Well, I'm also a Honda owner, and I'll never even consider a Ford, GM, or Chrysler vehicle. I bought a brand new Chevy truck back in 97, and had nothing but troubles from day one. Many things broke within a week. After a week the passenger door rubbed the front fender every time it was opened. The list could go on and on with the problems that I've had. My truck was in the shop every week for the first 4 months I owned it. I've known others who have bought Ford and Chrysler, and most of them have had similar problems. After that truck I bought Jeep then a Civic si. Even my Jeep gave me problems, and it was brutal on gas. I have never had one single problem with the Civic. Change the oil, new brakes, and that's it. I know my car will never give me problems, and that's why people buy foreign.
The funny thing is my Civic was built right here in Ohio. It is American made. It's just foreign owned. I wonder what the difference is. My next vehicle will be another foreign car. The quality is just better, and they last longer. It's a no brainer for me.
So I guess my decision has been made by research/personal experiences and reputation.
