A) if you can afford it you prolly dont care if it costs 1 grand to drive every 100 miles.



B) the spoiler? Who gives a ****, for it's performance it's one of those car's you could have a huge ***** on the antenna and still be pimping.

lmao. good analogy dramon!



boxrs- i speak from experience only. my folks have had bmw's, benz, and volvo. they have never had serious problems, except for transmissions at around 160k miles. the whole thing needed to be replaced.



honestly, what really makes a car unreliable these days? i hear everyone bitching about it, but if you mistreat a car, it will mistreat you back.



and i agree with the chrysler thing boxrs, chrysler makes a shitty product. that is why i only sold jeep's and used cars.

German cars have never been terribly reliable, they're well engineered and well built for the most part, but that doesn't make them reliable.

people also have higher expectations with expensive cars, any little thing bothers them, complaints such as "this switch doesnt feel right", at 47mph I hear a noise from the tailight", etc..



so they of course get lower ratings, people who buy cheaper cars are happy with what they get so they dont complain as much.



its a JD POWER fact.
