Top 10 Well-built car/trucks of the last 5 yrs.

[Caveman]

In the spirit of the Consumer Reports is BS threads going on, I figured I'd let the dogs out, right here.

Consider:

Drivetrain Quality
Fit-n-Finish
Crap that falls off
Things that rust immediately when they shouldn't
Stuff that needs fixin waaaay before it should

And NO, pintos don't make the list. Too pretty.

2004 up g.m. trucks with the ls family of drivetrains..
only bad part..and this goes for all trucks..
the bedskins are to thin..
and to easy to dent..

205-6 gto..

2006 up hhr.. cheap .(start at 15k new) runs good.. engines not the quitest

consumer reports pinheads rip on american cars , but even in ther 'bad old years ' there were caprices , impalas , 88 olds ,malibus , lemans , celebrities that ran forever with zero problems

[min301]

...and zero power. Still very relevant cars IMO.

I dont own anything that new but my Regal and Bonneville werent changed much since the model years I have and they are both great cars. So,

98-2004 Regal ,SC3800 :
No problem
Its quick and the cops dont notice it.

97 Bonneville SSEI,
Plenty of room and power.

pretty much gets the wife where she needs to go
no stinking dipstick and the trans seeps!

no dipstiick is a german trick we stole - just crawl under and pull the plug

2006 Ford Focus. I drive it(beat it) 100+ miles daily. One power steering pump. 2001 F350 powerstroke. 172k. original clutch and brakes. one cam postion sensor. 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. No factory problems but lots of rock crawling damage!!!It has held up up very well even though i have a bad habit of launching it in the air.

my first 92 buick (maroon one in the sig pic)had no problems until it went into the woods at 45mph. still drove and beat on it after that happened for the rest of the day. for the 3 months i owned it i beat the living #%&* out of it ,jumped it ,bottomed it out on purpose ,ran into stuff with it ,went offroading with it etc. etc. . it was a tough car had a real nice interior too and it was only $300
