These types of threads are often because of un-informed people.

German cars are no more or less reliable than any other car made in any other place (of course there could be exceptions and models that have issues). It is a car, it requires matinence, and when this is done on time and correctly the car will run properly.

The issues people often run into with German cars is that they are better equipped than many similar cars on the market. This causes you to have more "things" in the car that could break or need upkeep.

I have owened many German cars (mostly BMW and Mercedes and a couple VW's), many Jap (Nissan, Datsun, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda) and a few odd balls as well. None of them are more of less reliable, but some of them have matinence needs that others would not.

So if you are willing to pay the upkeep costs for your selected vehicle and to do it on time you will do just fine. If not.....buy a Honda.
