拿CIVIC跟MB比?干脆用牛车与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. 大灯清洗喷头 ? 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.

说一说我的德国车和日本车的质量( 转）
 很久没来,露一下头
不知判断汽车的品质可否用进修理厂的频繁程度来决定?
这里水太深,高手太多,本人新人新手,只是陈述事实,不作结论
本人身在北美,有过日本车,HONDA CIVIC LX,自从2001年2月购进直至上个月卖出,共六年,74000公里,除去正常保养,
事故维修,换胎(冬天换雪胎,春天换四季胎),实在想不起来进过修理厂,可否叫做品质好?
因换车上个月卖出,卖价非常好(相对于非日本车).这是否叫做保值率高

我再来讲一下我的另一辆车,大笨熊,左边那辆,应该算是德国车吧很惭愧不是神车
此车自02年至今,已跑112000公里,除去事故维修,正常保养,换胎,因故障维修去过多少次修理厂
已不记得,大概故障如下
1.中控锁失灵
2.CD机故障,经常显示天气太冷
3.大灯清洗喷头弹不出来
4.烟灰缸弹不出来,且照明灯损坏
5.刹车灯更换过一只
6.洗窗液水罐开裂(不属延长期保修范围,自费)
7.冷却液(COOLANT)多次慢性泄漏,更换过接头等,最近一次更换散热器,需工时3.5小时,是这辆车最大一次维修,不过属保修范围,不用我花钱
8.驾驶位座椅松动
9.驾驶位座椅加热不灵
只想起来这么多,有些维修需去两次,第一次做检查,预约,第二次作修理.LP(以前开HONDA)经常嘲笑我,大笨熊实在是够笨的,不如卖掉换LEXUS,嘿嘿,那也是我心中的"神车"
梅赛德斯维修站接待员和我已很熟，去了以后只事一交钥匙即可
梅赛德斯维修站的服务确实不错，大屏幕电视，无线上网，面包，奶酪，热饮（咖啡，茶，热巧等），当然是免费的！如需时间长，近距离可送你去你想去的地方，修好后再接你，或提供给你一辆车（梅塞德斯）。
花在这辆车上的维修保养费用并不多，买车时有4年保修，并购买4年延长保修，共8年。每年两次换胎，每次7，80加元，每15000公里换机油，三滤，约 90加元，每50000公里换刹车片（PAD)4只，约5，600加元，换过4只倍耐力冬胎约1100加元，4只米其林四季越野胎约1200加元，规格可是275，17寸！没有其他花费了。
该车大毛病没有，小毛病不少。不过还是挺喜欢这辆车，0－100公里加速只须7。4秒5L8缸，吃得多也是正常的。享受他的同时，也要接受它的缺点，不低的故障率。
这样的结果可能让德国车迷失望了，和你们的想象差太远，你们可以认为这是个别现象，或者我不走运，或者是在北美，或者说梅塞德斯不能代表德国车，很遗憾我的车不是神车，是梅塞德斯
开了6年，74000公里，0故障率的CIVIC，上个月不得不卖掉，我们家实在停不了三辆车，LP难受好几天，如同卖掉自己的孩子一般，以至于数星期不能接受新车
旧的不去，新的不来！右边的小豹子是LP新买的车，大不列颠制造，操控，加速等等性能还可以，也能没什么好说的听说国内现在开始流行英国车了
该车的质量还不得而知，有人说好，有人说差。不过维修费很贵，换机油三滤和四季胎居然要260加元，机油每16000公里更换一次，轮胎是换而不是买，工时费要99加元每小时，TMD比梅塞德斯还贵，不过和ASTON MARTIN，LAND ROVER，BENTLEY放在一起卖，不贵就奇怪了，这不也能提高一下咱的档次NND
如果有人提出德国车，还是英国车，还是日本车质量好，一年后我可以给出我的答案
