Brand loyalty

I have the Duster mostly because I like the design of it and its something much more unique to drive around and to cruise nights. There aren't many of them in the seas of camaros, mustangs, chevelles and the like.

The rest of the cars I have owned are GM. The 2004 Colorado I have is easily the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. 104k and has only had one O2 sensor, a window switch, a running light plug, and two parking brake cables replaced outside of normal maintenance. Even the brakes lasted 96k miles. I have a '12 Cruze as a daily driver which is a super nice car and easily averages 34+ mpg over 17k miles.

Short of the 95 Blazer I had, all my GM stuff has been super reliable....basically change the oil and drive.

I also like Toro lawn equipment and Panasonic TVs
