Chrysler Sebring 2001+ are good cars. They changed the body style in 2001 and also started making them in America instead of Mexico = better quality. My dad has one.

How bout the new Pontiac Solicstice? Or the IMO better looking Saturn Sky. New but probably not TOO expensive.

They changed the body style in 2001 and also started making them in America instead of Mexico = better quality. My dad has one. Where a car made has nothing to do with its quality. It has everything to do with engineering tolerances and assembly line quality control. Some production plants do this better than others. Did you know that by checking 96 units in a potentially infinite run of parts that you can get a 95% accuracy/acceptability rating (+/- 5%)? To get that number higher you only have to inspect a few hundred units more. You know who developed this practice? Ford Motor Co. back in the 20's. Somewhere along the line they just stopped doing it, and when the Japanese wanted to get into auto manufacuting in the 70's they looked to see what ford was doing to make their cars so well and they basically just implemented this inspection system which they still do today. I don't really know why American car companies stopped doing this all together. The reliability of a car is reflexive of all those little deviations in their parts. If you can keep that to a minimum, you'll have a good car. Mexican workers are just as capable of doing this as Americans or Canadians are; it's just a matter of wether it's standard business practice. |
