well the thing is traditionally germany made reliable products, and well
I don't get that actually.
like because of historical durability and quality of products, you felt safe buying from german manufacturers
it's the same with japanese stuff
Doesn't VW, BMW, and Mercedes stuff tend to be hit-or-miss?
They make some amazing shit
But holy shit do they make a few stinkers
I have a personal dislike of VW
Mercedes I like, their stuff is usually good
except for the late 90s early 00s
BMW used to be good, now the only good BMWs are the big engined ones
their small engines are trash
also
bmw make this
Well globalism has made it a lot more irrelevant, now it's all a matter of tradition
But different schools of thought generally belonged in different geographic locations for a very long time
And availability of materials in manufacturing, as well as manufacturing knowledge, was also geographically limited
German engineering is renowned for a solid reason, even if it's no longer warranted
I recently bought a bosch drill because bosch are usually good quality and well made and my old drill was a bosch and really good, the new drill is nowhere near as good as my old one
it just doesn't have the build quality
also my pressure washer is a karcher and it's FUCKING GARBAGE
Tis also why honda is overrated
that isn't true, the pump and internals of my pressure washer are acceptable
but
the pump is held in place in the plastic body
by fucking polystyrene
Value enginerded
it's disgustingly poor that they skipped out on plastic brackets for just bits of shit packing material
But I still stand by my claim, french cars are the best cars.
ew
Have been, are, will continue to be.
faguettes
credit where it is due on french cars
peugeots diesel engines are pretty solid and reliable
Diesel is for queers
but that's basically all that comes out of france that is okay in terms of automotive stuff
Take one look at the citroen cactus and say that again
citroens more like shitroens, renault more like renfault
Agreed that a diesel is the gayest type of car to own.
