I don't think the brand makes much difference nowdays when it comes to reliability or cost to repair. In years past they found something good and stuck with it, nowdays they change 90% of the vehicle from one year to the next to meet emmision requirements, or whatever and never have sufficient time to test all the changes before they sell the vehicles. Until it got totalled by an idiot driver I owned a '88 F-150 that had well over 300,000 miles on it. Except for changing the intake manifold gasket at around 290,000 miles and going through 2 exhaust systems the old girl never gave any problems...heck it didn't even use any oil like you'd expect out of one with that many miles....Now though, I've got an old '78 Jeep J-10 that's still reliable as heck. If and when it does break down though I can fix it myself without alot of special tools, and the cost of the parts isn't through the roof either.
