why do people think honda and toyota are so great
 

why do people give them so much credit chevy dodge and ford are just as good if not better than them, proof is some of the cars ive seen















1997 chevy silverado 319,000 miles















1998 dodge ram 257,000 miles















it all depends on how well you take care of them not what brand you buy my friends honda just broke down and cost him $300 to repair it, so why do people think they are so good?

taking care of your vehicle is very true and will definitely prolong its life but also look at the security and safety features...you can rack up miles on any car but which one will u feel safer in? but your also speaking about trucks so i"l give it to you on that...better gas mileage also kicks in when ur talking imports...u get way better gas mileage in a honda or toyota den u would in a dodge or chevy...

I think it really comes down to preference, everyone has an opinion on whats best. In Hawaii where I live Toyotas are the hottest trucks especially the older ones like 85-97 with rebuilt engines. Toyotas are one of the most expensive trucks out there but I do see alot more older toyotas driving around then fords or dodges but that might just be because I live in Hawaii.































What it all comes down to is like you said how well the person takes care of the engine and the quality of parts put into it.































You can make almost any modern car/truck last well over 200k miles if you take care of it. BTW I own a Ford Ranger and its still running fine at 130K miles.

well, you gotta look at it this way.. both honda and toyota designed their vehicles (accord, civic, camry, celica) to be quarter million mile cars..

the cars are just reliable, if taken cared of. honda kept it simple, they build their vehicles using a lot of the same parts with different chassis' types. toyota on the other hand didnt, they were all over the place, but now (after 2005) they are starting to do what honda was doing back in the 90s.

people that love their toyotas, love the idea that they are reliable cars, they are practically overbuilt vehicles. especially thier trucks.

the ones that love hondas are also the same. the accord models are over built. the civic models, were built with a lot of interchangabilities. both makers are very similiar with their ideas on how to make a great car.

of course the aftermarket 'tuner' loves their hondas because of how easy it is to put them together, kinda like LEGOS in a sense. plus both honda and toyotas keep their value really well. toyotas bone stock resell pretty good, and hondas d out and modified, beat into the ground, still can get a premium.

toyotas would be for the parents, and hondas are for the kids..
IMO
