Get you a Rover. My old roomate had a Durango and it was in teh shop every time he put it in four.

a ROVER??? a BRITISH car???? SWEET JAY-SUSSSSSS!!!!

don't get me started on their electrical systems made by Lucas, also known in automovtive circles as "the price of darkness" because of their low quality control parts and a disconcerting habit of blowing fuses an inoppertune moments.

Yup......It's hard to break a Honda too.

 

[rnch]

yeh, after jags and bmw's and volvo's, hondas were a pleasant change. the uptown snobs look down their noses at jap cars, preferring their unreliable north european slugs. i heard all their thinly veiled put downs as they were being driven to their dealer's service department (again and again) in my reliable hondas.

once i bought a Dodge Mirada great looking car even after hearing Dodge was crap......well the car turned out to be crap so much i didn't trust it,had it completely checked over before leaving to the Smokey Mts for vacation.........guess what happened....thr right front brake caliper jams and sticks up on the blue ridge parkway....here we go rolling down the mountian smoke bellowing from the car i had to stop because the wheel was so hot the tire looked like it might explode-result-shitty vacation..........next summer...had car checked...back to mountians,hurricane hugo slams into S. Carolina...guess what happens....raining like hell,rivers washing out RV parks,The windshield wipers break. I had to get a coat hanger tie to the wiper and work it by hand in 20 degree temps this had to be done for the entire 8 hr drive back home...no one had the part-it was discontinued..
i now have a Nissan Maxima that i love........of course my 79 Jeep aint too bad either still has the original parts.built like a tank.

Over 60% of Land Rovers have been in the shop in the first 3 years of ownerships for unscheduled maintence or repair.

That is the worst of any vehicle sold in the US.

VW is next to worst. Buick had the least, followed by a few high lline Japanese cars. I have the complete listing.

Yeah we might take a look at the Ford Explorer. My friends dad got it and its a great car. My pops wants a car with tons of cargo space and a 3rdrow seat that folds down (like his durange). Another choice is the Toyota Sequoia(sp?)
