well i can give you my complete experience with cars; which in short is that Ford sucks and Honda rocks.
I used to drive a civic and so does my mother. My mother's car had it's first breakdown last week (Still drives, but problems with the exhaust), after 12 years of driving (about 80k) and only one maintenance stop. considering the manual says to go for a maintenance checkup every 2500 miles, and she does it every 40K or so miles it's impressively durable.
I have taken better care of my civic and while my sister now drives it it is still going without problems at 80k miles.
Currently driving a 2010 Honda Fit and it has worked out well so far (a bit over 10K miles so far. yes I drive a lot for a while I was averaging 500 miles a week). I wanted to buy an insight but the gas millage wasn't that much better and the Fit has a bit more room. I really recommend the Fit if you are looking for a good cheap car, it's very nice.
The nice thing about Honda's is that they don't tend to depreciate much (In fact the first civic I drove gained in value if you believe the used car dealer trying to sell one
) So if you want to trade it in after 3-4 years for a nicer car it should still retain a good deal of value.
We used to have a Ford Taurus (piece of junk, gave up the ghost when the engine block split in two while driving) and still have an Ford Mustang that almost always needs to be in the shop for some minor annoyance that should be fixed.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
