I can remember back in the day, if you got 85K out of a car that was damned good. Usually you needed a complete engine and transmission rebuild before that.
Nowadays, for a car like a Toyota or my Honda, 85K is just getting broken in.
I switched to Japanese in 1990.
When I did I noticed a huge improvement in durability and workmanship.
Next to them the American vehicles that I had had for the previous 26 years were crap.
I have heard that since 1990 the American vehicles have caught up in quality.
Well, maybe they have, and maybe they haven't, but I have no intention of finding out.
