective decision based on that. What else should I do? Is my experience not the most objective/democratic way of going about making a decision?
