I thought this was just a bit of septic bashing until I went to america and saw the rubbish they put in their cars for myself. Even supposedly high end cars just have crap interiors! A bottom of the range VW Up has a better quality interior than any american car I've ever been in.
To the americans here; why do you guys ever buy them? Surely it must annoy you too?


Because Japanese cars have poor quality interiors, too, and those are the only other cars worth buying.

100% agree. I just bought (4000 miles so far) an Infiniti G37 and it stood head-and-shoulders apart from the American counter-parts.

I tested a number of German cars (BMW, Benz, Audi, VW) as well, but the poor reliability and cost-to-repair scared me away.

I love VW's in your face safety ads. Most people (Americans) don't give any thought to safety when buying a vehicle.

I was driving my '87 VW Scirroco home when it suddenly just shut off. The motor just stopped producing power but made no noises of any type. I rolled to the side of the road. The timing belt had snapped and the motor had proceeded to jam the pistons into the valves. It was totaled.

Answer: no.
(also: what a ripoff of the Smart).


And every minivan is a ripoff of the VW Microbus...whatever.

I was recently in the market for a car and I looked at the Scion iQ and gave it a test drive. It was actually pretty cool and unique, and better than the Smart in almost every way conceivable (I've also driven a Smart). Here's the catch, it's billed as a city car, so it has a crappy CVT Transmission. As well as No cruise control, I cannot have a car without cruise control and this didn't even give the option.

Toyota will get my money when they bring the TOYOTA iQ over from Europe...not some crappy ripoff with bigger wheels.

Chassis-cam says this was filmed in 2000?
I wonder what their government would say about the potential road-damage. Heheh.


Chassis cam also says the time is 00000 and the date is dec 31st. Me thinks it has not had date set.
