Ok, so I have always owned domestic... and I have always regretted it.
I love my current car (Grand Prix GTP) but it has been in the shop so much that I am quite certain I am putting my mechanic's kids through school. My previous cars (both GM) were much the same. Everyone I know with Japanese cars have far fewer problems, so I am seriously considering it when I get a new one.
That being said, my wife's tempo has been an amazing car. I have spent less on it in 5 years than I spent on my car last month.
While we're on the reputation topic, I do buy other stuff by reputation. Did I need to buy Cisco kit at work for 50-ish machines? No way, but it's got a good name. Same with my servers.
Brands that are big names are big for a reason. They wouldn't have gotten big if they produced shit.
