I love my hybrid vehicles. Are they fun to drive? Not really. Yet they are just so reliable and they are great values. I have 80K miles on my 2010 Prius, only thing I have had to do is change tires, oil and replace a bad hatch strut. Car is as solid as ever and it gets 50mpg.
I had a MR2 turbo, I thought the car was overrated. It wasn't reliable and the driving position is just weird. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to shift the pedals closer to the center of the car! |

I've driven only Toyota's minus a Dodge Dakota as my first vehicle. Last one being a Toyota Tacoma I traded in on the Z. I do miss that truck.

I'm a Honda guy all the way, integra prelude s2000 i owned. Even though Honda sucks now no more economy enthusiast cars or rwd.. But they still own Nissan in terms of quality it's not even close. Toyota for sure too although I like the old Tacoma and supra only.
I really hate to bash Nissan so much but dam they cheap out in so many places |

Yeahhhhh... I agree... My biggest thing with Nissan, that inherently every Nissan has, WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE TO RATTLE?!?!?! My damn headliner rattles!!! And I know the 370Z is a sports car and we "want to save weight" but why can't you put SOME sort of insulation for the sound???

dude i got a 2005 Frontier, the seats rattled the paint chipped off. The tranny jerked around the gas mileage was embarrassing. The only good thing was a 4.0 VQ Engine that had torque. We still have the truck just to have a truck but no way in hell does it compare to a Toyota Tacoma..

But used ones wouldn't be as expensive either! I'd love to be able to pick up an 1998 MKIV Turbo with the targa top.

i dont hate them, but i do have bad memories of my parents' 1990-1991 toyota 4 runner which had the most mechanical issues out of all the cars we owned but on the other hand the 96 corolla that we owned for a short time later on was an overall good car especially when it came to MPG's
