are they that much worse than american cars?
if you ask me i rather walk or ride a bike..
us, and german cars are only cars which are worth of $

*italyan-cheep plastic, finish work is on cheep materials except some great brands - ferrari, lamborghini...
*french--no comments only bad things abou it very quick price drops down, too many failures and cheep stuff from china etc,
*US nice but too much $$ here in EU
*german--nice expensive but it is worth every cent you put in it and price will stay high for many years
*UK-- nice allmost every car is expensive but luxury...
*finland-- saab and volvo i think they are from finland, saab never change its look, cheep and old stuff in interior
*spanish-- seat- VW is owner of it so what could you expect seat=vw
*romania--dacia- french ****, its for poor people who doesnt give a fck about what are they driving, in german test that car flips in corner on the roof so you can imagine which quality is that
*croatian--i dont know the name but they are new-- the biggest **** ever, made by china/russia, cheep and old technology
*czcech-- škoda-- like seat vw is the owner

its just my opinion i ma not looking only high expensive cars or some sport cars but in general ...

ps. my friend just told me that his citroen c3 has oil leak, speedometar inside, just drops dead and he dont know how much ihe is speeding and yes now everything is digital, rear doors want get closed you must use biig force, and some small thing, and its NEW car only old from few months its city car so he only used in city, if you ride it every day it breaks down right but not after few months or year but after couple of year but no japanese, french cars get broken very quickly


ps. sorry for bad english:oink:

That was advice from some book I can not remember the title to, and it was refering to the few French cars that made it into the American market. Those cars were very bad. I have no idea how they are now, I just always found it funny.

The quality of French Cars has improved in leaps and bounds over recent years. I'd take a Renault or a Citroen over a GM/Dodge/etc. anyday of the week.

only problems with french cars, they SUCK, german techonolgy rules..

talikng from experience of my friends and other people on auto-magazines etc.
You ever own a VW Corrado? Or a MKIII/MKIV?











Owning a VW can take a certain amount of patience..........and maybe a parts car or two.

top gear didn't like it all too much. said it was uninspiring :(
really? Thats a bummer. It seems like its got all the fun elements.

I've only seen a few episodes of top gear before and I remember someone posted a big list of them on here a little while back. Maybe its in there.

Why would i want to do that
so you can eat a real big mac too.

plus you can ask all the questions you want to unsuspecting people, in say a mall, in the thickest accent you can fake.

am sure that´d make a great tv show, like borat.
