I've begun driving vehicles for an area car auction one night a week. Needless to say, I get to drive a lot of different types vehicles with many being real junk. Prior to this, I'd never driven Hondas or Subarus but I've found most of them to be very solid compared to other brands. To a lesser extent, Toyotas also stand out. If you could find an equivalent vehicle of those brands, IMO, you'd be well served.
