I think I’ll stick with Japanese cars (made in North America, though). Companies that not only honor their warranties, but regularly go beyond the stated terms of those warranties in the name of customer satisfaction. Yeah, even the Japanese sometimes drop the ball when designing things - for example the ‘03 and ‘04 Honda Accord transmission failures, but they replaced all those transmissions, and not just with more of the same ones that were bound to fail (hello, Chrysler minivan) but after determining the cause of the problem and redesigning to solve it.

Mom has a 2004 Hyundai and it needed only a marker light bulb replaced and a new set of tires ever since she bought it. I plan to stick with Ford but I'll give Toyota and the others a look too.
