Many Japanese manufactured products are great, until they die a planned obsolescence death.



Like Honda's.. fantastic to operate until around 6-10 years and everything falls apart.

Sounds like it happens to synchronize with the law in Japan that doesn't allow people to keep their car more than 10 years, forcing the owner to sell them to 3rd world countries in order to keep their auto industry alive and active.  



Though I'm surprised you'd say that, knowing you won't make stuff up, but my family and I have fortunate experience with Japanese good. We bought a Sony radio when we first moved to Canada in 1988 and my mom still listens to it today.

That is bullshit enviro rulles written by the big Japanese automakers. Members of the Diet(parliament) are on their payrolls. I've seen plenty of 25 year old Japanese cars(mostly Toyota) imported from Japan and with the steering column on the right hand side here in the Czuk. They are in good running order.

A lot of things are over engineered and with connectivity issues when they go bad.



I still have a Sony Waverider alarm clock, and it's never missed a beat. Vehicles are a different story. My Legend was a finicky money pit... every gasket, seal, electric motor, sensor on it shit the bed, and around the same time.

That's what I was thinking too, lol.  I gave my brother my 12 year old Civic hybrid and never had a malfunction except for the motor that roll up the window on the driver side.  



While on the other hand, our first car, the GM tempest my mom drives years ago, some of the door swing open while making turns.  Or the fully digitalize dashboard on my dad's Oldsmobile goes dark while driving, while one time the brakes all of a sudden doesn't work at all, lol.

It might be your car happens to be a lemon, I mean in most 3rd world places everyone would do anything to get their hands on a used Toyota.

There are cars in mint condition in Japan with less than 50k on them that can no longer be certified for the road. The big Japanese automakers say it's safer and better for mother nature to buy a new one. :001_rolleyes:

Toyota's fare better generally but they have probs. Like the Hilux's horns not being to be engaged unless you turn the wheel. Landcruisers are phenomenal but you pay 6 figures for one and have to usually order them from delivery. My car's problem was the environment. It wasn't designed to last in a really hot environment.

I'm so glad I live in Canada and not in Japan.  While I bought my CX-5 diesel mainly b/c I was hoping to get the most by driving at least one million km before selling it.

I hope so too, the funny thing is I didn't even realized diesels last so long before buying it, at first I went for it mainly for it's towing capability, but now that I put my RV fantasies aside, I should make use of it's life expectancy.

Your diesel SUV will last almost forever. Hey, you live near lots of water. You should consider getting a boat or an RV.

Boats are cool, but I think RVs are still the best, I mean it's practically a mobile home, something that I've always dreamed of.  But then I'm kind of poor now after buying my Mazda lol, think I'll have to stick to my car tent for at least a few years.
