Can we get a thread going on about the superiority of German cars? Japaniggers with their Hondas are not welcome.

Mason Watson
I don't like you opinion.
Daniel King
I think the general consensus is that they're well-engineered from a performance standpoint, but overly-complicated in a way which makes them expensive to maintain. >Objections?
Jeremiah Perez
>reliable
Sure, after you dump $7k a year worth of maintenance into it. It better be reliable after that.
Ethan Campbell
>t. Not a german car owner
Michael Scott
Thank fuck. I got way too many friends and family that are VW fanboys. Getting beat by Hyundai and Kia in reliability must feel nice.
Wyatt Gray
After having had 3 BMWs
>able to travel at 150mph all day in comfort
pretty much
>look the best
Look alright
>reliable
They aren't
>cheap on the second hand market
They are cheap because they aren't reliable and no one wants to pay those repair prices
>good on fuel
My C4 gets better fuel economy than my M3 did
>great interiors
Usually
>even the most powerful models have styling which doesn't shout about it
Don't know if thats even a good thing
Kayden Turner
>VW fanboys I actually like VW/Audi, but many of their fans make me cringe hard. There's this faglord in my neighborhood who owns a VW Rabbit with an absurdly loud exhaust. He was hooning around at 2 AM last night like an asshole, then woke me up again around 6 AM.
I take comfort in the fact that my bone stock car would absolutely rape that shitheap.
Chase Parker
I might also add that him and his dude-bro buddies were crowded around the car yesterday afternoon like it's some amazing piece of machinery. Ugh...
Blake Collins
german cars are pretty fuel efficient. a brand new e39 with the 3.0 i6 doing 90mph on the autobahn between heidelberg and frankfurt or somewhere in holland gets 30mpg... but that is with the terrain being as flat as possible. but still impressive because the e39 is a 2 ton fatpig
James Rivera
>he fell for the German cars are reliable meme
Easton Jenkins
Had a guy come in to my shop with an AMG and needed brakes. Parts alone were $9k because he took the bait on carbon ceramic brakes which are literally factory ricer mod. The car had only done 35k miles. This idiot was going off at me saying i was ripping him off and gave us a bad google review. Fucking eurocuck drivers
Cameron Reyes
>itt: butthurt poorfag americans who's local mechanic only knows how to work on old hondas and "v8 amercian muscle" meme cars.
Landon Bailey
>150mph all day in comfort only some models >look the best >even the most powerful models have styling which doesn't shout about it not any more
>reliable with more preventive maintenance than the car is worth >cheap on the second hand market because the owner realised it was not worth keeping
Gabriel Rivera
Mmm i sure do love me some german engineering
Cooper Flores
Previous owner probably did that.
Ethan Morris
Check out all this engineering (All this just to change the alternator)
Levi Phillips
Thats just where the wires go. They're pinned down either end i had to unclip it
>superior german lubrication
Logan Carter
German overengineering.
Jackson Evans
More superior german lubrication
Michael Jenkins
How about the oil stream directly hitting this brace thing. That took a downie 20 minutes to come up with, such prestige
Juan Morales
>able to travel at 150mph all day in comfort Some
>look the best Ehh some of them look good, some don't
>reliable LOL definitely not
>cheap on the second hand market Yeah because they're expensive to maintain once out the warranty period
>good on fuel They're on average with everyone else.
>great interiors Only certain manufacturers. New Mercedes have good interiors, BMW does not.
>even the most powerful models have styling which doesn't shout about it That's good if you like sleepers I guess
William Barnes
I like to think I'm one of the few Volkswagen owners who isn't a giant cock munch
Juan Gray
Basically OP is confused. OP really ment to post a panther
Nicholas Watson
>reliable Theyre not >cheap on the second hand market Guess why they dont hold their prices? Theyre shit value because they got shit relability
Cameron Bell
>superiority of German cars There are some good Mercedes and BMW models, but that POS Volkswagen you posted makes me ashamed of my country. 1/10 you made an actual German reply.
Connor Moore
/thread
Hudson Turner
>tfw no C5 RS6 Avant
This is THE sleeper
Carter Hall
>tfw they are all autos
Mason Jenkins
there is reserved place in hell for engineers who made such thing
Jonathan Jenkins
Which M3 did you have?
And how reliable has your C4 been? I always heard C4s didn't have the best wiring from the factory (cheap thin brittle shit so it'd have electrical problems)
>Mfw German engineering is the reason why my driver's seat won't fucking recline
Landon Williams
>mfw German engineering is the reason my seat backs are hanging off
Aaron Nguyen
He needed new brakes at 35k?
I though the carbons lasted forever.
Henry Perez
Porsche and BMW and Benz use a lot of braking in their trac control and stability control algorithms.
Meaning that they eat thru brakes very quickly, even carbon ceramics. Street driven, CC rotors should last 100K, with 3 or 4 pad changes in there.
Charles Ortiz
I agree, I think you nailed it
William Ortiz
This x1000.
What is the best way to fix this? I've tried superglue but I think I need something thicker. How well does double sided foam tape work?
Xavier Carter
>tfw the b5 s4 manual trans is compatible
Thomas Johnson
I read a guy used some metal coat hangers or some shit. Supposedly you can just hack off the old shitty plastic and bend some spare metal into the shape of the fitting, thats what I'm going to try atleast.
The repair kit from Audi is silly money.
William Martinez
sure if you want it to blow up.
Sebastian Smith
Considering the influx of Ahmeds into Europe this is just getting with the times.
Ethan Turner
Not in daily commute driving, they dont get to proper temperature and degrade quickly
Luis Reyes
>able to travel at 150mph all day in comfort
so can any american V8
>look the best
most boring/dull design ever
>reliable
kek
>cheap on the second hand market
more expensive than american cars
>good on fuel
premium only. big thristy engines
>great interiors
usually plastic and shit just like any other car. older models will likely have ripped seats and shit. "Great"
>even the most powerful models have styling which doesn't shout about it
boring as fuck
my LS1 Trans Am goes 155mph and gets 24 mpg. and its drop dead gorgeous
also it cost about as much as a fucking 325i
Logan Parker
no one gives a shit about your trans am cletus
Liam James
You raise valid points but >Trans Am >good looking
Luke Taylor
E36 M3
My C4 has been flawless except some minor electrical bits, namely speakers just cease working
90s electronics are my bane
But I've only had the thing for a year and a half
Brayden Phillips
>its drop dead gorgeous cringe
Jeremiah Morris
please tell me about your dads old 318ti. she gets good "mileage" and is fun in the curvey bits, r-right? lol
>Trans Am >not classic Americana
just the other day i had some qt highschool girls taking pictures of my car at the stop light.
i'm sure your grey-slate BMW gets the same attention
Chase Walker
>minnesota explains everything
Jackson Phillips
i live in IL
maybe you prefer the classic styling of my EF hatch?
Nicholas Evans
this picture explains everything
Ryder Moore
tell me more how your outdated piece of shit isn't slower than a civic
Hudson Baker
Bane?
Anthony Diaz
>mfw
Ian Torres
I love German cars, but my Jap car is just as fast ;) Not for long tho, puttin pulley and headers on the Benz
Caleb Sullivan
>these poorfags claiming their american shitboxes can sit at 150+mph comfortably compared to a german car
haha, confirmed for never having driven an american car at such speeds, letalone a german sportscar.
Corvettes, atleast prior to the C7 were terrifying at high speeds, scary wind noises and overall they felt like they were falling apart.
Jace Sanchez
looks like chocolate milk
Nolan Nelson
>Fastest I've ever driven is 130mph >Mk4 Jetta
Angel Adams
Just get some older Suzuki Alto if you care about reliability.
Or a diesel.
Nicholas Reyes
>a 20 year old car having small cosmetic issues well colour me surprised. all the plastic in my friends 98 Ford Taurus is warped, cracking or just coming unclipped. its not unique to any car maker.
Adam Gomez
>he bought a base model Only the base models had plastic backs on the seats.
Henry Peterson
>mfw it's 13 years old and the range topper with sport seats
