You know what "Ford" stands for, eh?
Fix It Again, Tony.
But to add something to the conversation, my vote goes to Toyota and Honda.
Anecdotally: Had a 1999 Corolla that I drove into the ground, ignored oil changes, was a stupid teen, and it ran fine until I wanted automatic windows. Currently riding in a Nissan Altima, which seems to be pretty great (as long as the transmission doesn't fail, which they can do sometimes).
Parents had a Ford Eacort that was a lemon, and a Ford Escape that was a money-pit.
It's a joke from King of the Hill, one of the main characters misquotes the joke the way the OP commentor wrote it.
I will say the variation of the Ford joke I've always heard growing up was "Fixed Or Repaired Daily."
First On Race Day
Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge
(But I like yours)
Ford is Fix Or Repair Daily.
Idk... I've had my Escape since 2015 and it hasn't been a money pit. There was one massive issue it had with a cable for the transmission snapping, but it ended up being a recall so I was completely refunded the money it cost to fix it. I'm not saying they are necessarily the best, but it's been fine for me is all.
I think with any of these questions, picking a specific brand seems silly. Hell, even a specific model isn't always a good idea because some of the models made in a specific year might be shit and the next year they might be great. You have to do a lot more research in depth rather than just blindly picking a brand imo.
FIAT is "fix it again Tony".
