pbfoot said:but european cars just don't last as long and for the most part when they break down you almost have to give your firstborn male to get it fixed
pbfoot said:Japanese cars are the best hands down the worst problem I've ever had is corrosion. The european cars are pretty but not tough , but in defence of North American cars they are much cheaper to repair and purchase then European. My maintainence on my car a 90 camry 2litre with 295k is nil i check the oil when I see an oil light come on when on a curve. Please remember the driving in Europe is different then here . where in Europe can you drive for 2 hours and not see any sign of life
I'd actually take a North American car over a Mercedes or Beamer because I have no desire to look like a hip hop star . I had a job working for a beamer dealer once and the oil change better known as a service was about $300 dollars just a little more then the $25 for a North American car. I am not fond of North American cars but European cars just don't stand up they are not as reliable this is according to Consumers Reports a non profit organization that tests everything under the sun and is not influenced by advertising dollars . The monthly magazine does not have one iota of advertising thus precluding outside influences on their decisionscheddar cheese said:The reason theyre cheaper is because theyre made of cheaper, lower quality materialsJapanese cars arent quite the best, theyre very reliable and do everything you could want with a car, but European cars (Actually thats mainly German) do all of that and more. German are definately the best...

I know I do zero maintainence but people mostly follow the manual as for the website aside from the magazine testing the cars themselves the results are bolstered by the readership who are asked yearly to comment on their vehicles it turns out its really very accurate to the point where they come up with a number you should anticapate to spend yearly on maintainence. i'll stick with my old locally built rice burnerthe lancaster kicks *** said:um, pB, that's an american website and an american servey where the European cars were owned by americans who invariably take less car of them than the europeans, so it's not exactily un-bias............
