why are our nepali brothers such a fan of honda civic/ accord and toyota camry... i have seen ford taurus, chevy malibu that have crossed 170miles and still running smooth as hell..and even mitsubishi ,,eclipse that has crossed 160 and still smooth /.. And i have also seen honda civic and prelude and civic with about 80k and still rattling and vibrating all over..i find that brand thing a hype..give a good road test whatever you buy,,if u feel that you are going to keep the car for 4 or 5 years and then junk it or sell it for whatever you can then get a smooth one than a good brand junk,,, But well if u are thinking of buy a car of 8000 now and selling it for 7k or 6k after 4 years,, then keep dreaming,,it wont happen,,they will have newer models for similar price then..
