Can a car be a reliable car and an high maintenance car?

Question

okay for ex. A mercedes benz , bmw r reliable cars though they r expensive but do they require alot of maintenace or is it just cause the parts r expensive or what?

Answer 1

To answer this question directly, no. All cars require steady maintenance. A high maintenance car is one that needs more repairs than usual. Therefore, it, by its nature, is considered less than reliable. It breaks down more often and you can not count on it. A reliable car is one that, even if you don't maintain it as well as you should, just keeps on keepin' on. The cars you mentioned may be reliable, but the standard maintenance is simply more expensive. I find that Japanese cars are the most reliable.

The terms reliability, high maintenance, and expense of maintenance are not synonymous.

Answer 2

Usually expensive cars are considered reliable cars too... but
I don't say these cars need lots of maintenance, as it depends
on the proper driving usage and how the car is well kept under
rigid condition when used in unfamiliar terrain...expensive parts?
they are affordable...

Answer 3

There's a big difference between maintenance, and repairs.

Everything needs maintenance. Some more than others.

Parts cost, and labor time is the key!

Answer 4

You don't need to be driving an old bmw if you can't afford a new one. get a honda civic, they are quite nice and never are a maintenance problem like an old crappy bmw. Besides i would never buy a german or french car, THEY HATE US!!!! WATCH THE NEWS!!!!

Answer 5

it is because the parts and labor are so expensive for these cars
