      In your own opinion that’s a whole lot of money you’ve thrown away right there, clearly you must be an idiot…

        If you’re saving up five grand for months for what I presume is your only car, you’d be a fool to not get the best one you could buy - a Toyota. After that, knock yourself out with whatever projects you want. My Corolla was the first car i ever bought myself and will probably be the last one i own after selling/trading the others.

          It’s funny because if you had bought a V6 Toyota truck from the same year you would have been in for one hell of a ride! Engine top end and frame that needs to get replaced, talk about top notch reliability 😘👌

          I know it’s hard to admit we might be wrong, but reliability varies by model and a Civic will be just as reliable as a Corolla and it’s been the case for decades now.

          Agreed with you about Toyota. Best cars I’ve ever owned. But damn I’d love a less reliable sports car for gun.
