Hate it when people assume " oh german cars are unreliable". Or "at 100K they fall apart". I get people have different experiences with them, but it all comes down to maintaining the vehicle. Look at this X5 I mean wow 2001 with 160K looks pristine. Heck, I've seen Japanese cars at 40K or 60K fall apart cause of multiple owners and not regular maintenance. Just because a "Toyota" or "Lexus" is reliable doesn't mean anything because you still need to keep your pockets up to maintain them. One of my friends had a 05 Porsche Cayman and he said it was the best car he's ever had, my cousin had a 2006 X5 with the 4.8 and I remember knowing how fast and solid they are.

You're absolutely correct! They are very high quality cars with excellent build quality. I had an X5 with 224k miles, and despite poor service from the previous owner, it still ran fairly good, except some misfires and a few other issues. If that car was maintained properly, it would run like new. The body was in excellent shape, and so was the interior, beside some wear in certain parts (again, was poorly treated). If you take care of them, they will run for many years and huge mileages without an issue.

The fact that you have to point out specific examples of German reliability says a lot😅 Japanese is known to run and instead people will point out specific examples of flaws. In both cases because it is a rare occurrence haha! The fact of the matter is nobody says "I'd like a reliable car. Let's look at all the German options." 😂

@@DMCarReviews It's nothing against you or your review! I'm just saying that no matter how much one tries to justify German, it is statistically going to be less reliable than Japanese (and most other brands) that's all I'm saying

@@meatball4409 We'll reliability often ignores the pleasure of driving, something that many German cars excel in. For car enthusiasts, the driving experience can be just as important as reliability. My examples of the X5 and Porsche Cayman were to illustrate that when maintained well, German cars can offer a blend of performance, luxury, and reliability that's hard to beat. In the end, it's about personal preferences and priorities. Some might prioritize the low-maintenance, high-reliability aspect, while others might lean towards performance and driving pleasure, accepting the trade-off in maintenance. In fact, one of my cars is an Infiniti, and don't get me wrong it's super reliable, serviced on time, and great to drive, but it does have its flaws. Oil consumption tends to get thirsty, dashboard materials tend to crack due to cheap materials, tires are replaced between 4 to 6 months due to being a heavy car, and faulty lock actuators, just to name a few. Any car will have problems regardless. I always have a local independent shop whenever I need something replaced.

I wanna see some more Toyota, Honda, ford like any American or Japanese car brand vehicles for you to do 0-60’s on…
