IMO, Its not what brand of car , Its HOW you maintain your car, kahit Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsu pa yan, tapos hindi mo naman inalagaan ng ayos, balewala rin. Before i bought my lancer (96 GLXi), dami nagsabi sa kin panget daw lancer, sirain daw ang suspension, idle servo, etc... But I maintained it well, up to now ok pa rin, hindi ako binigyan ng sakit ng ulo.
