I’m biased toward:
Toyota
Mazda
vehicles made in Japan
manual transmissions
physical buttons or knobs
disk brakes
I’m biased against:
Chrysler/Stellantis
GM after the bailout
turbos
CVT transmissions
hybrids
touch screens that operate important systems
Electronic safety systems that cripple the car if they malfunction
AWD
Korean vehicles
drum brakes
I also probably wouldn’t buy a 2WD truck but that’s not because I have anything against them. I just find myself frequently needing 4WD for a lot of the things I use a truck for.
