American Made cars Vs Chinese/Japnese made Car Which Ones better?

Okay so in my life I've heard things about American made cars like Ford Chrysler Dodge etc… That those cars aren't really made to last long since most of the time there are always breaking down and I remember my father having a van Ford its was beautiful but the car had a couple of problems like the tranny and axels and always stuff happening to the car that he ended up paying almost 1500 dollars in less than a year with the car. But people tell me great reviews on cars like Honda, Nissian, Mitsubishi etc… That these cars last forever and parts aren't expensive and the parts last longer than the American made cars and I can honestly say that's almost the truth to me since I've been around people with those types of cars and they usually never break down if they taken car right. Like my sister she doesn't change her oil doesn't do nothing to her car to maintain it and its still driving pretty good. It's a Nissian pathfinder btw.Cars of those orgins usually from Japan and China. So my question is American car or a Japanese or Chinese made Car for a first car?

Foreign cars are made better than American cars. Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai are some of the best brands in my opinion.

It all depends. There are some pretty solid american cars out there. If we're talking newer cars (2010-newer) I would say go with an American car, they improved big time. If we're talking older cars (1990s-early 2000s) then I would say go with a foreign car.

As far as I know there are no Chinese cars sold in the US yet.

Depends On What Your Needs Are, Are You Buying Status? Or Utility? Somewhere In Between Lies The Solution To Your Problem But I Believe Any Honda SUV From Japan Is A Great 1st Car To Purchase.

Dodge/Chrysler is about the worst design quality American car you can buy. Honda used to be good but went south after about 1999 (see Eric the Car Guy on Youtube). My wife's 1996 Honda Odyssey mini-van was high quality but her newer 2001 CR-V is poorly designed, rough riding and hard to work on. Chine has built knock-offs of a lot of popular cars for the European market that are total rubbish, perform poorly and won't last. The new upstart that is turning out some good quality are cars from Korea like Kia and Hyundai. They started out poorly built in the early 1990s, but have improved quality on a regular basis. Toyota is still the best quality Jap car. Mitsubishi is the worst.

Japanese made cars are best. There's japanese made cars from the 90s and they are still reliable for daily use. I have electronic made in japan devices from the 90s, they still work flawless and have best quality as all made in japan devices.

In the past, prior to 2010 the Japanese brands were far more reliable but the difference today is almost nothing. American brand cars are just as reliable as Japanese brands and more reliable than European brands. As far as the cost of part, American brand parts are usually cheaper. Saying that, within each make there are some that are not as reliable both Japanese and American. Do some research on what you are considering. As an example the 2003 Honda Accord is one year I would not recommend as they had transmission issues that year. Any other year Accord I would highly recommend. The same holds true for every make and model. There are some you should steer clear of. Research reliability to know which ones to buy. Here is a great site to do your research.

Chinese cars should be avoided as they have some way to go.
Korean, Japanese abd European cats are fine.
Many US brands are no longer made in the US.
It very much depends on what you are looking for.

I've been driving a 1997 Ford Ranger pickup for numerous years. It has 198,000 miles on it today. I've replaced the battery and the starter. It runs good and gets 25 mpg on the highway. It's the 2.3 liter, 5-speed manual transmission version.

I've been working on car engines since 1972. Cars barely made 100,000 miles back then, and before. Oldsmobile can be traced to 1897. American cars have quite a history. So does technology. So does automobile technology.

I buy American made automobiles only, because of jobs. If I was going to buy a pearl necklace, I'd buy a Japanese one.

Everything that I ever bought that was made in China has very poor quality. Decades ago Japanese goods was similar, but not as bad. We used to use the word "cheap" (inferior quality) to describe those products in the 1950s and 60s. Japanese production has increased quality a lot, since those earlier times. China, well, their production is still in its infancy, in MY opinion.

15 years ago, foreigh all the way, now they are even. Toyotas are mostly made here in us now so they are American made by a foreign company, no matter make or model if prevent maint is not done it will be junk in 5 years any ways
