    Hyundai makes a nice car. Would not own a Kia, they suck.

    Had a Dodge Stealth and it was great but thats actually a Mitsubishi.

    Had a Corvette and loved it. Had a Blazer and it was fine. Chevy is good.

    Had 2 Jeeps... Jeeps are Jeeps.

    Dodge, their transmissions are junk and thats putting it mildly, but if i it was a 30+ year old muscle car, that would be a different story.

    They just give off a "I'm a P.O.S." kinda vibe, I've seen a lot of Dodges with really sh#**y paint jobs too -
    I believe Neons with large amounts of paint missing from the roof is what I recall seeing specifically.

    I just have never been impressed by anything they've turned out.
    ...that, and I've always had influence from my older sister who has always hated Dodge :rolleyes:
    I'm an artist, she has always been more of a gear head than me, so naturally there's some hate that rubbed off.

    Dodge is the white trash of cars & trucks
    just like Suzuki is to motorcycles :stirthepot: (dirtbikes, anyway)

    Me personally, The Doge Cummins trucks are tanks. NEVER had an issue with one. We have hundreds of thousands of miles on them, and they just keep going. However, any gas engined Dodge is junk. Though I voted Ford as there isnt one POS Ford I would own, unless it was free.

    I can list off bad experiences that myself and others have had with any brand. That includes Toyota. Everything has it's issues. The only ones I would not own are the korean brands. Kia just seems cheaply made. Hyundai has gotten better recently, but I had a bad dealership experience with a girlfriend's car once and that has soured me.

    I didn't vote Dodge, but our family has had many Chrysler products. Overall, they are good vehicles. The glaring exceptions have been the automatic transmission in the 94 Grand Cherokee, the cooling system in the 03 4.7 Dakota, and the crappy brake rotors on the 01 Grand Cherokee.

    Sounds like a lot until I start talking about the headgasket and timing chain issues on my 86 Toyota 4x4, and the throwout bearing and miscellaneous "normal" sounds that my six speed makes.

    The main reason I bought another Toyota was for resale value. When I am done with it, someone will be willing to buy it for a reasonable price. I nearly had to give my old Dakota away, despite it being in exceptional condition with only 65K miles on it. It was a Dodge, noone wanted it.:D
