QUOTE(daijoubu @ Oct 25 2018, 11:26 AM) Electronics also have improved, but you know why many European cars have sensor problems right? Because they cram a lot of technology into their car due to safety & emission regulation in Europe. Some of these sensors die prematurely, so they need occasional replacement. But in return you have a car that is built as a result of stingent emission and safety regulation. Hello Mr Peugeot sales man.On the other hand, Japanese regulation are not as strict. Even more so Japanese cars that are sold in 3rd world countries, they remove all the sensors and cut on safety features. That is why you get the perception that Jap cars are more "reliable" and "less problematic". You have less things to spoil. Great, if you don't get into an accident. If you do, I'd take my chances being in an accident inside an European car than a Japanese car. Japanese cars with more sensors and stuff, like the newer Civic, you'll tend to find that it is getting their fair share of complaints now. 1) because they got more sensors (finally caught up with Europe), 2) because they are very new in low pressure turbo engines. On the flip side, newer European cars finally got many of their troubles ironed out, and are becoming more stable now |

QUOTE(daijoubu @ Oct 25 2018, 11:48 AM) More reliable, less expensive no doubt. Safety level the newer Jap cars are good too.But if my loved one is fated to be in an accident bang by another car, I'll rather her be inside a continental car than a japanese car. Just ask those in workshop that has dismantled these cars down to their chassis and compared their designs and metal used. Sometimes the value you get from a conti only comes when you don't want it to, such as when it protects you whilst in an accident. For other cars, it may be too late to regret. Just ask many conti car owners who survived in an accident whilst being in their car. Conlanfirm they'll stick to being conti owners for life, even if they had to deal with low reliability or more expensive maintenance. |

QUOTE(daijoubu @ Oct 25 2018, 12:05 PM) Try compare Vios vs 208 or Polo and see. But getting stranded by the roadside or highway, at night waiting for tow truck is not safe.Chassis braces, metal thickness, overall lower in quality than an equivalent segment/priced conti car. The reason conti cars are designed that way is because of their very strict regulation in europe. Besides that, in Japan most of their high volume cars are all small kei cars, and people in japan drive very courteously, hardly get into major accidents. I've driven in Japan before, it makes sense why they dont need to overengineer the car. They are falling behind in the last 10 years, now they are trying to catch up back. But it'll take time. I'll still feel safer behind a conti car than a jap car, especially in our country when the people here drive like nuts |
