I drove a Chevies for more than 40 years, but my last GM vehicle, a Chevy Blazer, had so many problems starting within the first week I owned it, that I sold it bought my first foreign made vehicle a Mazda. My Mazda 3 with just short of 120,000 miles has had zero repairs and even the brakes and exhaust system are still factory original. The is no way I would ever by another GM product.

Good move. I put 205,000 miles on an '02 Honda Accord, and the only problem I had was with a catalytic converter. I sold the car last year to a friend of a friend, and I believe it is still going strong.

Now that sounds truly amazing. No repairs of any kind? Not even a little nitpicking nothing?

I come from a long line of GM owners. My last daily driver GM was an 83 K 10 4WD pickup that lasted me from 1991 until 96. Since then it has been imports and one ford. The only GM around is an old bucket 77 K5 blazer that I bought cheap and crank up every so often. It has a radiator leak and a transfer case I have somehow stuck in low range.

My sister bought a used Chevy Blazer for $3,000 then spent nearly $7,000 fixing it......
