I would have to say that german cars are the best. Even though latley they have been getting bad reviews. I think that people see german cars as very reliable and then don't care of them that well. People expect too much and when something goes wrong because they didn't take care of their cars, they complain and that is why more bad reviews have benn appearing. And also most german cars are pushed harder then most non-european cars. Hondas are seen as really reliable, but you have to take into account that most of them are driven by middle-aged women that don't expect much more than good gas milage. On the other hand, when someone buys a BMW, they see it as a sports car and use it as one, and that is why it is hard to find a used BMW in good condition.
