I would say volvo are probably the best, theres a volvo in the states with well over 2 million miles on the clock and still counting. The only time anyone has gone inside the engine was to put on a new set of piston rings.
However i've known good and bad engines from most countries, so its not just a straight forward 'this countries better'.
Evilgoat:
Good point, should have put Sweedish in too :)
AFAIK Volvo still use their own engines.
Tyke:
Just for the record, my last Toyota did a tad over 265,000 miles, trouble free and on minimum services.
Only got rid of it cos it was knicked and returned with the bodywork smashed up :evil:
Wasn't really worth the repair after that - was gonna go for the ½ millon once it turned the 250k
So there you have it, IMO jap motors can be pretty much bullet proof.
Back on the Brit stuff again now though - spanners every wekend time :wink:
Cherry Bomb:
OK own up who's voted for British engines???? :shock:
(There's nothing like blind patriotism! :lol: )
Evilgoat:
