Most American car models are trash tier quality.
They've mostly improved, with the exception of Chrysler/Jeep. Even Daimler was unable to turn them around. How Fiat could be stupid enough to acquire them from Daimler still boggles me.
Our Ford Escape had total transmission failure after 70000 miles! And the Mercury before that had transmission problems too. That 2015 model Ford broke completely while our 2011 model Mazda has never had a problem. They might look good but Ford does not make high quality vehicles.
Yep. I really tried to buy something American, but I ultimately decided against it.
My Subaru Forester has worked like a charm for almost 5 years, without a single mechanical issue.
The last time I bought a car, GM had improved enough that I bothered to test drive some of their models, tho I ultimately decided not to buy one. (Ford had already announced they were going to get out of the car business to focus (no pun intended) on trucks and SUVs, and I was wanting a car.)
