My family’s car was a new chevy and was terrible. A/C broke within 4 years (unrepairable due to bad design) and constant mechanical issues. Also you had to remove the wiper fluid box to access the battery!!

My first car was a used chevy and was also terrible. Engine failed.

My second car was/is a used toyota and I’ve been driving it for 12 of its 18 years on the road with only one major repair. I expect it to die soon but am quite happy with its longevity and reliability.
