bullshit. yeah, for a time american cars may not have been as reliable as a 70's honda cvcc, but that's not the case anymore.
i've seen proof. nice cars, shitty cars, whatever. i sold american cars. i had an old chevy celebrity, was my first car, and try as hard as i could, i could not make that car die. i went way over oil changes every time. once i went about 18000 miles without an oil change. no shit, one of my friends bought the stupid piece of shit and she's still driving it. most reliable car i've probably owned. always started, and it was WAY cheaper than an import to fix. same with my other domestics. quite reliable, and when they did break, i spent 1/3-1/2 of what i spent to fix an import.
$400 for a timing belt? fuck that, i've got a CHAIN.
with today's design, and even moderately decent maintenance, a car will live a long time. 100k miles is nothing. wonder why they started putting the extra digits on the odometer? that's why.
poorly maintain any car, and it will degenerate rapidly. especially a vw.
