Thes are not cars; this is a list (compiled by a pair of public-radio liberals, BTW) of “driving appliances.”
They overrate several of these particular models’ reliability, and ignore the fact that they all drive the wrong wheels (in the case of the Subarus, they are AWD, but they are FWD-based AWD, which is different from, and inferior to, RWD-based AWD or 4WD).
I don’t blame the manufacturers, though. It is our idiotic government that has foisted these things on us, due to CAFE regulations.
Hmm Had a 74 Alfa spider that did over 300k miles And a 76 Pacer Sportwagon that did over 225K miles. You cant kill a 258 AMC Jeep motor.
