I read a consumer reports magazine which showed reliability ratings for pretty much every car made...based on warranty claims at dealerships on new cars still under car payments.
Chevy had 2 or 3 that were a 75% shaded circle. Thats a 2 out of 5 rating, with 5 being best and 1 being worst. EVERY other vehicle they made had a solid black circle.....a 1 out of 5....the worst possible score. All of them. Except for 2 or 3 models that were slightly better, not based on opinion but actual dealer warranty claims made. Honda in contrast only had 1 vehicle to score a 3, and it was the rebadged Passport that was actually an Isuzu Rodeo bc Honda was still developing their 1st Passport inhouse...every other model was a 4 or 5, with almost all of them being 5s.....
Check out that new Subaru BRZ then. Go test drive 1....there arent many on the road, but they have about 240hp NA, lots of torque due to horizontal 4 banger...6 speed manual with hand Ebrake old school style, and again, it is the same car as a Toyota 86...only reason Toyota doesnt sell em here is they take away from Supra sales ...
Also, enjoy whatever you get bud. Excited for you
