It all depends on what you want out of a car. The euro car owners I've known have all always said that you need to be very, very diligent about maintenance. They are well engineered to perform IF you take care of them. I think a lot of purchasers don't take that into account which explains the satisfaction and reliability ratings.
I've known people who've owned classic Jaguars. They were in the shop for "care" every month. But the owners loved them anyway. Compare that now to the Ford Jaguars. They're much more reliable but they have zero cachet. Hell, I just saw a new Jaguar that's nothing more than a rebadged Ford Taurus wagon. -Kevin On 8/26/05, Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah I always wanted a Saab too. > > I recently read a report about customer satisfaction and reliability. > The Japanese cars are still tops but not by much, and then the big three > American automakers (is Chrysler still considered American?).
