Dog and Lemon Guide E30

Recommended Posts

Just got downloaded the report as i brought the book. Thought it would be a great resource for members or prospective buyers, but does seem to bag the e30 a fair bit.

Link Here (hope it works):

The dog and lemon guide isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

Agreed. The author is a complete tool.

If you don't know anything about cars and rely on the Dog & Lemon guide for advice, you will end up buying a Toyota or Honda. They bag pretty much all the euros on the reliability aspect, which is fair tbh for the most part.

Haha i love how E30s are suddenly very expensive to maintain, and completely unreliable. I used my E30 to deliver pizzas without a single issue. Still running strong everyday, and is impossibly easy to fix.

Also the note on local mechanics not knowing these cars.... well they arent exactly rare, so I'd be surprised if it were the first any mechanic has seen..

no car is good enough for the dog and lemon guide

even the cars that get the best reviews are still average at best according to them

Anyone keen to hold a sacrificial burning of the Dog and Lemon guide?

I hate it when people quote it as being some deity of automotive all-knowingness. f**k off already.

I dont know, the only silly thing here is that he's doing a reliability essay on a 20 year old car.

If Toyota's are more reliable, then Toyota's are more reliable.

... and drives a Morris Minor... lol

Lets face it, if you want utter reliability, drive a Toyota. I had one for seven years, never missed a beat (well, there was that time it was a foot shorter thanks to being humped by a Hilux, but that wasn't really it's fault). I hope my Beemer is that reliable when I get it on the road... :ph34r:

European stuff though... Italian, French, English, problems... friend of mine had a Mondeo, and he bagged me for having an 'expensive to maintain' car while spending three times as much on his... I dunno! lol
