I gurauntee that lsit is just as long for any new production car. OP mad because the ****** and speedometer cable both went bad in his 5 yr old honda.

Well I can think of one car that only had ONE problem the new civic si when that came out the ***** had a problem other than that everything was fine but yes first years are usually trouble a bit.

It actually does make sense, I wouldnt expect someone that drives a 13 year old girl's dream to understand though...

Yeah, it's kind of funny. He found the Camaro to be junk, but then he bought a mitsubishi.

Been said already, but buying a year 1 in any new Gen is stupid.

This just about covers it, always issues with 1st year new gen vehicles. Plus its cheaper to wait a couple years.

Yep, everyone should know that.

lol u mad

Also, if Japanese cars weren't better than American cars, why would all of our manufacturers be going belly up?

Face it, "AMERICUH" isn't #1 at everything. Manufacturing good quality vehicles at reasonable prices isn't going to happen because of our standard of living and the costs associated with such. In fact, most of the assembly and manufacturing of the parts is done in Mexico...

...so how do you like your Mexican cars?

The only thing i don't understand is how naive or stupid you are, actually probably both.

The fact that a car is manufactured under cheaper conditions has no bearing on the consumer level price of an import car vs. domestic. MANY reasons for this.

1. The end level of quality of the cars the same, an import would be more expensive thus everyone would buy the domestic.

2. The import duties that go straight down the gullet of good ole US and A.

3.Cost of transportation and shipping.

4. Only a -9% minimum valuation of the US dollar in Japan, compared to a -35% in Mexico, where the parts for your domestics come from.

5. The fact that American cars are slipping in quality not competitive pricing...

I was considering a Camero over a 370z. The camero is a car that for about $15,000 less, gives more HP and torque than the Z yet from 1 test drive I recognized the build quality and design not worth the already extremely reasonable price point. I wouldn't buy a camero unless i had an EXTENSIVE warranty and never had to pay for maintenance myself.

6. American cars receive a much higher markup than imports for a seemingly shittier car. (american greed! ftl its what the country is founded on and the biggest driving factor in the US economy.)

7.take toyota Vs. honda... 2 VERY comparable products with honda only being a tiny bit more expensive in general. and most people would agree that any higher cost of the honda has it worth. Toyotas are manufactured in the US today. yeah still a shittier car costs more than the import after all the taxes, additional cost for better production, costs of import and markup.

8. Import cars are saving our economy, not destroying it. If it wasn't for them, you couldn't afford to drive.

9. Your "domestic" car is most likely made with more foreign made parts than domestic.

10. Where the **** did this so harshly "isolationist" idea of how the US should be come from. Want to strengthen the US economy? Come up with an idea that increases exports. Exports = Power.

FWD = Phail, esp on those eclipses, they ARE better than the previous gen tho

I tested one too. they were so cheap i was considering one over a 350z, until i actually drove it...
they are crap.

There is a difference between looking cool and unique and being ergonomic.

My test drive of the V8 model of the car was on my top 5 list of biggest disappointments in a car.

and then you bought a lcar made for 16 year old girls anyhow, so it didnt really matter, did it?
