German reliability: the greatest myth

[rturbo 930]

My 86 Jetta has been super reliable. 500k miles and hasnt needed much more than oil changes. It does need some more major maint items now though. I think they were generally a lot more reliable in the 80s and earlier and then went downhill in the 90s.

I've spent over 60k on my e30s and vw over the past 12 years.
my sister has spend less than 2k on her toyota in the same amount of time.
she owns a house, i still rent.

Their heyday was definitely the 80's... I'm looking at you e28, e30, w123. No, not you, Audi. Not looking at you.

I think it's mostly because it's true.
