In 1979 I bought a brand new Jeep CJ7 with a manual transmission. I taught my girl friend how to drive a stick shift in that vehicle. When we graduated from driving it around the parking lot, we were ready for the street. We turned out of the parking lot and she started working her way up the gears. When she shifted up into 3rd gear, the shifter pulled out of the floor and she handed it to me. She stayed completely calm and asked me if it that was supposed to happen. I quickly shoved the shifter back into the transmission and kept downward pressure on the shifter until we made it back home. It was a fun vehicle but it sure lacked build quality. That girl friend became the wife and she always insisted on a car with a manual transmission, so it had a happy ending........ of sorts :)

I've worked with and around Japanese auto workers and I have to say they are the most committed, loyal, smartest and diligent people I've ever seen. They are like ants. Serious about their work and quality. They live it and it simply shows in their vehicles PERIOD. I thought about stating what I've learned about English and domestic vehicles, but it was much easier cutting to the chase. The people are the difference and there's no changing that. It's the one factor I've learned in the auto industry. Many just don't care and don't follow guidelines, protocols, work instructions etc., etc.,etc., I've Been in quality control on different management levels including 3rd party containment in hundreds of assembly plants and their many suppliers and can.tell you the people are the biggest problem. They don't care. The other issues are no consistency and also they change location of assembly plants, closing down. Moving around to be more efficient and save money or they have to in order to stay competitive. Your best vehicles are made at the same place, consistantly and their suppliers.

American workers used to be well-educated, even with no college. WWII American soldiers and sailors were the best educated fighters, because our public school systems were rigorous, not the woke, safe space child day care of today. This dumbing down of the workforce cannot help but take a toll on quality, which depends on *everyone* wearing a quality hat, not just the engineers and QC departments. Public schools get more than enough money to educate our next generation workforce, they choose to concentrate on progressive BS ("Holden- are you comfortable as a boy with a penis...?") vs useful knowledge.

Bad idea. He wasn’t even paying for it as usual just a controller. I ended up replacing 3 parts on that car before 30k and like you said cooling system issues HORRIBLE! Design failure in my opinion with plastic parts in direct contact with the hot motor that failed, coolant all over the place. Couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. I talked her into getting a Toyota Corolla 2017 SE and after 100k no issues at all. In fact the brake pads on one axle just got changed after 6 years (they were the original from factory) and the other axle pads are still good. 45 mpg on the hwy. not looking back cars paid for runs smooth.

@@jld7779It highly depends on the year. First generation cruze from 2011-2014 are particularly bad. Engine failures, transmission issues, coolant system issues, oil leaks you name it. I still see some on the roads however. Now they had most of these issues fixed on the 2015 model, which was the final off the assembly line for the first generation. So if you are going to purchase a first generation Cruze, get the 2015. The first second generation cruze that got off the assembly line in 2016 was one of the worst as well. 2017 had improvements. 2018 was perhaps the best year for Cruze. Few complaints, above average reliability score, very good reviews overall, decent durability and affordable. Indeed by 2018 Cruze became a good little car. The 2019 also a good model year for Cruze. By the time they had solved these problems, the reputation had been damaged and sales plummeted.

I love having the room in a van to carry my wife, and I, plus my daughter, son in law, and 2 grandsons when going on a road trip. Plus it's great for carrying my gear in the band. I can also pull a small utility trailer with it for dump runs, and hauling my 4 wheeler. Has it had issues? A few little ones. It has the gas cap alarm which is false as I bought a new gas cap and still have it. I also had one for the brakes. I brought that in and the mechanic said it's just telling me that my brake fluid is low/ but it's not, so just ignore it. So I have a couple dash alarms I ignore. Truthfully though, it is the most ergonomically comfortable vehicle I have owned. The seats are great for long trips, and I love the position of the arm rests. Like being in a Lazy Boy. I paid $5,500 for it and it had 113,000 km on it, and from what I have read, most people think the 3.3 is the best engine. So far I am pretty happy with it. I am easy on tranny's though so that might help.

I have a 2021 Mazda 3, naturally aspirated, with 19,500 miles. Mechanically, it has been sound. But beware of interior quality. The interior looks nice, but I have lots of buzzes, creaks, and rattles all over the interior. The driver's side seatbelt mechanism buzzes; the driver's side window buzzes; the driver's side AC vent buzzes; the center of the dash can creak; and there is some buzz or rattle coming from behind the glovebox. Currently, the infotainment screen is buzzing terribly; a common issue. Overall, the severity of the noises seems to depend on temperature, as plastic/metal parts expand and contract. Also, the see-thru plastic screen over the instrument panel has no protective coating. You literally cannot clean it without scratching it, no matter what type of wipes/towels/cleaners you use. Again, a common problem. Unfortunately, to replace the see-thru cover, you have to remove the entire dashboard, probably a $1000+ job. I would add that the exterior paint is too thin and chips very easily. And, since my car was new, its fuel gauge does not go all the way to full after filling the tank; the dealer refuses to fix it because he says there is no techincal bulletin from Mazda. At the very least, try to find a Mazda 3 made in Japan, not Mexico. Mine was built in Mexico, unfotunately.

I read a muscle car magazine article on GM's 200lb Turbo 400 & one on Ford's 206lb C6. Each of those were considered to be stronger than Mopar's 727. Many times, people considered GM's lesser stout Turbo 350 to be the same thing as the Turbo 400 & therefore a substitute for it. And some of those people got proven wrong when they manage to waste them because they ain't. Ok, ain't gonna argue with what you said about your dad's car managing to waste 8 of those 727s.

I would be scared to death to buy a vehicle with that flaw!!! I would also want to be in the lane furthest to the right so that if it does happen I can pull over, park it and run like hell away from it to a safe distance while I call the fire department, a tow truck, and my insurance company.

I have a 2010 mazda6 and 2015 cx5 both owned since new for over ten years and 150k . Neither vehicle has had any unscheduled maintenance or issues. It’s literally been gas and oil and both cars got brakes at 120k. I’m in a position now where I want something newer but I will keep driving these vehicles as long as they remain mostly unproblematic. They are the best vehicles I’ve ever owned and I worked in the car business for 14 years ( since the turn of the century. The Mzr 2.5 liter is the best modern 4 cyl I’ve ever used or worked on. They just work. It’s a simple car with low tech and I literally can get a 40k mile motor installed for 1k if it dies. They are so common because Mazda and goes out them in everything. The only problem I foresee is the cx5 has the newer d trans that isn’t as serviceable , but the Older 6 still has a drop and drain filter so you can change most of the fluid outside of the torque converter every 60k . It’s a simple spill and fill and these things can go on for well over 250k miles. I would not hesitate to buy another used one of any of the mzr 2.5 liters. The turbo models have more maintenance but just look at how many surviving Mazdaspeed 3 s there are with all that forced induction and still aren’t problematic. Mazda is the best all around car you can currently buy from a reliability and driving enjoyment . Toyota just doesn’t make the Camry or Corolla nearly as engaging and you have to pay so much more on the pre owned market. A 150k mile 2010/11 Camry is still 10 to 12k , for that same money you could step into a 2015/16 MZ6 with less than a 100k miles . They really are great vehicles and people will realize if Mazda can hang on long enough that they are the premier Japanese brand for reliability and ease of use. I was a Honda homer for years but transmission issues and this new engine platform has really hurt their reputation. The r18z 1.8 liter was horrendous in the civic and the L1.5 in curb, civic, accord is proving even worse. If you want reliability stay away from forced induction. The 1.5 turbo just eats oil and dumps fuel into the motor. While fuel is a detergent and lubricant in since no one designed to to go into the oil pain and dilute your cars life blood. It’s insane how bulletproof a k20/24 was compared to the bullshit Honda is putting out now. There’s a reason the two liter is less problematic. It’s still a k20 block.

I am currently driving my 3rd Elantra. I would still be driving my 2nd Elantra if it wasn't for an idiot who caused a chain reaction accident on the highway and the car was totaled at 70,000 miles. I had a high speed collision in that car, and I walked away with just some minor bruises on my left arm. My parents used to buy Chrysler and GM vehicles up until 2000 and had lot of problems with these brands. Then they bought a new 2000 Sonata, that car was rock solid. After several years my Mom said that the Sonata was the best car that she has ever driven, just needed regular maintenance and oil changes and that was it. The car lasted for over a decade in the Chicagoland area. My husband used to own a 2006 Sonata, that car lasted for 15 years, the only issues were the passenger sun visor broke, the back driver side motor broke, and one of the trunk hinges had to be replaced, all of this was after a decade. Hyundai had proven reliability with that car, so he bought a 2022 Elantra. My nephew also used to own a 2006 Sonata, that car lasted 13 years in Chicago winters, and just kept going and going. Strangely enough, the new car that I purchased that had the worst reliability was a 2007 Mazda 3. After the car was about 5 years old, I could no longer roll down the 2 front windows in the hot summer months. Both motors in the driver and passenger windows had to be replaced. The other issue I had with that Mazda was the AC died at 82K miles, needed a new compressor. And that was just the first time that the AC crapped out, it needed to be repaired a few times. Glad I had an extended warranty with that Mazda. But unfortunately the warranty expired due to mileage, so I had to pay for a couple of those expensive AC repairs out of pocket. The sad thing is that Mazda was such a fun car to drive with the stick shift.
