Planning on keeping an import for up to 10 yrs - price for average repair off warranty :shock: Though I work in a domestic dealership some repairs for this are not cheap - especially eletrical, trans. But all that aside I would lean toward an import line if I was to buy new - I would prefer Mitsibishi or VW (the latter for a deisel application) Lancer or Golf. With a possible war insueing the price of fuel could & probably will reach a $1.00 + a ltr

Warranty is something to keep in mind and along with what an exstended warranty costs. Ahh the feeling of signing that dotted line ............. :shock:
