domestics are cheaper to fix.
It certainly did in my case. I bought into the "4 cylinders, Japan, RELIABLE!" myth. It has bit me in the arse. Now that I have replaced the axles,ignition,transmission,O2,cap,rotor,a few suspension bushings, all the motor mounts, transmission mount, radiator, I SHOULD be good for another 100K miles. Maybe.
