Sigh, volvo's for a first car is still a no-brainer. Safest car you can get (the older ones), plus runs for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Jap cars are death traps.

I still don't get the people raving on the jap-crap. Have you guys ever actually worked on the cars before? I mean, sure, it's easy to bolt on performance parts, but the stuff coming off is light-weight japanese crap metal. I mean, seriously....the metal feels like freakin plastic.

wow tell us how you really feel...... i'm not saying they are the best designed cars on the planet, but for the most part, japanese cars are very cost effective, good mpg, not the ugliest looking, and parts are usually very easy to find. I have a 99 honda accord ex and the thing has 210K miles on it, still gets 25 mpg CITY! other than normal wear and tear and maintenance, no big issues at allrmorse;3424882; said:Cheesy jap parts, as usual.
