It is still the case, though, that Consumers Reports ratings are consistent among brands and models. Compared to friends who buy American cars I’ve had 10x fewer problems and kept my cars far longer.
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoThere are differences in how things are designed. Ford trucks for example have a TON of tubes and hoses for their engines, plastic with cheap fittings. I think it’s a bad idea. Compare that to the RAM trucks that are much more basic and lowered featured but should last a lot longer. The electronics and manufactures are all the same. As far as “customer satisfaction” and “problems” there are hit and misses with all brands. I’ve been in the industry for 25 years and never once had any indications brand was greatly better than another, not with so much inbreeding. When I see people write “American is worse than European” I know that person just doesn’t have enough experience with both. Which is understandable. What does the average person have real experience with? 5 cars, maybe?
