I had one Toyota and one datun and they were both junk. My sister in
law had a Datsun and it was junk. They just don't hold up under hard
driving. They are made for little old ladies who will never push
them.

I wouldn't call Mitsubishi small, it might not make a lot of cars
(though I do remember it's board of directors being hauled before a
court for knowingly allowing new cars to be sold with faulty brakes) but
they have fingers in lots of pies.

Bullshit. Toyotas love to be driven hard.
You can't equate "hard driving" with "total abuse".

Maybe in your experience, certainly not in mine. A few full throttle
shifts was all the AT in the Tercel could take. it was never the same
after.
>You can't equate "hard driving" with "total abuse".
I never abuse a car.
