I understand your sentiment. I was once like you. I believed Toyota was the most rugged car brand ever.

I’ve used my GMC now for almost 2yrs and the performance is just unbelievable. It far surpasses any Toyota ever, believe me as one who used Toyota all my life until early last year


Once like me ontop 2years experience grin, Your experience on GMC is limited to you, that can not be compared to the wide users certification Toyota has.

GMC is an american car, But there are more toyotas/japanese cars on america road than GMC. lets just say you are luck with your car

My point is, your experience alone can't amount to validation.

I’ve a friend here in Lagos who had 12 cars as at 2yrs back. And it was he who first mentioned to me that if I used a Ford brand I would never talk about Toyota again. For me then this was just not possible. Toyota the best ever. So at a point he gave me his 2018 Ford Edge and it was with me for about 6months. I used it intermittently with my GMC.

In my over 10yrs experience using different Toyota, I must visit mechanics more than once within 6months.
But in my almost 2yrs of GMC, driving in very rough terrains , I’ve not had to go for any repairs ever.
This Car is as roughed as a still case.

Exactly one month back I had to travel to Edo state. Before my trip I went for alignment and wheel balancing. The when the alignment people removed my tires, they called me to note that they have never seen a vehicle legs made with such hard still ever.

I’m already working on buying the 2018 version of GMC Terrain God willing as I don’t really like using a particular car for more than 3yrs.

I understand you have a wonderful experience with the American brand and i am not doubting your experience however,

My point remains your experience or that of your friend is not adequate enough to establish a fact, or assert GMC is better than toyota .. get that
Even in America there are more Toyota on the road, than any America car ford, escalade or GMC, think am and why ??

I always tell people to do what works for you, have a rich man in my estate that likes Dodge brand esp. SUVs
Goodluck with your endeavor, God go do am.

💯! The mechanics are the problem also there is this "hearsay” they said Honda is bad, they said Volkswagen is bad, they said ds, they said that. Engine wise, interior, performance you can’t compare a Honda to a Toyota.

No car is bad... we just have a huge load of ignorant mechanics...

I bought 06 Chevrolet Aveo 6yrs ago against all advise and opinion because I just needed it's fuel efficiency at the time because of my every day trips which is to and fro and with only me inside the car.

I bought the car with my heart in my hand expecting loads of problems from the get go.
Funny enough, apart from regular maintenance, I didn't have any other major reason to visit the mechanic for 3yrs.
This encouraged my impression about American cars being the best brands of cars one can possibly get in terms of reliability and fuel efficiency.
Even though spare was a little scarce, I felt it was no problem as long as I can get them even from far regions and have them waybilled to my location.
Naso I kon garra mind go buy 012 cruze to use as my main car join the Aveo which I now intend to use only for petty outings.

The moment the cruze came in, that was when I saw the real premium shege about American cars.
For a whole year, the Aveo and the cruze, both cars showed me shege simultaneously back to back!
From one problem to another everyday. I got tired and sold both cars same day and the money wasn't even enough to get 06 Corolla which is a compact car just like the Aveo.

Till date, I am still thanking God for providing the buyer for both cars same day. And ever since I got Toyotas, I now have course to tell people - "go against popular opinion at your own peril."

God bless you. I have people that have been driving Honda for years with no complain too.
sparko1:
Depends on the person, I have been using my Honda Pilot for close to 5 years and I don't have any problem, if you don't mind it doesn't matter.

You are perfectly right about the @bolded.
The individual experience of a people, irrespective of their high number, isn’t enough to establish a consensus that a particular brand is better.
What may be good for me, may not necessarily be for you. Fact.
I enjoyed all my Toyota, I was so reluctant to sell the last one until wifey had an accident with it.

Thanks and nice having this conversation with you
