Just between the Big three, GM has good transmissions and engines, Chrysler Styling and Ford body integrity (less rattles).

I have driven products from all three, they leave a lot to be desired.

Nissan was probably the most reliable brand until the turn around plan, harsh ride thou. Toyota saves money where average customer cannot see. Honda has wind and road noise issues and is average in almost all respects. Mitsubishi does not have anything of interest either.

I had a VW, not only is that unreliable but the drive is not any good either.

Suzuki, Kia etc. are still learning and trying to copy the big automakers. Maybe 10 years down the rode they maybe worth a look.

My W124 may have to do for now!!! Even with all the reliability issues with below average in quality, but above average in price dealerships.
