We mostly had American made cars until 1999 when I was riding with a tow truck driver who was towing in my Buick Skylark. He said, “Get a Toyota, they’re bullet-proof.”
We did buy a Sienna, then a Prius, and now an FJ Cruiser. Have never had a moments trouble with any of them.
Ah, the old tow truck driver recommendation. Mine was worse, he said my car make was the 3rd of the day for him and he knows the dealer area to drop them off like the back of his hand :(
