- CPLX 3y agoBMWs are also higher quality than Corollas.
- hansvm 3y agoThey have more features, but they break down a ton more often. By all means, if you want ventilated seats then you can get a higher end BMW, but that's a different metric from quality.
- KerrAvon 3y agoYou can get ventilated seats on Hondas and Hyundais. You don’t need to pay high-end BMW money.
- CPLX 3y agoNo they don’t. BMW is consistently in the top 5 rankings for reliability. They’re just better cars, made to more exacting standards with higher quality materials and better engineering and features.
- cookie_monsta 3y ago> BMW is consistently in the top 5 rankings for reliability. And Toyota consistently ranks higher. https://www.drive.com.au/news/most-reliable-and-least-reliable-cars-named-in-the-us/ https://www.drive.com.au/news/most-reliable-and-least-reliab...
- CPLX 3y agoYes so a Corolla is a lower quality car with comparable or slightly higher reliability stats. Unless you think the word quality is just fully synonymous with reliability (in which case a paper airplane beats an F-18) then my point stands.
- cookie_monsta 3y agoI don't know that 72% to 65% is comparable or slightly higher. That seems like a gap to me. And the fact that BMW ranked 10th last year isn't great. Quality is famously subjective, that's why you'll never see it ranked in a way that everyone can agree on the way you can with reliability which is actually measurable. But reliability is one of the markers that most people would use to judge quality. And we generally expect aircraft to go where we want them to without catastrophic failure, so I would think that an F18 is more reliable than a paper plane.
- CPLX 3y agoThe reliability rankings are determined by surveying people and asking them the frequency of repairs. Assuming my paper airplane never goes into the shop it’s going to outrank the F-18. Ain’t a better plane though.
- cookie_monsta 3y agoWell, again "better" is subjective and you would want to agree on some metrics before deciding. Say I wanted a low-cost, lightweight, hand-propelled aircraft capable of flying short distances indoors that I could fold up and put in my pocket afterwards? Which would be the "better" plane then?
