Everyone’s experience is different. Myself, I have about 6 years and 80 thousand miles across two American cars, and the most serious issue I had in all this time had to do with easily damaged dashboard paint and being unable to buy an exact match in any auto parts store (I ended up paying $75 to a mechanic to have it fixed).
On average, American cars are not much less reliable than cars from other first-world countries.
[quote]Well I like the Corvette and Viper- top sports cars. I think between USA, Germany and Italy the funnest coolest cars around. Of course the Nissan GT-R is one hotrod as well.[/quote]
Corvette is nice. I like the HUD and the dashboard computer system. It’s convenient to see text messages instead of icons (e.g. “LOW TIRE PRESSURE” or “ABS ACTIVE”) and to be able to see things like tire pressure readings from each tire with a few button clicks. It gets close to 30 mpg highway as well.
GT-R is supposed to be a monster, especially when it comes to track racing. Four wheel drive and sophisticated electronics. Unfortunately, the price tag is such that I won’t even bother to test-drive one.
