Gusto ko pa naman sana yung 1.8T na Jetta... GTI na lang.

Ako gusto ko pa naman yung VW Golf(turbo) ganda kase nung shape eh..hehe
Ano ba madalas nasisira?
Wow BMW 7 series sirain..tapos Benz at Jaguar..Mga favorite cars ko pa naman yun..

[badkuk]

this is a surprise...impression ko pa naman pag German e matibay. Well, except maybe for the beetle; pakiramdam ko people like it for sentimental, not technical, reasons. air cooled engines in Manila traffic? what were they thinking?!?

[benchph1]

Benz S-class, BMW 7 Series? these cars breach the 5 million purchase price. and yet they are still not reliable..what a bummer

Yes, if you frequent foreign boards ng mga German cars, a common sentiment is "My insert any Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura car here costs 30% less and doesn't give me any problems"... hehe

afaik bimmers are far less reliable than a civic or rolla. prestige lng talaga binabayaran dyan hehe
