Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2263954, member: 271"] I buy new cars and dump them in 2-4 years because I like reliability, new safety features and honestly, I just like new stuff. I'm not really a fan of knowing some sweaty stranger farted in my driver seat a couple thousand times before I took over. Hondas have been nearly flawless for me over the years. Accords and Pilots were both fantastic. I had a loaded 2016 4Runner that was great but had a couple of annoying issues, like tire pressure monitoring lights that came back on an hour after the dealer would get them to shut off. Still, I loved that truck. Volvo was always in the shop, VW was better but not good, Subaru was excellent and Acura was flawless. BMW was a disaster after 60k. Valve seals and transmission repairs were rough. The best of the German cars was an Audi by far. Car was reliable, dealer was honest and service, while pricey, was cheaper than BMW or Mercedes. We have another one now, which my wife drives and I love it. Perfect blend of comfort and performance. In summary, if you want a "status" car, I like Audi. If you want a good car, I'd go Honda, Subaru or Toyota in that order. I put Toyota last because I don't like the personality of their cars. Their suvs and trucks are nice though. Honda and Subaru have a tighter feel and are more attractive. [/QUOTE]
