However, German quality and reliability is a false perception. ‘German’ consumer goods are generally made in the same Chinese factories using the same components as the rest of the world’s brands and are generally neither more nor less reliable.

But German quality standards are applied in those factories and to the resulting products. The same factories may produce products to less exacting standards.

As for German ‘premium’ quality cars, they regularly dominate the worst positions in the most unreliable car statistics, one brand is particularly poor – looks good though.

This may be affected by how well the cars are treated by their owners.
