Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post

I've never bought anything but American brands (almost exclusively GM) and have been very happy with all my purchases (even in the '80s when the quality was supposed to be crap). If you care for your car properly you can make even a less than perfect car last a long time. My 1999 Olds Intrigue is approaching 170K miles. I just drove it on vacation covering over 800 miles (high speeds, very hot conditions, and a good bit of stop and go traffic) and it performed flawlessly. My 2006 Solstice has only had one issue of any note and that was the catalytic converter failing. It was replaced under warranty in a day with no problems since. I wouldn't buy a Japanese car for anything because 90% of them are unbelievably boring.
