I think Kia makes the best car overall!! Yeah right, I own one of their pieces of junk and trust me the things in the shop more than it's on the road. So much for their 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, they go through brake pads like nothing, I've had 3 sets in 55,000 miles and they only covered one set, I had to do the rest myself. Never buy a Kia. On another note, I went and ordered a Shortblock for the Mazda b2200, should have it up and running within a week or two. I thought the problem was in the head, but after diagnosing it a little more it was definitely the piston/rings. Since I only paid $800 for the shortblock, it made a little more sense to just order that instead of going through the rebuilding process. Take it easy

yeah, I guess you guys have a point on ford's being somewhat shitty. It's hard for me to face it, but two out of 3 of the fords we own are kinda problematic, the the third has had a few of its own. My dad had a Ford Taurus that he was lucky to sell for $750 a few years ago. It leaked oil, coolant, you name it. It stalled when we stopped at intersections. And, what was the most befuddling, is that my dad has driven like an old man his entire life, never using the brakes, barely ever pushing the gas. I drive a 93 Explorer XLT which I have been pretty pleased with, maybe because I haven't had to pay for the maintenance. It leaked coolant, so my dad had to get a new radiator a few weeks ago, which set him back a good $500. He also had to get the locks fixed on two of the doors, which cost him somewhere around $400 total. To the best of my knowledge, though, those are the only things we've had to pay for in my explorer, which is a good sign, considering it has about 145,000 miles these days. I hope to get another 30-50 thou out of the current engine, because I have put electronics in it that are worth about half of what the car would cost by itself. Anyways, I'm done with my ventilating.

I believe Ford is shit...... Dodge is ok....... Chev is pretty good

Now Hondas, this is my 2nd Accord......my first one hit 367 000kms......before I gave it to my cousin for his work car.....just regular oil changes and timing belts and replaced the brakes couple times and that was it......... Never replaced anything bigger than a oil filter on that car. So is my 97 Accord, drive the piss out of it everyday in the spring and summer......I could swear by Hondas and I think they are bulletproof.....too bad the new Accords and civics look like shit......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I honestly think ford has 2 shifts of engineers/designers/factory workers etc..that all swap out at the same time. One set designs and builds incredibly durable vehicles..the other set..well..sucks. I've got a 97' F-150 Lariat w/93K miles on it.5.4 V8 still runs like a tank, gets decent gas mileage for its size, and has had NO..I repeat NO problems other than the flasher for my blinker on the left side sped up to abotu 1.5 times its old speed.

haha, you guys are funny. yeah, I agree on the buy american thing though. ford, IMO, just hasn't come around to the whole "value" thing yet. But I honestly feel my explorer is a decent car w/ few problems. about half my friends have jeeps that all **** majorly.

You care about the american economy - thats good. What I'm worried about, and this is as a canadian, is the american president, who has his head so far up his *** he can't tell what he's doing.

President Bush is going to cause WWIII single handedly. In the past few weeks he has threatened Iraq with nukes, and also sent the CIA to MURDER al-quaida supporters. I say MURDER because he has no proof that ANY of these people have done anything against americans.

ATTN CANADIANS: We should brak our alliance with the US so that when the rest of the world retaliates against them we do not get hit as supporters.

I am not anti-american. At the moment I don't like the canadian govt either. but at least their mistakes are only costing money, not lives.

Last JD Power and associates rated it in this order for initial quality:

1. Honda

2. GM

3. Toyota

In my world, it's a car. It gets you to where you are going. I have a sporty one in the garage, and a realistic one I take to work.

Too bad Chretien has a stick up his *** and listen to that President. No matter what the US does it always seems like we are following there ***
