On my Japanese car I expect it not to leave me stranded, but anticipate all the rattles, plastic pieces breaking off etc. The craftsmanship isn't very good, but it'll drive out forever. That is what I expected from this car. My Toyota has almost 100k and leaks no oil or anyother fluid. The locks are starting to go bad, the sun visor broke, the paint is peeling in some areas (only six years old too), and the cup holder broke. It is plain looking, and getting uglier my minute but I can probably put another 150k on it easy. It serves its purpose. I wouldn't consider comparing it to the build quality of my Benz though.
