Are the newer 07-08 American cars better than a 1999 Honda/Toyota? Don't all cars start to show problems around ten years old? How low quality are the newest American cars?
 
If you are in America I would buy an American car.

With everyone buying foreign cars we are trashing our economy even more than it already is. Domestic cars are very reliable now a days.
 
newer American cars will hold up better than old Japanese, plus you wont have to worry about pollution restrictions (depending on state) with a newer car for longer. buy US, the quality has come lightyears since the 80's early 90's.
 
Yes and no.

They(New American) are better in terms of quality and features and value.
They are not better in terms of reliability, but they will still reach 200,000 miles with regular maintenance.

An Older Honda or Toyota could reach over 300,000 mies is they were taken care of. But they do not have the features and safety and comfort of newer cars.

If you plan to keep the car for more than 10 years, do not buy an American car. They could last 10 years, or even more. But they will have more problems along the way so they will cost more over time.
 
this is one reason the us auto company's are losing money because people are buying foreign car's buy american and forget the honda/toyota junk.
 
Toyota is WAY over rated. To see what I mean, open your favorite Internet search page and search "Toyota Sludge" or "Toyota Rust", without the quotes.

Honda isn't much better. Search "Honda Odometer" without the quotes.

I would get an American car instead. They are much better than you think.
