Japanese VS German Cars | Mechanic Explains What to Buy

I only drive Mercedes Benz

I have BOTH. My japanese cars are for everyday driving and walmart runs. My BMW is my toy and is pretty much a weekend vehicle and a reminder of why i work everyday - so i can have toys!

But the Chips were made in China so Chinese wins 😂

Now, your comparing a non luxury to non luxury. It should’ve been a Lexus vs bmw

My Ford had now become an endless money pit at 115k miles. Just bought a Honda and i'm yet to see what this japanese reliability fuss is all about. Miss my ford tho

Herman cars =safty mor mon
Japan = not saf not mory mony

German cars are better

Fire video, thank you🤟🏽🐐

Sadly there are only 2 Japanese reliable brands and they’re Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura. Nissan turned into sh…t. Infiniti is reliable but they’re literally going extinct soon.

Fortunately and Unfortunately, I have all 5 kinds - American, German, Japanese, Italian and Korean. All have their best features, reliability factors and nuiances.

Japan baby

I am a German and honestly I would pick Japanese cars since I made good experiences with Toyota, Honda and Subaru. It's what you said already: repairs for German cars are complicated, time consuming and very costly. Especially replacement parts which have to be ordered from the car manufacturers themselves. Also, the German car industry is very exploitive so I am not really a fan of scummy buisness practises at the expense of the consumer. If anything, I would pick Audi or VW, because modern BMW and Mercedes cars pretend to be luxurious at a higher price, when in reality they have questionable compartment parts, features and design flaws in different cases and different models also again at the expense of the consumer. Avoid Opel/Vauxhall (UK).

I’ve completely stopped buying anything other then Honda / Toyota but mostly Honda products and have not had one problem ever

you should compare japanese luxury brands like Lexus, Acura, or Infinity to german luxury to make it fair

If we are talking about reliability for German cars, you can't beat a porsche

Japanese Luxury = Reliability
German Luxury = Status & Comfortability

Simple.

Nice video... Quick without unnecessary BS...High five 🙌🍻

As a BMW owner, I’m jealous when I see a Lexus 😅

Excellent analysis! 👍

Old bimmer owner here if you really wanna drive a German car it’s better you learn how to fix cars on your own. And also buy a manual transmission German car they’re the best.

Bullshit. Germany cars have better engine? Kus ummak!

Japanese engineering the best, they make good quality if they want

I'm an owner of a Honda Jazz....an ex- mechanic etc. You presented an accurate and balanced comparison which I agree with....many thanks. One last thing, an opinion only, but many drivers of German cars push them harder than Japanese owners which may be the cause of less reliability and higher maintenance costs. I am 70+ so no ego and happy to stay in the slow lane and meet the racers 10 minutes later (ok I'm boring!)
Happy motoring to everyone whatever you drive😂

It’s not tie , cuz Japanese cars hit every category and what’s the point of German car if it’s comfortable but will give u other stress

Classic volkswagen enthusiast from the Philippines here since year 2000.. The classic vw beetle is one german car that is simple, reliable, sturdy, and easy to maintain. Basic mechanical design with no computer and electronic sensors. I drive a restored 1971 super beetle with a 1640cc engine, petronix ignition, dual solex carbs, and customized airconditioner. It's a gas and go car. I drive it daily with no major issues except for regular maintenance. When everything with electronics breaks down. Only beetles and old mechanical cars will roam the landscape.

BS you just gave more points to German cars by making the topic so similar ( cooler to present, cooler to drive etc..).. theyre almost the same thing!

Japanese cars are wayyy more reliable

JUST A FEW YEARS AGO THE RATE OF 1 EURO WAS 1.30 USA AND A NEW BMW 3 SERIES WAS $36,000 BASE PRICE OR AT THE EXCHANGE RATE 27,692 EUROS ........NOW A BASE MODEL BMW IS $47,000 USA OR 43,925 EUROS AT THE 1 EURO= 1.07 USA DOLLAR RATE ....ACCORDING TO INFLATION OF 20% THE NEW BMW SHOULD COST 27,692 x 1.20 = 33,230 EUROS
SO IN REALITY BUYING A NEW BMW OR MB IS A RIP OFF CUSTOMERS OVERPAYING FROM 43,925-33,230 = 10,695 EUROS or x 1.07= $12,566 USA DOLLARS CAR COMPANIES ARE MAKING A KILLING JUST WITH THE RATE OF EXCHANGE FOR THAT REASON I WILL NOT BE BUYING BMW'S OR MB'S .

Do you have safty sandals on?

German>>>

金があればドイツ車無いなら日本車以上

I like to have my cake and EAT it too... So Lexus LS is a German type of build car with Toyota reliability, simplicity and ease of maintenance !!!

why dont middle eastern countries make cars ?

German

German cars are left with brand names only. Japanese cars are way superior in quality and minimal maintenance

My 31 Years old Toyota MR2 Start every time no problem and it looks waay cooler than any other BMW out there. Plus it has the engine where it supposed to go. Behind the driver :)

Japanese cars mechanic recommend

If you would like to ship your car all the way to Germany for a few months everytime it runs into a problem, then go ahead

Both countries have produced several models in the 1990s which were offered in both 2-door coupe and 3-door liftback forms. This is what Dodge should be doing with the new Charger, since most fans don’t want a liftback but Dodge still wants to offer it.

Jepanease all time !
Germans are not as good as before

Older German cars - sure, quality AND premium. Unfortunately, quality these days is average at best, and at those prices, why bother?

Means Japanese cars are practical & German cars are a show off.😅

Thanks !

Actually owned german garbage Bmw Audi And The last was Cls Mercedes-Benz. And also owned lexus and Honda . And after experience . For 7 years of use daily . I Would say dont buy German cars they are toys .And if the automative industry continues like this . The will broke and sell their companies. Get a lexus or a Acura

Look at the comment mostly prepared japanese car maybe we are just middle class person

if you ask millionare billionare they prepared german italisn made
but they are just few of them

love to be with them ❤❤❤❤

what about american cars

Thanks for your detailed analysis.
However, l don't understand why people compare TOYOTA and HONDA to MERCEDES and BMW instead of LEXUS and ACURA to MERCEDES and BMW.

I've driven both Japanese and German cars and my conclusion is, go Japanese if money is a problem and you simply need transportation.
Drive German cars if you are well heeled and enjoy the act of driving.
🚖🚘🚕🚓🚙🚐 😅❤️

Japanese cars are so boring to drive. Have been driving German cars (BMWs and Mercs) for the last 15 years, generally they have been okay. I'll sell them off at 100k miles. Stick with the standard cars (3/5 series or C/E Class) more reliable than the high powered cars.

Never going back to german cars ever again. Japanese brands for me till I die !
