How reliable do you expect your car to be?

I know enough to know that it doesnt matter what you drive if it is driven as a "drivers" car then it is not that reliable...and even a civic is not good on gas when you plant the pedal...in the case of the civic you have to plant it longer..because it takes longer to get there. Unless it has money into the engine.....but then it still would compromise reliability and gas mileage.

The only reason I posted is that your statement is bold as well. I do agree that the engineering is typically better in an import, but, that is the nineties track record and domestics are rising to the challenge and producing better cars....did you know that buick had just as good or even better reliability history than anything on the roads?

For the record...I want to get a 1986 Corolla GTS with a TRD developed engine for road-track racing.
