Today is Tuesday, I hope you have a great day.

Cars a mechanic would own (and wouldn’t)

Saw this on Facebook, and was wondering how accurate the list is. I know brands like Toyota have a good reputation, but others like Kia…my personal experience and that of several friends who’ve owned Kia’s would say otherwise. If you gave me a free Kia, I’d immediately sell it. Won’t touch them again

Out of necessity, we recently bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue. I know they’re notorious for transmission issues, but honestly, that’s the only real thing I ever hear about Nissan. Are they pretty good in other aspects of the car? My grandparents owned a 89 Maxima and had it until they died in 2012/2014 and it never had any issues. They took occasional road trips, but otherwise just puttered in town. Maybe they were just built differently back then.

I’d prefer a Toyota again, honestly.
