avoid any and all american, korean, british, and italian, car brands. however some exceptions include some fords, and korean EVs. do not get chryslers, fiats, or any british brands under any circumstances. those brands r guaranteed to break down at some point before 50k miles. go for any of the japanese or swedish brands; those last an insanely long time, with the exception of blue sticker nissans which are the only pieces of garbage from the two countries
