Are German Cars Unreliable Now?!

[@REVlogue]

This video is not meant to belittle any German car brands. Please watch the video till the end 🙏

[@petersmith2040]

German car brands, in general, are unreliable in the USA & Canada but are generally reliable in Europe, Australia and NZ. Watch this linked video to find out why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpuqqaWvob-Uftk

100 years of experience, you can't tell me these people don't know how to make more durable and reliable car. They just choose not to. It's business.

[@REVlogue]

Not many people keep their cars for more than 5 years anymore, so they stopped caring. As for used car market, they love making the money off the parts bin and labor costs. Totally see where you're coming from.

[@rchot84]

What made me think these brands are unreliable? Hmm working for AAA and seeing BMWs Benz and Audi that just plain won't run over and over and over again. Parts made out of plastic. Run flat tires that actually go flat and leave people stranded. I could go on and on.

[@speedygonzalez3814]

I agree with you maintenance is very important but they could build a car that is half reliable as Toyota or Honda

[@kavindugilshan]

I live in germany . But i will definitely choose a Japanese car .

[@chriskonte1909]

Same here. Listen to us Germans don't buy our cars used xD pls Buy a manual if it's possible and you'll be rewarded with a better driving experience and also an overall better reliablity score ^^

[@xkky6126]

@@issavibez394 Your Cadillac drives like shit. You know why? Because every car from america drives like shit. Terrible handling and shit quality. If i want a high chance to die by an small accident i will buy an American car. If i want a car like the c63 amg which one can i buy? Absolutely no car in this world. This is what a german car can do.

[@pepsicherry6389]

Hello, I'm a car Mechanic from America for 27 years now. I want to tell the reason why people think German cars like BMW, Mercedes and Audi are not reliable anymore like it used to be in the past. During my years as a car Mechanic I have repaired countless German cars as well as Japanese and American cars. One remarkable case I saw during the years were, German car mileage were mostly manipulated compared to Japanese and American cars. You wouldn't believe how many cars mileage are manipulated if I would tell you. Its a big crime which is not loudly spoken. Lots of cars with over 250k to 300l mileage were sold as 100k mile. Why? Because German cars have the most profit margin. A used BMW with 100K gives you insane more cash than a BWM with 250K mileage. Beside of that I saw many people who actually can't afford a car buy a BMW or Mercedes 3rd, 4th hand etc. and skip maintaining it. If they maintain it, they do the minimal maintain.

[@REVlogue]

Wow that's crazy. Thanks for the insight.

[@pepsicherry6389]

@@REVlogue Btw, I forgot to mention. They reason why CarDealerShips are not doing anything against it, It's because big organization do it too. If you don't play the game, you get blacklisted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXvGk3p3p9Skhtk

[@anthonyhoang203]

I drive Japanese cars so I won't have to worry about wasting money on maitence. German cars come with all kinds of cost

[@Hi-Five-Ghost]

Who are we kidding? The short answer is yes. You don’t lose 3/4 of the value of your cars in 2 years, because you have a reputation of reliability. Japanese luxury is a prime example of luxury cars able to maintain the bulk of their value, while also lasting on the road 10+ years. German cars are trash now, they have a strong engine, with all the fancy trimmings, but they’re duds. They’re basically all expensive plastic surgery, meanwhile Lexis/ Acura works hard to at the gym to maintain that physique

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

The reason I think they are unreliable is because I always see them on the side of the road. BMW especially.

[@Guitarnoob99]

BMW-Big Money Wasted

[@tectorama]

A chap I know used to by a new BMW every couple of years, as a company car. He got fed up with the dealer charges for doing even the smallest of jobs on it. He now gets Fords.

[@feelingafnar8885]

My Passat has 300,000 miles because I properly take care of her. I bet American cars could potentially get this much life if you took care of them. Or any other nation. Even Volvo can get awesome lifespans and they're known to be a junk brand in USA. It's just because people buy the cheapest gas and don't change oil often enough.

[@beaches2mountains230]

I'm speaking from experience and I would love to be able to buy an S8 again without worrying about so many electrical problems happening and yeah they're fun to drive when they're not in the shop don't get me wrong German cars are fun to drive but they put Innovation ahead of reliability which they should never have done in my opinion!

[@NoobToobJamarMemes]

According to most mechanics, German cars are now unreliable and/or very expensive to maintain.

[@rrinterieur6842]

Thing is, you want to drive like you are in the fast and the furious in a german car. You dont want that in your hyundai tucson

[@Kayin520]

Maintenance means a lot of things. Not just the oil change. Exactly my thoughts

[@REVlogue]

I mean this goes for any car, but specifically fancier cars with fancier features especially.

[@borinvlogs]

Just keep up with scheduled oil, filter, spark plugs etc change. You will be okay!

[@REVlogue]

Completely agreed. I really want to debunk the myth about German cars being unreliable.

[@endzenju]

@@REVlogue What about infamous 2.0 Liter engine chain of F10, F30 that goes bang without no warning without even reaching 100k km? Rubber belt seems to be more reliable than this cheap string of metal...

[@REVlogue]

I think every brand has its set of problems not just German made...

[@jamesgarner2103]

absolutely! you never ever want to buy them, only lease them if you've got an LLC so you can look good in front of your clients. that's why you never see old german cars on the road, only old japanese cars. truth.

[@nomad1517]

I've heard the reliability dropped because of trade issues. German cars made in Germany are reliable, but if they are sold in the US, they are made in china, same with volvo. I could be wrong.

[@Sandi_UK]

Great video. Great thoughts....

[@deathshadowx5790]

Unreliability for some people means high maintenance cost. As some cars age they cost more to maintain than its value.

[@issavibez394]

They still suck

[@sritanaiballem6886]

Funny how this video came in my recommended when I saw a newer BMW pulled over on the side of the road.

I love the brand in general like the design ec. but reliability does not go well with BMW brand ... when I was doing my research it seems like the same issues keep coming back with every new generation in particular the engine problems especially leaks EVERYWHERE !!!! timing chane problems, vanos, water pump and so on fucking hell

They should release a car every 3 years instead of yearly.

[@jameswan670]

German car is not reliable unless they stop to use poor plastic and rubber on engine. Of course poor cam chain of BMW must be purnished.

[@issavibez394]

Either way junk but ur right most cars nowadays are bunch of plastic especially the new Mercedes so much plastic

[@jameswan670]

Plastic and rubber of Toyota and Hyundai arent like German car. Their car is far better than German cars.

Yes. Pack ton feature but not include reliability.

The german car are so bad in reliability...expensive in maintenance,bad in fuel consumsion...and toyota is the best builder car in the world.

[@alexcorleonee]

My Mother had a 2012 Toyota Prius and drove it for 300K Miles and never had any work done to the car NOTHING. I believe the breaks were changed once for the whole 300K and oil change was done every 5K. The car was then sold for for 5K and still running like a champ.

[@2003AudiS3]

Both my parents have had German cars for years now and they have never failed. When people say German cars are unreliable, they don’t know what they are talking about. Maybe they don’t get the required maintenance and when their car breaks, they blame it not on themselves but their car
