I remember my father insisting on buying American brands for decades because he believed they were higher quality, only for him to get lemon after lemon after lemon.
I managed to crash the only decent American car we had, which was a Buick. Otherwise it was multiple Fords, Chevrolet, Cadillac, all constantly needing to be in the shop.
When my sister and I got our first cars, we didn’t have any good impressions of American car companies and both bought used Japanese because they were a lot cheaper. And then, had zero problems.

The next car my dad bought was a Subaru.
I had a lemon of a civic too. I had to sell it after 11 years, because it would have required maintenance
Meanwhile my ten year old Subaru is like new. While it did require maintenance, that was mostly covered by subaru
