and about 6k less for repairs not related to maintenance.....
honestly, it would have been nice to see the new accord wn the award, but at the end of the day, those so called "awards" hold no value to me whatsoever. i could really care less about a piece of chromed / gold painted piece of plastic....
what matters to me:
- good track record - easy fixes that are well-documented - longevity / reliability (goes back to #1) - comfort - performance - simple, yet effective packaging (don't like luxury models due to too many gadgets that may break once the car ages)
