Answer 1

Some from experience, some from people I know who have owned one or more.

Pontiac-  Performance brand of GM.  Pretty reliable brand and GM parts last for a long, long time.

Chevy- Same as Pontiac without the performance styling the Pontiac cars possess.  Usually share engines and/or chassis with one another.

BMW- One of the most reliable of European makes and quick, fun cars, but expensive to own and maintain.

MB- Same as BMW, but not as reliable.

Honda- One of the most reliable Japanese makes, cheap to own, and very peppy engines.

Mazda- so-so Japanese brand.  Only the newer ones are good, except the RX7.

Toyota- Another of Japan's best in reliability.  Cheap to own, but not as sporty as Honda.  More of a plain jane brand if you ask me.

Hyundai- Average Korean make with unique style.  I'm told most of the engines don't last that long though.

Saturn- Can be as reliable as a Honda if you know how to take care of them.  Otherwise, you'll hate them.  Best suited for people who work on their own cars (very easy to work on also).

Ford- Makes good trucks, most cars aren't that great.  Has weak trannies.

Dodge- Reliable trucks, so-so cars.  I like their styling though.

Kia-  Another average brand, but don't really know much about them so shouldn't comment.  

All cars break down when you don't want them to and all are gonna limit your speed to 100 or so.
