I will never buy another American car again.

I have a Ford and in my 5 years of ownership, I have had the air conditioning/compressor go out twice, the tape deck go out twice, the moldings on the outside of the car turn from black to a faded gray, a vibration in the engine that shakes the whole car when I'm in idle, and breaks that make "chugging" noises like a train when I stop (I've had them checked out four different times and the mechanics cannot find anything wrong...they say it's just a "Ford problem"...my friend has the same car as me and her car does it too).

My sister has a Honda Civic. It is a '99 just like my car. Besides normal maintenance, she has had no problems with her car.

My dad has a BMW and mom has a Lexus. They have never had any problems with their cars.

There is a good reason that American cars have a bad reputation and until they can make a car that is comparable to the foreign cars, I will never buy another American car.
