Type $$ is testing me

[josh Wyte]

My parents are great fans of Japanese cars.  They
refused to buy German for many years, but for an
unrelated reason.

I watched them put over 130k miles on several Hondas,
Acura Legends, Toyota Supras and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
(talk about a car with gadgets, and none of them
broke!) with just tires, brakes and clutches. (My Dad
is hard on clutches)

They now have 2 A4's and while everything has been
fixed under warranty they've spent more time in the
shop than my parents previous 4 cars.  My Dad is going
to sell the A4's when their warranty expires and step
into a Lexus.

I know it's a generalization, and anything mechanical
can and will break, but it sure seems like the
Japanese cars are much more reliable than their German
counterparts.

I'm beginning to wonder if people are mistaking all
these mechanical breakdowns with the car having
"character".  I love my A4, but I'm selling it when it
turns 95k miles.  I have neither the money nor the
patience to dump large amounts of cash into it when I
could use that money as a downpayment on a new car.
