Toyota had a lawsuit against them which claimed thier Sienna engines built up sludge prematurely (all under 40k). They also had engines fail due to this as well.

I've owned many many GM makes and not one left me stranded vs. a Honda that would not start.

Me thinks you have -0- data other than hear say to back up ur claims. Typical of people believing that anything from over the pond must be better.

except for the 7 toyota trucks that I've had that all had over 150k... 5 had over 200k... and two over 500k. never had an issue with any other than my last one which I'm strongly believing was the fault of the dealership who did the maintenance.

I don't believe everything from overseas is better... fuck'n mitsubishi sucks. can't stand their shit vehicles... same with kia, hyundi.

for the record I've owned... 4 domestic vehicles... a GMC Jimmy, Chevy S10 Pickup, an S10 Blazer, and a GMC Sierra 2500. My parents have owned a Chevy Astro van, Ford Aerostar, Ford F150, International (shit can't remember the model but it was like a suburban) Chevy Suburban.

The Jimmy didn't cause me any issues other than going through two alternators... but I sold it to my parents cause I wanted a pickup... and they had nothing but issues.... a weld on the lower Right A arm braking, head gasket blowing, Transfer case going, transmission loosing 3rd gear randomly... and a few other electrical issues.

I could go through and list the laundry list of issues my parents had with all their vehicles... all with less than 100k on them.

mine well with the exception of the Jimmy... mine were all over 100k but under 120... and were deteriorating FAST.

of the Toyota Truck's I've owned... I've had to replace the timing chain on 4 of them (preventive maintenance) and 2 head gaskets... one at 220k... the other at 375k two different trucks.

I've never owned a honda... but there's a reason why they have the rep they do. I've know MANY people who have over 150K on their accord's, and civics... with no issues...

I know very few who've owned domestics with the same claim.
