Why are Japanese cars considered to be more reliable than US or European cars? - LemmyWorld

I’m driving a21yo Nissan in Germany. No VW for me, thanks.
Man, I’m driving a 20yo VW here in the US. If I were driving a Nissan instead, just how old would my car be??
Well, if we assume seven Nissan years for every VW year…. ;)
