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?
