Why are Cavaliers so funny?
I have owned several chevy canobeers, and a couple of shitvetts
sure they got me around, doesn't mean they weren't total pieces of junk
just means they were pieces of junk that ran, even a yugo ran sometimes
My personal opinion is that all of the Econo-boxes by all manufacturers are total pieces of junk. However, my opinion, like yours has absolutely no bearing on the reality that most of these cars (or any car for that matter) are good at what they are supposed to be, and do, and will last and serve well, if not abused and given the care and maintenance recommended by the manufacturer.
Our personal likes, dislikes, and personal preferences don't change these realities. For every story of a car (any brand) not giving good service, there another of the same car giving great service.
I own 2 Dodge Diesel Rams, two Swingers. They are by far the cream of the crop, in my opinion. I also have a 2000 Silverado with 250,000 miles on it that has never had a major repair. In fact the only repair it's ever had was replace of the A/C compressor and that was at 226,000 miles. It's not a fancy truck, either. It's a long bed regular cab. It does have power windows, locks, mirrors, and cd player, but it's also plain white, steel wheels...
I've had it since new, and it's been a great truck. Saying that a Chevy has been a great truck doesn't diminish the quality and service and my opinion of my two Rams, and two Darts. If anything, it speaks to benefits of taking care of your equipment by meeting or exceeding the factory recommendations.
