come and vote.

i personally vote for German cars.

Today,

my mother went for servicing for her Honda Stream RSZ,

absorber, linkage, mounting , brakes and suspensions all got problem, it costed her 5 digits of maintenance fees.

but this is just the 4th year of her usage of the car.

the spare parts are expensive because nowadays honda, toyota, mazda all imported their cars from Thailand that's why not reliable at all.

however,

my father's UK spec W210 been using for 11 years, accumulated maintenance fees only 7Xk (new engine + superchargers).

11 years only 7Xk, but this honda stream RSZ 4th year already need 5 digits, what's wrong with japanese cars nowadays?


not only my mom's Honda got problems, her friend's Camry suffer the same shakehead.gif

My father got the phone call from the foreman when my mom went for repair and services for her Honda.

HE was so mad that he urged my mom to take the car to Cycle & Carriage sweat.gif

I somehow agree that some Japanese cars are not as durable as their predecessors. Maybe JAV boom make their factory workers lemah abit.
