Foreign cars ARE better than domestic. Even Korean cars are better than most GM offerings, and all Chrysler. The reliability over time is the difference. I know noone with a Toyota ready to get rid of it before 250,000 miles. Let’s hear from all those 4-cylinder and V-6 FWD Malibu owners who’ve made it a quarter million miles on the original engine and transmission.
B.S.
I have a 1989 Chevy Astro with 316,000 miles.
I also have a 1996 Ford explorer with 272,000 miles.
And my 1968 Chevy Camaro will blow away any thing that’s ever come out of Japan or Korea.
Buy your foreign crap, I’m sticking to American.
I owned a Malibu and gave it to my daughter.
It’s no longer a Chevy Malibu.
It’s a Napa-Autozone Malibu.
I’ve had to replace all the Chevy parts.
With all that work, it’s managed to make it to 160K. I visit the Malibu more often than I visit my daughter, unfortunately.
Oh, yeah.
My Mazda has 180K miles and I haven’t had to do anything to it beyond a set of brakes and regular oil changes.
