Morning coffee run, gym, afternoon meeting, errands, drive across town. I can do this extensively and dont worry about money or car problems. German car? Well, if im driving to work, the check engine light might come on, that means i have to take time out of my day to go to the dealership to get it fixed. Then they will give me a courtesy vehicle, because the car needs a week to diagnose and fix. Then i have to go back to the dealership to return the courtesy vehicle and pick up my car. That is a lot of wasted time. Time = money.

I am a German and honestly I would pick Japanese cars since I made good experiences with Toyota, Honda and Subaru. It's what you said already: repairs for German cars are complicated, time consuming and very costly. Especially replacement parts which have to be ordered from the car manufacturers themselves. Also, the German car industry is very exploitive so I am not really a fan of scummy buisness practises at the expense of the consumer. If anything, I would pick Audi or VW, because modern BMW and Mercedes cars pretend to be luxurious at a higher price, when in reality they have questionable compartment parts, features and design flaws in different cases and different models also again at the expense of the consumer. Avoid Opel/Vauxhall (UK).
The particular models I'm looking for (BMW 3 series vs Audi 4 series) seem that the BMW nowadays (newer models) are way more reliable. So by what experience lead you to this conclusion? Some context will be helpful
So does our whole family. Fun to drive and reliability of Honda and Toyota are unmatched by far. German premium brands? Never again. Lots of trouble and time at the workshop. Horrible.
My friend owns a independent mechanic shop ,he is the only one in the area willing to work on German cars , I had never seen a water pump made out of plastic before till an Audi came in for service lol and of course it was leaking and the replacement part from the Audi dealer was made of aluminum . Another car came in for struts all around and it had Mercedes adjustable struts all computer controlled , cost was $1500 each strut just for the parts ! The owner not wanting to drop the $6000 plus labor said he was just gonna sell the car instead
Lol, and you think 1500$ is expensive for what were probably air struts? Morons who dont know what they buy... Of course state of the art engineering solutions will cost money. Even a fricking Lexus ES macpherson strut is like 500$ and that shit is striaght out of economy cars like the corollas.

German cars depreciate for a reason. When things start to break down, it is more expensive to restore it back to shape. Bargain? Can be if you are a mechanic. (and have time)
Classic volkswagen enthusiast from the Philippines here since year 2000.. The classic vw beetle is one german car that is simple, reliable, sturdy, and easy to maintain. Basic mechanical design with no computer and electronic sensors. I drive a restored 1971 super beetle with a 1640cc engine, petronix ignition, dual solex carbs, and customized airconditioner. It's a gas and go car. I drive it daily with no major issues except for regular maintenance. When everything with electronics breaks down. Only beetles and old mechanical cars will roam the landscape.
@@Badboythatsgenuine But only the IS, GS and LS (even though the GS is gone)... As a Toyota fan, even I will admit that every other Lexus is a "re-badged' Toyota. The only Lexus's that was sitting on it's own platform that was definitely built differently from other Toyota's was the IS, GS and LS cars.
I would be happy with a car that was less than reliable so long as it was easy and inexpensive to fix. The less complexity, the less electronics, the better. Thats what I hate about modern cars. Complexity that makes them throw-aways. Planned obsolescence should be outlawed.
Both countries have produced several models in the 1990s which were offered in both 2-door coupe and 3-door liftback forms. This is what Dodge should be doing with the new Charger, since most fans don’t want a liftback but Dodge still wants to offer it.
My 31 Years old Toyota MR2 Start every time no problem and it looks waay cooler than any other BMW out there. Plus it has the engine where it supposed to go. Behind the driver :)
I disagree on a lot of points, because to be honest, i felt like the chips were spread equaly and sometimes as if so noone of the two "barricades" of the choice wouldn't get offended. Example: let's take the chips with comfortability and smooth ride (that's two points for the germans) when in reality, we'd have to compare the same price segment rather then just two countries. We can all agree that an S class has a much more smoother ride than a camry, but the car classes are totally stretched. If we were to come back to earth on that one- any bmw or a mercedes in under $40-50k price range wouldn't outcompete a let's say a lexus ES in smoothness, quitness, stability and comfortablility. The germans make the ride grippy but not nearly as smooth like japanese manufacturer's do. When Bavarian cars had power in their mindset for years, japanese cars had "ride" as their main focus. Search "lexus glass ad" and check out what year was that.
Bottom line: if you want to really enjoy the drive, buy an over engineered German car. If reliability and simplicity is more important, buy a Japanese appliance. To me, the former is more important, so I got a VW instead of a Toyota. I had to go to the dealer for a wheel alignment, since you need special tools that nobody else has, but hey, fun has a price!
@@AN-ir3rg Sorry, calling BS on that one. I've owned Japanese cars. Don't get me wrong. They were very good cars. But the driving experience just didn't measure up compared to German cars. It doesn't really matter. Buy what you like. I was just stating my preference.

My MB is drivetrain reliable. Everything else os garbage..2007 MB B200 turbo. My mother has a 2015 c300 4matic that has been exceptional. Quality has definitely improved once they split from Chrysler
If you take VW Jetta same year as a Camry it's almost half the price so how I'm going to compare them!? If you want to use a Jetta as a sample I should use on the other hand something like Honda Fit and still you will get the same results in the video nothing will change in all 12 points. Trust me I picked these 2 cars very carefully to make a fair comparison, it wasn't random.
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO THE RATE OF 1 EURO WAS 1.30 USA AND A NEW BMW 3 SERIES WAS $36,000 BASE PRICE OR AT THE EXCHANGE RATE 27,692 EUROS ........NOW A BASE MODEL BMW IS $47,000 USA OR 43,925 EUROS AT THE 1 EURO= 1.07 USA DOLLAR RATE ....ACCORDING TO INFLATION OF 20% THE NEW BMW SHOULD COST 27,692 x 1.20 = 33,230 EUROS SO IN REALITY BUYING A NEW BMW OR MB IS A RIP OFF CUSTOMERS OVERPAYING FROM 43,925-33,230 = 10,695 EUROS or x 1.07= $12,566 USA DOLLARS CAR COMPANIES ARE MAKING A KILLING JUST WITH THE RATE OF EXCHANGE FOR THAT REASON I WILL NOT BE BUYING BMW'S OR MB'S .
Fortunately and Unfortunately, I have all 5 kinds - American, German, Japanese, Italian and Korean. All have their best features, reliability factors and nuiances.

My Ford had now become an endless money pit at 115k miles. Just bought a Honda and i'm yet to see what this japanese reliability fuss is all about. Miss my ford tho
Japanese cars are so boring to drive. Have been driving German cars (BMWs and Mercs) for the last 15 years, generally they have been okay. I'll sell them off at 100k miles. Stick with the standard cars (3/5 series or C/E Class) more reliable than the high powered cars.
What year your dads german cars were? German cars in the 70s 80s 90s were much better than later models, they were really solid cars without any unnecessary over engineering.
I have both cars. At the end of the day, you drive what you pay. They are uncomparable when it comes to joy, comfort and handling. Japanese are boring but when it comes to the reliability, Germans' have got nothing to offer. I buy Lexus GS 350, with 200k odometer, but don't go even close to BMW OR MERCEDES with 100k. Bro, the BMW that you are presenting is 3 series, make sure you put 5 series in youe presentation. And when it comes to fuel consumption, German cars are way better. BTW, my background is mechanical reliability engineer.
Modern German cars are scrupulously efficient. Euro efficiency laws are the strictest in the world. When comparing cars, look at equivalent power, torque and acceleration outputs. Comparing a Camry to an AMG Mercedes is not a valid comparison for fuel consumption. That said, a bi-turbo diesel Audi A6 will accelerate 0-60mph under 5 seconds and manage 60mpg on the hwy. I'm not aware of a Japanese car that can make similar claims. BMW has similar vehicles. Of course, many of the more efficient German models will never be sold in the US market. These days it seems Japanese industry (Toyota particularly) is more conservative, generally prioritising dependability and practicality over cutting edge innovation @@maiden5427
why there are huge availably of Japanizes car parts because of the market. why there is a market for the Japanizes car parts. because they are getting much more trouble than German ! RIP that is the reality !
Thanks for your detailed analysis. However, l don't understand why people compare TOYOTA and HONDA to MERCEDES and BMW instead of LEXUS and ACURA to MERCEDES and BMW. I've driven both Japanese and German cars and my conclusion is, go Japanese if money is a problem and you simply need transportation. Drive German cars if you are well heeled and enjoy the act of driving. 🚖🚘🚕🚓🚙🚐 😅❤️
its a tie, but Japan wins if you want a car that will drive and not give you troubles. sounds like get a bmw if you want to look cool in your driveway, get a toyota if you want to make it to your destination.
True like Mazdas they have good driving capabilities but even better they have very comfortable seats.
My MB is a money pit after 50,000 miles vs my Lexus ES which gave no trouble.
After 50k, its sound like your mechanic has foambrain.
No doubt! But nothing rolls like a Mercedes.

Japanese are boring but when it comes to the reliability, Germans' have got nothing to offer. I buy Lexus GS 350, with 200k odometer, but don't go even close to BMW OR MERCEDES with 100k.
Bro, the BMW that you are presenting is 3 series, make sure you put 5 series in youe presentation. And when it comes to fuel consumption, German cars are way better. BTW, my background is mechanical reliability engineer.
😂😂😂 German cars having way better fuel consumption is a joke right?
Modern German cars are scrupulously efficient. Euro efficiency laws are the strictest in the world. When comparing cars, look at equivalent power, torque and acceleration outputs. Comparing a Camry to an AMG Mercedes is not a valid comparison for fuel consumption. That said, a bi-turbo diesel Audi A6 will accelerate 0-60mph under 5 seconds and manage 60mpg on the hwy. I'm not aware of a Japanese car that can make similar claims. BMW has similar vehicles. Of course, many of the more efficient German models will never be sold in the US market. These days it seems Japanese industry (Toyota particularly) is more conservative, generally prioritising dependability and practicality over cutting edge innovation @@maiden5427
@maiden5427 not joking, owning them with very similar specs, hence comparisons are face base
Very funny to compare BMW and Toyota 🤣 it is even nonsense
Get the mij car first and then the toy after. Seriously
Japan baby
Herman cars =safty mor mon
Japan = not saf not mory mony
German
why there are huge availably of Japanizes car parts because of the market. why there is a market for the Japanizes car parts. because they are getting much more trouble than German ! RIP that is the reality !
Bullshit. Germany cars have better engine? Kus ummak!
Thanks for your detailed analysis.
However, l don't understand why people compare TOYOTA and HONDA to MERCEDES and BMW instead of LEXUS and ACURA to MERCEDES and BMW.
I've driven both Japanese and German cars and my conclusion is, go Japanese if money is a problem and you simply need transportation.
Drive German cars if you are well heeled and enjoy the act of driving.
