I don't put any faith in the reports of JD Power, Consumer Reports, and Consumer Guide. They are biased toward the imports and have been for years. They reported that the Dodge Aspen, Plymouth Volare, and Dodge Diplomat was all junk. My Diplomat I got 250,000 miles out of and would have gotten more if I didn't make it my daughters main form of transportation. She refused to maintain it but by the time I took it back the damage had been done. The PT Cruiser they rated as a best buy and it is one of the worst cars I ever owner. They didn't stop recommending it until it didn't have side airbags like other cars in the same segment.

 

I lived in the Champlain Valley which is north west Vermont (Burlington and Milton) and the frames on cars and trucks were toast in as little as five years. The Fwd cars were the worst with the full frame import trucks next with buckleing frames in six to seven years. The full frame domestic cars and trucks didn't have frames issues with the excepti
on of 78-88 G-body GM cars (sorry guys). The frames on these broke anywhere from the rear bumper mount to at the center of the rear axel. The rest of the full frame cars and trucks had sheet metal decay.
Here in Florida I don't see many Datsuns but do see a lot of rear wheel drive Toyota cars. Mostly Corolla's and Starlets.
