Wouldn't buy an American made economy car. American companies never cared about their economy cars when I was willing to buy them. I started buying Japanese cars in 1983 and haven't bought anything else since.

Have had a Nissan, a Mazda, Honda's a Toyota. Drove in Dallas in all of them except the Toyota. Always bought them with five speed transmissions so I could pull onto the freeway at a decent speed. Enjoyed driving the 1990 Honda CRX the most, but the 2004 Civic EX I had through 2011 was the second most fun to drive.

Driving a 2012 Camry with an automatic transmission now because I'm retired & no longer live in Dallas.

I was just watching some "Worst crash tests" video on YouTube(where the vehicle clips the driver fender into a stationary object) and let me just say... I'll never buy an Asian car again

Pretty much every vehicle shown was Asian. Even the Honda Pilot driver looked like he got destroyed, and I assumed that car would do better due to its size.

I love people using 30 year old anecdotal evidence to support claims about products made now.
