That's a Toyota, in case you didn't know. I've heard good things about the Scion line.
Yep, I know. I drove my aunt's boyfriend's and I loved it. Rode well and I really like the design.
I don't really have a "favorite". I've owned GM, Chrysler, Ford and Saab. I dislike them all equally for different reasons, though the saab has been the least amount of trouble.
Had the most trouble with the GM, but it made it to 200k before anything too major kicked it in the butt (aside from paint problems).
I view pretty much every GM vehicle with suspicion.
I applaud Ford more than most for at least trying, even though I wish they would jsut bring their freaking Euro cars over as opposed to continuing to spew out the USDM stuff.

Isn't Saab GM?:wink: (maybe they sold them off recently, but they were for some time)
My vote is BMW. If you've ever driven one, you'd know why. They aren't called the ultimate driving machine for nothing.
4 year 50000 all inclusive warranty sure doesn't hurt either. BMW builds a lot in South Carolina.
Technically Saab is owned by GM (though they want to ditch them). They were all Saab designed and engineered before the "NG" saabs (the 94 and later 900 and the 9-3 and 9-5 lines) came around. the drivetrain is/was all saab, though, and most of them (aside from the badge engineered 9-2x) were built in Sweeden (where they also make the Cadilac BLS).
You'd be hard-pressed to find anything that's GM on the car, though, aside from a logo or two here or there.
I've had great luck w/ Honda Accords. They have been very predictable w/ the only maintenance I've ever done being the scheduled tune-ups in the owner's manual. We recently traded my wife's VW Jetta (lots of problems) for another Accord. The Accords seem to hold there value at trade-in time as well.
I'd stay away from VW Jetta's IMO. My wife and sister both had them (a blast to drive and the girls say they're "cute") but both cars had severe electrical issues and transmission problems with low mileage.

Iowa State could be playing for the national title and you'd be less thrilled than with the purchase of your Honda? That's some ride!
