What Car Brand Is More Reliable, a Dodge or Chevy

Idk about new gen models, but dodge used to always be WOAT in reliability. My sister owns a dodge avenger and she had a number of problems with it. My boy whips an impala and so far I haven't seen or heard of any problems and it rides smooth, though he been driving his for a shorter amount of time. Both cars are '06 model years I think.

My homie had an '06 Malibu. Moderately quick car. Too much torque steer, and gave him all kinda issues.

My patna had a Malibu '02 I think it was...got him up to about 190,000 miles before he had to let it go. That's pretty decent I guess. He used to drive the shit outta that car

Every car gon have its ups and downs. No matter what you get. You need to be doing research on Google & on Dodge, Pontiac, Chevy, Ford forums. Not in the G&S.

I'm doing some research on Google...I feel like if I go on a dodge,pontiac,chevy,or ford forum I'm just gonna find bias. G&S will get me a broader range of opinions

 
Buying used it don't matter what brand is on the car. The previous owner(s) and how they took care of it is what's going to decide the longevity of that vehicle. You're taking a gamble regardless with a used vehicle. Damn what the dealer and carfax says.

Don't just go off the brand name, check that shit thoroughly. Go for the one with the least amount of miles. Test drive checking for any noises and vibrations that seem irregular. Pop the hood and listen to the motor. You need to hear a consistent purr of the engine. No strange knocking, hissing, or tinks. Check belts for chaffing, cracks, or any signs of being worn. Make sure there are no leaks, no smoke, no wet area's around the motor. check all reservoirs, although any dealership worth a damn would have that covered at least, still check it. Make sure all your dash instruments work. All the buttons work. Lights. turn signals. Maintenance cost. Warranty. Gas mileage. Yada, yada, yada...

Most mechanics I've met would recommend a Ford.. Toyota's are good as well. But far as chevy vs dodge goes, chevy has been slightly ahead of that curve.

 
For dependablitity you are better off buying foreign.

The foreign joints particularly Honda and Toyotas last forever with minimal maintenance.

Out of those cars you listed Id get the Impala.

I think it's probably best as far as dependability.

I see quite a few of those older model Impalas still on the road indicating fairly good dependability.

Those Chargers look good but Im not sure whether they are as dependable and I don't know enough about the Avenger to speak on it.
 
Main problem with cars these days is how they compact everything under the hood. You gotta take the radiator out, remove the battery, and take off the tire just to get to the oil filter. And pray that the son'bitch that tightened it didn't bench 300 or use some pneumatic shit. Then you gotta be a damn contortionist to get leverage to turn on the joker. SMH. Most vehicles, especially V8's ain't do it at home friendly.

So if you're that kind of guy, you might want to get a V6. Or something with reasonable work space in the hood. Or risk bringing your shit to the auto joint for every little thing. And truth be told, I think they make shit like so that you have to bring it to them now. In which case get that extended warranty. They charging $80 just to put shit on the diagnostics these days.

Auctions are also an option. Only draw back is that their sold "as is" and anything can be wrong with them. Bullet holes and what not. I'd change out any personal affects on the vehicles exterior. The enemy's of drug dealers might shoot you down thinking you're the owner.
