I had a friend, who was a student, and bought an old Chevy Malibu from the late 70's or early eighties. He was driving it home from the guy he bought it from when the front passenger wheel came off. He was lucky he wasn't hurt. Those old style Chevys aren't as great or bulletproof as some people make them. I realize it was on old car, but there's always a higher risk with an old beater. I'd take the Corolla in a heartbeat over an old Dodge, Chevy, or Ford.

Where is the proof that any of that is at all true? We've owned Toyotas and Hondas for 30 years and it doesn't matter what age they happen to be as they've all been nearly flawless. We're talking model years from the 70's through 2008. They STILL make excellent cars and STILL make a better product than anything the big 3 could ever hope to produce. End of story.
