urban legend of GM quality? not so much
i know one guy that as soon as he gets out of school is getting nothing but imports
V6 camaro headgasket went at 86k miles, and has had VARIOUS other problems
his girl's alero leaks coolant and oil and it has ~50k has many other problems also
meanwhile my mom's mitsu expo, had a clutch and alternator done at 200k miles...now it has 245k doesn't burn oil or anything
my corolla was BEAT TO HELL people can attest to this. all i ever did was swap the transmission. 241k and still no oil consumption.
GM and ford make shit. i would buy a truck (MAYBE) or a z06 or something along those lines. and thats it.
people say GTP because of bang for the buck, this is a performance oriented board, a supercharged sedan is obviously going to be a favorite on this board, and is sucessful on here because its one of the few in its class. i'd rock an accord over a GTP any day of the week if we were talking about daily drivers.
