From Honest John a few years ago:

Repair bills for a £60,000 car bought for £12,000 reflect the £60,000 rather than the £12,000. You can reduce the odds quite a bit by opting for a Lexus. Japanese 'quality' far exceeds anything out of Germany.

And still exceeds anything coming out of Germany!

Personal perception is often at odds with facts on most subjects.

Take look at this and complete the quiz , if you have the time.

Perception is everything, Reality is Meaningless.  I got 52% on the quiz. (amazed)

However 'There are lies, damned lies and statistics', so even the quiz is based on data gathered by people who may not have actually put down the 'truth'.

In the meanwhile a Japanese motor is always a better quality bet then Vorsprung durch horensagen (Progress through hearsay)

Well done Pete.

Sadly,I seem not to be aware of anything I thought I knew !!
