    I like mostly the reliability or percieved reliability.

    If that were the one thing to choose. I like stuff that's rugged and lasting and reliable.

    reliability, style, and value over the life of the Taco.....when it has 100k miles on it she will still be worth something vs the competitors which will be worth zip!
