OK maybe a Corolla was a bad choice!!! If I had to choose American it would be a Ford F150. But I've owned them all, and no, sorry to say, Toyota slays about every American car in reliability. All of these without a single major repair other than brakes, muffler, CV joints:
Highlander 365,000
Highlander 370,000
Land Cruiser 390,000
Tundra 290,000
My 4 Runner now has 90,000 miles only one set of rotors were replaced.
Then resale and trade in value really shows you where the smart money is. OK this is off topic. Flame away at me!!
