I've been against getting a Japanese car for so long but my car just keeps having these stupid issues time after time and in the city I live in reliability is the n1 thing I look for in a car. I have friends that have gotten used Toyotas and their cars haven't failed them like mine has failed me!!
I don't think their selection is as big here. I wouldn't know haven't been to a Mitsubishi dealership in a long time. My mom owns one though and she's really happy with it.
I'd love to go to Japan and learn how these car manufactures do it. All their practices: JIT, kanbans, TPM, etc.
