Own a Toyota Tacoma with not a single problem at 85k miles, and love it.

I own a 99 Toyota Corolla and the transmission went out at 74,000 miles. My sister has a 2000 Toyota Camry and her transmission went at 61,000 miles. IMO Toyotas are pieces of junk. They may have been well built in the past, but not today. I would never buy another Toyota again.

Hmmm. I wonder if 20 years of people falling over themselves congratulating Toyota on their quality has resulted in them getting complacent about it?

I've never been as impressed with Honda as many people seem to be, either.

OTOH, I've owned several Nissans, and their drivetrains have been virtually indestructible. Over 200,000 miles on my (5 speed manual) '87 Nissan Multi (Stanza wagon) before I finally replaced it. The rest of the car was falling apart, though. Nova Scotia road salt (they use lots 'cause it's cheap there, as it's produced there) and a couple of minor fender-benders to crack the paint resulted in a seriously rusting body. The rest of it was falling apart, too. It seems to have been an anomaly for a Nissan though, as the others I've owned have been more durable.
