I have always heard (prior to this recall) that Toyota was best-built car you could buy for the money. The few people who I knew that owned Toyotas never seemed to have issues with them either. That said, I have owned two Chevys and they have been great. My 1989 Corsica would leave most cars in the dust until the fuel injectors quit a few years ago at 147,000 miles; you could also bury it in a snow drift and it would fire right up and run like a champ. My current Silverado has also been a tank, even after a drunk driver tried to kill it. Based on my experience, I think Chevy trucks are the way to go from here on out.
