The experience I had during 10 years as a Claims Adjuster handling vehicle service contracts is that it's simply a myth that imports are better than domestic vehicles.
We found that Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans blew just as many engines and transmissions as domestic products, and usually cost at least twice as much to fix. Toyotas had a HUGE problem with engines being destroyed by sludge, and since engine sludge was excluded from coverage on our service contracts regardless of make, Toyota owners were on their own, although as I recall Toyota did eventually admit to a problem.
We were once involved with a paint sealant, and found that Hondas probably have the worst bodies in the industry and Ford products the best.
By the time Motor Trend Magazine came out with an article to the same effect, we'd already figured out that BMW's are the most grossly overrated cars in the industry. Mercedes had bigtime wiring problems, and it was routine to replace the main wiring harness for close to $2,000. The flat rate book shows 24 hours to change a heater core in one model of Mercedes, while people complain about some domestic makes taking 5 hours.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Import superiority is just a myth.
