E30_318i 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) ... this particular car is an American car assembled in AustraliaPfft, Ford America could never build something like the Australian Falcon.* New fairly expensive Japanese cars still only come with 2 airbags. That's cost cutting at it's worst. Though some poeple think they're "safe" cars. No, if you want an example of cost cutting, check out old Mercedes v the new sh*t (I'll shoot myself if any new E or S class will stand up like the old W126, 140 or 124). Although I havent checked one out, I've read that interior of the new 5, X3 and 6 is pretty sh*t for BMW standards too.

hamiltonjapan 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Bro, I've seen the inside of an E30 and that is pretty sh*t. The new 5 is pretty good. And compared to a Jap car much better. The problem with a Japanese car is that after 50,000 km you get rattle. Your shocks are gone and get whip lash every time you go over a speed bump. But I have to admit BMW is simple (and that's good for some and not for others). But if you look at some new Jap cars like the avensis and tianna they're german designed. That's saying something. They know what's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
