You've got the gall to criticize Toyota owners, have you ever heard of a
biblical quotation sat say's "remove the plank from your own eye before
condemning some with a speck in theirs"?

That is what I want from a car, that before locking the front door, I
know the car is going to start and get me to where I want to go
reliably.

I've had 7 Datsun/Nissan (same firm) over the last 30+ years, because
they were reliably though I'll never buy another.

I think that in the marriage between Chrysler and Fiat, it's one of
equals. Both equally poor.

That's why I've stuck with Toyota since the 70's. Don't have time to put
the car in the shop all the time. There are many times I have to get up at
0-dark-hundred and have to know I can walk out to the car and it's going to
start.
