Please tell me why is it that European Cars are always better than those of American Built... I am not from US

Answer 1

Well if you compare European cars like Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Audi, and Lambo - you'll notice they are all premium brands and cost more than any American car (the American cars in the same price range are quite good cars actually - see the STS-V or anything from Saleen)....

As for the only other two popular European models in the US - VW and Volvo --- VW's are notorious for being unreliable and money pits... Volvo's are pretty nice - too bad it's now owned by FORD (same with Jaguar actually)....

Europe makes the best cars period - but you have to pay for that quality. For value Japanese cars kick both American and European car's butts.

Answer 2

Nothing like a little ethnocentrism to bring out the best in auto discussions.

Based upon the responses by thousands of North American drivers over many years, Consumer Reports states that new Asian cars have 12 problems per 100 cars, North American cars have 18 problems per 100 cars and European cars have 21 problems per 100 cars. Among the worst in reliability were Mercedes Benz and Land Rover. The good news is that even a piece of crap car today is much better than the best car was 15 years ago. The bad news is that the European auto industry needs to get its nose out of the air and onto the grindstone - just like the North American auto industry.

Answer 3

Well the European cars usually are more safer and better detailed and built with better materials ,....on the other hand the American rides... himm.. they are nice .. but not luxurius as the European vehicles... when you sit in a Mercedes or a BMW you can always see the difference between a Ford or a Chevy.

Answer 4

I love that word "ALWAYS". I'll agree that SOME European cars (i.e. BMW, Porsche, etc.) beat most off-the-shelf American cars but I remember driving a Fiat which broke down one a month on schedule. I remember that in Germany, Mercedes (not Mercedes-Benz) are an extremely common car that aren't a bit better than American models.

Answer 5

Depends on what brands you are talking about because it isn't true in general.

Want to explain European cars like Fiat, Jaguar, Opel, any English car. They are very unreliable.

Answer 6

I agree they are too. I drive a Honda Accord, and at 160,000 miles it runs like new. I am thinking they are made out of better quality materials. I have had a Ford once and it was a piece of junk at 80,000

Answer 7

Who said they were?

Answer 8

i don't know about that!!! ASIAN maybe but it all depends on how you take care of your auto ,too.
