Well it certainly didn't help.
that's why.
This is why I stick to rally as it also show just how cars with stand up to repeated abuse.
LOL. Honda electrics must be ****ty then. With my car it just affects the one thing.
My family swears by GM and has had bad luck with Ford's. My mom once had a '94 Ford Escort wagon, she accidentally spilled coffee on the gear shifter in the winter, the coffee froze the gearshift in place and immobilized the car. Coffee should NOT be able to take down an entire car like that. When she called up Ford to make a formal complaint, Ford told her not to drink coffee in the car. WTF!? She spilled coffee countless times on the Monte's gearshift and it never did that.
With the research, If I don't like a company's business practices (coughtoyota+racismcough) or a certain technology the flaunt that in design is horrible (coughvteccough), then I won't buy from them. From what I've been able to dig though, Suzuki has a clean slate. As such they're one of the few companies that DOESN'T annoy me or piss me off. I even happen to like Suzuki cars and their features.
