Imports are the only way to go. American if you don't mind your transmission going out at 90k miles, and the interior of your car completely disintegrating in three years.
I drive a '92 Honda Civic and the thing has 205k miles, and runs exactly the same as when I bought it at 112k. Virtually zero problems, ever.
I was talking to my mechanic about engine longetivity, and I asked him how long I could expect my engine to last if I continue to drive it like a Formula 1 car. He said the engine will NEVER have a problem, and the only thing I have to worry about is the rest of the car eventually disintegrating... but never the engine. Interesting stuff.
