看了原野青蛙的置頂帖子“亞洲人是如何選擇一輛好車的”http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/auto/375332.html,在傾佩之餘,還是要請眾位大拿解惑。至少,正方提供了各國日車占有率的數據,而反方如破棉襖和九叔都提供了一手資料。我原來的租客,美國白人女性,在底特律長大,她說美車隻能開個8年,所以她買日車。
我好想知道正方的一手資料,這樣俺也可以憤青一把。至於“consumer report”,我還訂閱過的,它推薦的許多產品,隻講特點不講質量,不可靠。車子我不知道,但是,美日的其它東西,家裏用的,由房屋材料、浴室部件、廚房電器,偷工減料每況愈下的實在是個趨勢。
一般的說,最便宜檔次的東西是不能要的,這類似青蛙說的最輕小的車,或我以為的civic/corolla以下的車,據說還有goodman的空調,用戶說公寓用的很多,他的和鄰居的都是不到5年完蛋了。
高檔到一定程度,就是宰人了的也不能買的,像做西服的,可以買機票隨客戶走給改衣服,或者被罵的狗血淋頭的幾十萬美元一輛的大奔(想當年奔馳SUV也是狗血喲)。韓國的冰箱,當年也隻是金玉其外喲。
不像房子,車就是消耗品。消耗品很適合年輕人炫酷。沒錢的買條levi,有點錢買個蘋果,錢多點但又不想或不夠買房子的買個好車。可憐的是錢有限又有氣管炎的或者房奴,隻好精打細算節省每一刀為下一輩子的循環。
話說回來,究竟哪幾款非日車可以買呢?壇子裏推薦過的malibu我也看過,覺得塑料的一塌糊塗,絕不比國產車好。家庭車係美德車的壽命是多少呢?(所知civic/corolla有紀錄26萬以上)還記得當年某個大拿說美車零件鐵陀一個真好呀,結果被人指那是因為熱處理不如日本。
至少,不要因為美車老需要修理,適合練手來推薦吧。究竟哪幾款非日車可以買呢?

"Bought this car with about 70,000 miles. Now has over 292,000! Still has lots of power. One major complaint was door handle breakage. All door handles operate a cable to open the doors. All 5 have broken at least once - 2 of them twice. Age, New York winters and salt will soon force the retirement of our best car to date."

"Never dreamed I would drive a minivan, but I have over 300,000 miles on this Sienna LE and I love it! I have never owned a Toyota and never drove a minivan, but I will definitly be buying another one after this one. The only thing I would change is that it has a cassette instead of CD player and I would improve the speakers."
