They ALL have their moments.

Very good point. We are forgetting that imports arent made of pixie dust and gold. Theyre just as flawed as our cars.


However, the overall point is being missed. The imports have a lower failure rate.

In the pre-daimler days my cousins delivery business had over a dozen caravans which all had routine oil changes and standard maintenance done on them. While the occasional alternator or water pump went out he was able to get an average of 300,000 miles on the entire van with the exception of the 150,000mi on the transmissions.
