The most reliable cars?
Man, I wish you could actually experience what I went through with my 2009 Camry. Maybe then you wouldn't state the same defensive, denial comments over and over.
Oh - and please don't sit there and try to tell me I got a dud, I have heard that one 100 times too.
I now own an Altima; so far so good, but believe it or not, my best cars were 2 Buicks and a Mercury.

You have a mindset figuring that the past is always going to be the future. Our family actually felt the same. You could buy a very reliable Honda or Toyota over and over. We didn't even shop or go to another dealer In the 80s, if it wasn't that the color changed, it was hard to tell we even had a new model with the repetitive styling.
My wife had a credit union special at work, and bought every 3 years, even though she worked only 8 miles away. But after 2000, needing a new transmission at 28,000 miles, when that had never happened before, started the red flags. So you trade one or 2 more times, retaining the import mindset that it was lemons. We received a call from the dealership, amazed that we quit buying from them. We didn't even mind paying retail, as it was the mindset and quality (or maybe more security) that we would have reliability. When you hit middle age, that is more important in many cases, or go out and buy something sporty as you can.

This is a full size truck review. Why are you talking about cars? The big 3 make full sizes. And if you have a personal Tundra, fill us in. Do you tow or how you utilize it? It would be helpful to full size 2013 model buyers. I could review my new motorcycle on here, but I doubt any full size truck buyers would care.
