Do not buy American. Get anything else.
Also, I had a '93 Subaru Legacy and it was an awesome vehicle for me. If I had been more responsible and gotten it's regular tuneup, it'd still be running today =P

I drove a 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis to 311,000 miles (from 267k) when my sister finally totaled it. I would have bet the house the motor had another 100,000 in it when she did it too.
Now I realize that that one car is not is not proof of anything, but I still see this car all over the place, late 80's for the years and almost always the Mercury, sometimes the - Crown Vic. They regularly have 200,000+ on them, and they're tanks. Perhaps it's because they're so cheap and easy to work on, but that can be just as important as 'shouldn't ever break but will be really expensive when it does'.
I'm just not buying the 'american cars are shitty' routine
