I have always been a GM person, but my wife just had to have a Honda Accord awhile back. I bought a used 04 accord coupe ex with 3k miles on it. we kept it a year and it went back for the check engine light once and a broken peice of interior trim once. It got 32 mpg on the highway it was a 4cy 5sp. I traded it off with 20k miles.

I know these are not major problems, but I always heard the imports are perfect. My 04 Silverado company truck went 107k before I got an 07 Impala company car never a problem with either. My 07 Impala with 60k on it gets better mileage with a v-6 auto than the smaller 4cy 5sp accord got.

It appears to be the imports do a better job at one thing, public perception nothing else.

I have a friend who is a service manager at a Chevy store and they also have a Toyota store. He is always telling me how hard Toyota is to get along with. GM does a much better job taking care of thier customer.
