Government Motors may still have some quality issues. Maybe some of this is politically correct propaganda, though. Is the F-250 that bad? I have an F-150 with 90k miles and no problems yet.

Cadillac CTS = Absolute POS.

Dumped mine in December for a Japanese make. I’ll never own another GM product. Never.

Slacker (LOL), my 96 ford areostar went 319,000 before I had to put it out to pasture last week.

I’ve got a 2006 GMC Canyon (aka Chevrolet Colorado) and I love it. I’ve had problems with the radio (the CD quits playing, won’t even attempt to play some CD’s), the engine freaked out at 30,000 or so (some computer component), the 3rd tail-light leaked water, and now the A/C control stops working on #2 or #3, sometimes - sometimes it just kicks on!

However, even with ‘all that’, it’s been a great truck. I’ve had good service from the dealers I’ve taken it to (since purchasing it in Aug 2007, brand new with 90 miles on it). I just turned over 69,000 miles today on it.

My wife’s car. 2008 VW New Beetle Convertible. Less than six months after we got it the A/C compressor went out. Other warranty issues, computer had to be reprogrammed (dash indicators not working), tip-tronic shifter switch bad, both door lock switches broken, and a headlight that I couldn’t get to to change it.

Last time I buy a Mexican built German car.

Well, two of the vehicles on the list I can personally vouch for as excellent vehicles. I had an Aveo that i used as a commuter car doing 80 miles a day through the mountains and snow. Never had a problem, ate the snow and ice better then my 4X4 ever thought of doing. It now belongs to my daughter and has 100 K plus. I also own a Colorado and love it. No complaints. Both were bought prior to it becoming Government Motors of course. Remember that Toyota was a favorite for years to a lot of these surveys....

The worst car I ever owned, by a MILE, was a 2000-2001 Buick LaSabre. The engineering was so bad as to be embarrassing. I doubt anyone would fess up to being involved with the design of that clunker.

For example... you had to disconnect one of the engine mounts to put on the accessory belt.

Funny, I bought an aveo for the Missus three years ago. So far it has been a pretty reliable car for us. Less problems than the sunfire she owned previously. Having said that I bought a used 2005 new beetle and I have been quite impressed with that little bugger, too.

FWIW

This is Consumer Reports. Their data are worthless.
