German cars, especially Audi have an excellent reliability reputation and are among the best built cars in the world. From all I have heard, Italian cars are not so reliable.

The unreliability is the Italian influence DigitalOxygen. German cars, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi etc are famous for being the most reliable in the world. Italian cars however, are not so good in that department.
