take for instance my corolla. its an 86 gt-s with the stock blue hat 4age that is came with. it has sat un driven and unstarted for almost 3 years. i just got it running oday and it started right up on old ass gas and i didn't here a single knock!! all i'm saying is that why deal with inferior products when you can have the best!! no other car company can touch Toyota's build quality PERIOD!!! nissan and honda are a tie for second. mitsubishi/ mazda for 3rd. if you don't under stand where i'm coming from then you have never taken apart an engine to see how it was desighned and what kind of materials were used. toyota is the best. its not only my opinion but its fact too.
