My car history includes Fords, Mazdas and Skodas (VW group), so nothing Japanese.
(Edit: Apart from the Mazda.... Obviously.....)
I don't know if the parent was talking about major crashes, or reliability issues, 2 weeks in the shop would be my limit of acceptability for any car, a month, I'd be asking for my money back assuming it were a reliability issue. And multiple 2 week waits or a month wait, I wouldn't be buying from that manufacturer or dealer again, whatever the reason.
Is that my European point of view? have I been amazingly lucky?
- ninjaoxygen 8y agoNot counting the Mazda as Japanese then? Maybe you had one from the Ford-era?
- benj111 8y agoDoh ?! I kind of mentally pigeonhole it with Kia, Hyundai and Daewoo, as they all arrived/got popular at a similar time. In the UK at least. Plus, subjectively, it just doesn't sound like a Japanese name (to me).
- chrisoverzero 8y ago> […] it just doesn’t sound like a Japanese name (to me). "Mazda" is a German spelling of the Japanese name typically romanized as "Matsuda" (松田).
