拿CIVIC跟MB比?幹脆用牛車與MB比算了,0故障! -- Bravo!

(My answer only. Oringinal post included below)

If you compair a same class Jap car with your MB from the same year, oh wait, Jap did not have one then, never mind. 大燈清洗噴頭 ? yap, the civic never had a problem with that, never.

It is generally believed that jap cars do have a better quality. Fine, with me. They wish that the perceived "better quality" and of cause cheap price, are all that people consider when they decide which car to buy.

Let's get onto a another higher level while we are on this. Is there anything else you consider before chosing which car?
How about:
safty?
convenience and equipment?
service?
enjoyment which you can get from the car besides a bare transportation tool?
your tast and individuality?
the performance and the feel of your driving experience?
your projected personal/self image in this world and the personal statement you make about your "being"?
or even about your political view? or certain things you stick called principle?

I know, all those mean nothing to some people. I also know many many people still has bones in themslves. Many people who still believe in something. Many people who do their grass-root effort to "drive" at bigger achievements (pun intended).

I also agree that some jap cars might have a better quality when comair to othe cars in the same class, for now. They might also last longer, say over 10 years? But do you still want to drive that over 10-yr old toyota with basic equipment while others are enjoying safer better equiped newer cars? Don't you see the night vision, auto-parking, and other new technologies are around the corner? For me, I do not care about those xx-yrs-later quality. I enjoy over 50k automobiles with about only 500 bucks a month every 3-4 years. Yes it is called leasing. This way, while I can, I get to drive whatever the car I wish. No jap cars, for now.

If all you care is a cheap long-lasting basic transportation tool no matter who makes it, you are then excluded from this discussion. Thank you.

說一說我的德國車和日本車的質量( 轉）
 很久沒來,露一下頭
不知判斷汽車的品質可否用進修理廠的頻繁程度來決定?
這裏水太深,高手太多,本人新人新手,隻是陳述事實,不作結論
本人身在北美,有過日本車,HONDA CIVIC LX,自從2001年2月購進直至上個月賣出,共六年,74000公裏,除去正常保養,
事故維修,換胎(冬天換雪胎,春天換四季胎),實在想不起來進過修理廠,可否叫做品質好?
因換車上個月賣出,賣價非常好(相對於非日本車).這是否叫做保值率高

我再來講一下我的另一輛車,大笨熊,左邊那輛,應該算是德國車吧很慚愧不是神車
此車自02年至今,已跑112000公裏,除去事故維修,正常保養,換胎,因故障維修去過多少次修理廠
已不記得,大概故障如下
1.中控鎖失靈
2.CD機故障,經常顯示天氣太冷
3.大燈清洗噴頭彈不出來
4.煙灰缸彈不出來,且照明燈損壞
5.刹車燈更換過一隻
6.洗窗液水罐開裂(不屬延長期保修範圍,自費)
7.冷卻液(COOLANT)多次慢性泄漏,更換過接頭等,最近一次更換散熱器,需工時3.5小時,是這輛車最大一次維修,不過屬保修範圍,不用我花錢
8.駕駛位座椅鬆動
9.駕駛位座椅加熱不靈
隻想起來這麽多,有些維修需去兩次,第一次做檢查,預約,第二次作修理.LP(以前開HONDA)經常嘲笑我,大笨熊實在是夠笨的,不如賣掉換LEXUS,嘿嘿,那也是我心中的"神車"
梅賽德斯維修站接待員和我已很熟，去了以後隻事一交鑰匙即可
梅賽德斯維修站的服務確實不錯，大屏幕電視，無線上網，麵包，奶酪，熱飲（咖啡，茶，熱巧等），當然是免費的！如需時間長，近距離可送你去你想去的地方，修好後再接你，或提供給你一輛車（梅塞德斯）。
花在這輛車上的維修保養費用並不多，買車時有4年保修，並購買4年延長保修，共8年。每年兩次換胎，每次7，80加元，每15000公裏換機油，三濾，約 90加元，每50000公裏換刹車片（PAD)4隻，約5，600加元，換過4隻倍耐力冬胎約1100加元，4隻米其林四季越野胎約1200加元，規格可是275，17寸！沒有其他花費了。
該車大毛病沒有，小毛病不少。不過還是挺喜歡這輛車，0－100公裏加速隻須7。4秒5L8缸，吃得多也是正常的。享受他的同時，也要接受它的缺點，不低的故障率。
這樣的結果可能讓德國車迷失望了，和你們的想象差太遠，你們可以認為這是個別現象，或者我不走運，或者是在北美，或者說梅塞德斯不能代表德國車，很遺憾我的車不是神車，是梅塞德斯
開了6年，74000公裏，0故障率的CIVIC，上個月不得不賣掉，我們家實在停不了三輛車，LP難受好幾天，如同賣掉自己的孩子一般，以至於數星期不能接受新車
舊的不去，新的不來！右邊的小豹子是LP新買的車，大不列顛製造，操控，加速等等性能還可以，也能沒什麽好說的聽說國內現在開始流行英國車了
該車的質量還不得而知，有人說好，有人說差。不過維修費很貴，換機油三濾和四季胎居然要260加元，機油每16000公裏更換一次，輪胎是換而不是買，工時費要99加元每小時，TMD比梅塞德斯還貴，不過和ASTON MARTIN，LAND ROVER，BENTLEY放在一起賣，不貴就奇怪了，這不也能提高一下咱的檔次NND
如果有人提出德國車，還是英國車，還是日本車質量好，一年後我可以給出我的答案
