Looking for a car maker for the rest of my life

?I don't know if I'm lazy or if I'm loyal.  My very first car was a Toyota Tercel (we all have to start small), but since then, my family's next 4 cars over the last 20 years has been a Honda.  But this Honda Accord brake fiasco has put me over the edge: replacing the rear brakes at least 3 times, if not 4 or 5 (I've lost count), plus the rotor, with under 50K miles?... I've had enough of it.  The only reason I went with Honda in the first place was for the reliability.  I won't even sell my car privately when the time comes, because I don't want the next guy to feel like I duped him.

Anyway, I'm pretty much going to switch to a new car maker, one where dependability is job 1.  All I'm looking for is a family sedan and SUV.  Tell me what you think.

Thank you for 2014!

Thank you to all the Straight Arrow readers, without whom this place would simply not exist.  You are a great source of insight, inspiration, and just plain ole diversion!  If you aren't moving forward, then change directions. I hope to see all of you in 2015.
