I've owned them all and had pretty good luck with all of them. The worst was a Datsun (pre-Nissan) mini-truck that I bought used and abused. But I half expected the problems considering the previous owner.
Bought a Dodge import mini after that and it lasted four years until I sold it to move to Utah. Replaced it with another one when I got here. It lasted six years and I sold it when it blew a head gasket. Moved up to a full size pickup with a manual tranny F-150, 302 V-8.
That one lasted almost 12 years and 200,000 miles, but went through two trannies and three clutches in the process. One of the trannies was the dealership's fault, they made a small leak into a big one, dropped a gasket into the tranny and never got it out, but turned it bak to me as "fixed." Thousand miles later (on one freeway trip) it went dry and welded itself into a solid lump of ground steel - at 75 mph. Fun ride, that.
Twenty years in Utah and I'm only on my third vehicle. I call this 2000 Dodge my "Durabledango" GREAT vehicle. I have 82,000 on it now, and will have 90 by mid-August. I may have it another decade.
