GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

got in a nice heated debate with my teacher today about the best car maker out there. vote if you wish guys!

I'll have to say Ford. They've got awesome features with their sync. And their new car models look the best of any too.. Of course, you're not going to get a "right" answer here; or anywhere for that matter. It all comes to opinion. Its like asking.. Whats the best color.. Green or Red? By the way, its GREEN!

Is it the best selling, the least amount of problems...

i guess reliable and sold many.

@ lovemyraffe: hahahahahaha

haha yeah, i see. my first thought about this was just personal preference. like my family is strictly GM. except dad buying the stupid prius.

for me, i can only vote on cars i have or my immediate family has owned.

Other.

I come from a Honda family, they've served us well. Just sold a 95 Civic LX I drove off the lot new (with the $ from the 95 Impreza I totaled). Little Civy was a trooper, and I got more than enough for the down-payment on the Vibe selling it at KBB "fair" 16 years later.

I think GM has been successful, but not the best automaker out there.

Best reliability - Honda & Toyota.But I still like my old Fiat, even though it isn't exactly reliable, just something about Italian cars:

yeah, wonder if those $300,000 supercars are any reliable...

I have owned MGs, Opels, Chevys, Volvos, , Hondas, Datsuns and Nissans in the past and at one time or another thought most were good cars in their day... except the Nissan which was a hard to work on and ultimately expensive pig. My all time favorite car was my 1980 Honda Civic, Inga. To this day I still wish I had that car. But alas, even Honda has gotten away from the "WE Keep it Simple" philosophy and their cars are mostly just big and boring.I have driven and worked on Fords that would wallow around and where to fix one thing, several others had to be removed (PITA to work on, IOWs.) But today, I have to agree with 09vGT. I think currently Ford has done much to improve it's products, it's image, it's financial stability and reliability. I'm not always that crazy about their choices in styling cues, but that a personal matter. For example, w/the Chevy/Ford argument, I've always sided w/Chevy, but today I would buy a new Mustang over the new Camaro, or Challenger.Needless to say, I have to vote for Ford from this selection and in this time.
