Not at all.

I mention my cars and you waffle on about German cars. I slip in my past liking for Audis and you provide a link to some subjective Audi bashing.

You see, the snag is... The annual reliability surveys where I am tend to confirm the excellent long term sense of the German marques. A bit depressing given the heritage of a once proud UK car industry but there you go.

My understanding doesn't seem to be similar to yours. Lots of reasons for that. But having noticed you are slagging off cars that are just about as good as they get (include VW for good measure, both Mrs Musket and I have owned them with no issues) and K fail to see how definitive your observations are. I ensured my comments were qualified by pointing out it is mainly new cars I am talking about. You dragged up a website that is supposed to impress?

We can all do that. If I could be arsed I could list ten websites saying x manufacturer is the best and a further ten saying they push rusty junk for a living.

The most reliable older car I ever owned was a ten year old (when bought and kept for three years) Audi. The biggest heap of rusty unreliable dustbin on wheels happened to be a Fiat.

My mate however swears by Fiats.






Although he's a foul mouthed fucker, he swears by most things.
