I rode in Hyundai Pony taxis when I was stationed in Korea before the company came here. Still had a choke on the dash.
“I’ve had mostly Fords since I owned the disastrous 1975 Chevrolet Nova.”
Had a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Great ride, good power, would break sitting in the driveway. A real polished turd.
Then there was GM not honoring warranties on 2007 and 2008 Impalas.
Bought a 2008 Ford Escape. It was so underpowered that it mangled the transmission trying to run highway speeds.
Currently, I drive a 2018 Hyundai Sonata. Excellent car, great gas mileage, very affordable. Hyundai, a Korean company, gave me $1000 off for being a veteran. GM and Ford do not offer that incentive. Go figure.

The last GM product I owned was a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am with a three speed automatic transmission. I bought it new for my wife, have four miles on it when we got through test driving it. Before I had 20K miles on it I was on my third set of brakes and the dealer was telling me I needed new rotors. The dash squeaked like Styrofoam rubbing together to the point of driving you insane. All these issues were brought to the attention of the dealer and they “worked” on them allegedly.
My wife complained it wouldn’t hold the road when wet and I said let me drive it on a skiff of snow one day. She took my old 1987 Nissan 2 door Sentra which went through snow like a mountain goat. I made a slow ponderous turn in the Grand Am, the speedometer wasn’t even registering speed and I was off the brakes and gas and I was suddenly making the turn sideways.
After my third trip to the dealer for the incessant dash rattles and squeaks I took it to the nearest Honda dealer and traded it for a Civic and told my wife to kick me in the butt if I ever mentioned buying another GM product. The fact that they are now Government Motors makes my hatred of them even worse.
I currently drive an 06 Mercury Grand Marquis that just rolled over 96K miles. Biggest issue with it has been air bag sensors going bad. I have replaced the seat belts on both front seats to the tune of $300 each. Otherwise it’s been a champ.
