a single American car that has the performance and reliability track record of the Accord.
I've not had a problem.
My last pickup was a 1991 Dodge Dakota. I sold it at 345,000 miles. The guy that bought it still drives it. It just got too small for me.
I them bought a 1995 F-150 (used) with 104,000 miles on it. It now has 410,000 miles on it and is still rolling just fine. It does eat brakes every 40,000 or so miles though.
Neither of these have had any major problems other than normal maintenance, and 2 water pumps and an A/C compressor on the Dakota.
We have a 1995 Thunderbird that we bought new. It has 145,000 miles on it and looks and drived brand new. We have done nothing to it other than normal maintenance.
I could go on, First car 1962 Chrysler 230,000 when it reacted to the tree I tried to insert into the body.
1969 Dodge 265,000 miles (I did wear out the front suspension on this one - lack on maintenance)
1967 Chevelle - not too good of a car here.
1975 Pontiac - New 295,000 miles when gas just got too high. No problems with it.
1987 Thunderbird Turbo coupe. new 195,000 miles with no problems.
1992 Dodge Daytona New - rolling pile of scrap.
1994 Nissan New - Scrap
1990 Mustang new, 110,000 miles one it when I sold it - no problems, looked and drove like new.

Cordially

Yep, all GM's I've owned have been great. Somebody talked my parents into buying Camry's and Accord's, so a couple years ago they bought two brand new Camry's and one new Accord. They say the engines have been good quality but all the other parts i.e. transnissions, brakes, elctrical parts are always having problems.
