    Japanese cars are trash. The transmission is stocky usual and the steering wheel in most rice cups simply without motoric feedback

    More dependable then most other cars out there though. Ownership of certain cars will bankrupt you as they age. Top of the list are European cars. The worst offender is Audi. I tell people never to buy those cars, not unless they want to sell it off in two years in that case just lease it.

    Here's lucky. And yeah anybody that says they don't like something from Germany is just lying because they don't like Germany.

    Most people here don't really have any opinion on Germany what so ever.

    I think it's kind of funny how personally you take my opinion on certain cars. You think disliking some German cars is some how bigotry.

    I don't think land rovers are worth a damn either does that mean I hate India?

    I think Italian cars are the worst contraptions ever built does that mean I hate Italy. Lol.

    We have our own mechanics at police department and they never say anything bad about VW, Audi and Mercedes. We have no issues with German cars.

    I was in Hamburg 10 days ago. You really need to do something about the trash and homeless people. Furthermore, I saw a lot of Arab people there you say aren't in Germany. Not impressed at all. Over rated.

    Since when is Hamburg in Eastern Germany?

    Btw you were not in Hamburg. Neither 10 days ago or 40 months ago. You are a notorious liar. ;)

    Why would you have mechanics if they never have problems?

    Seems stupid to keep mechanics on staff then doesn't it?

    Because we have to change tyres, make checks ect. Cars get damaged on patrol ect.

    What kind of rubbish question is this? When demonstrators smash a stone into the windshield you suggest we let it be like it is?

    Dude get real.

    That doesn't require a mechanic.

    Replacing windows doesn't require a mechanic.

    It does requere a mechic department. You are free to write a letter to our Innenministerium to suggest, that the German federal police should not employ mechanics and just throw damaged cars away.

    The yearly TÜV check up? Forget it, throw the car away.

    Dude...what a joke. You should mark your posts as satire.

    If a window needs replacing on my car I don't take it to a glazier I take it to a car mechanics. You're having a bad day. Take a break :handshake:

    No it requires a body shop.

    Mechanics don't replace windows and do body work that's a body shop.
    That doesn't require a mechanic.

    Because you don't know what a mechanic does?

    I've been a mechanic for 20 years I've not only never replaced a window I've never seen another Mechanic do it. If you take it to a mechanic they sublet the work to a window guy or even cooperation.

    Never heard it called a glazier, but yeah.

    So many people don't seem to know how it works.
