Yeah; the Vega was my first and last American car. Followed it with an '81 Plymouth Champ (aka Mitsubishi), which was more reliable but prone to weird and recurring electrical problems. After that, it's been Honda all the way -- which have their own weird quirks, but at least the average Honda mechanic knows what they are and how to fix them. Nobody knew from Mitsubishi in those days.
