@rogueally:

how is buying a used care giving money to a foreign company? If he was buying a new can then yea, but thats not the case. Or maybe i just don't know something that you know.

[RogueAlly]

You are american, therefor you should drive an american car. As you will be buying it used, foreign is okay... but don't make it a habit.

Hopefully that I've now bolded the text you can see what I was talking about.

Guys, this is about Muff's car. (lol) Stay on topic!

[RogueAlly]

Well we kinda are on topic. We're all ragging on cars and its possible he'll come to realize that all cars suck in one way or another and that you don't so much pick a car as pick what problems you want to deal with.

[MainEvent]

Damn it, now you made me off-topic.

from what i know, most American cars are way to big(most) and dont have any of the detail that euro cars have. Just don't base your buying decision on your American pride because it isn't helping America in any way. Japanese cars are easier to tune n sh*t like others said, so you might be interested in that to. If an American car is the best deal you can find then go for it.

Thats actually a fairly accurate list... although having a mustang high in insurance doesn't really make sense. Insurance is based on too many factors to just say a mustang is a high price (which it usually is... 2 door sports car, he'll be in the highest accident bracket for age, engine size in the car, and depending on the color the accident % will effect it too).

Anyhow, as we've all stated... all cars have faults. In my experience american cars work well. I'm only alive because my dad's bonneville back in the day was big and sturdy enough that when a bronco going 55 mph smashed into us (we were stopped on the highway) we didn't just get crushed between him and the car in front of us. A honda, mitsubishi, toyota, or saturn would have just folded. It's just a preference, and for you, one partially influenced by price.

omg youll probably die in a 95 civic....

Yeah cause Porsche makes such sh*t engines as well. Dont get the wrong impression though, Subaru's cant turn.

Just get a 4k honda/toyota (dont spend all of your money) and drive it till it dies. Dont do any "upgrades" and just keep doing the regular scheduled maintenance.

Problem solved Imho.

Oh shut up... It was a joke.

TO EVERYONE:

Take the argument of American cars versus everyone else to another place.

In all honesty, I will buy the car that suits me. I don't give a sh*t if it is American made or not. Especially because of what I need it for (gas saving), I won't buy an American car. I need upwards of 25-30 mpg. The American economy has bigger worries than foreign cars at this point IMO.

I think if you want to buy only US cars, it is a statement. I respect it, but I am probably getting a civic.

Namely, this one: linkage
