The bottom line is there are machines and they all break!!!!! I will say that generally speaking to my old roommate and brother whom both are service writers Honda, Toyota and Nissan hold up a little better , the negagtive is when they do break it cost a shitload of $$$. I bought domestic because I wanted a car that was semi fast to start!! I cant see dropping $5k to make a civic catch up to my z??? Just my opinion not out to insult anyone! Besides you could ve in a Yugo
