it’s a matter of time.. insurance companies won’t tolerate the big damage of an EV or the replacement cost if one is damaged in an accident.. they will absolutely sting the owner of an EV and force them to insure elsewhere or worse not be insured.
Girlfriend had a LC Torana minor fire in engine bay I pissed on it to put it out I aint trying that with an EV.
Insurance is a biggie because those batteries aren't cheap.
petrol cars will be sought after as less and less of them are being produced.. I’d say my car will be worth more than my neighbours car in 5 years even though he paid 2-3 times more to buy..
I'd stick with the Mazda IMO.
they very nice cars. Those mazda
EV aside, Mercedes are overpriced for what they are. Most luxury cars are. I prefer Volvos over Mercedes, but they're still 20 years behind on the tech side.
Are the German cars made in Germany these days?
Relatively speaking, I don’t think Japanese cars have too many quality issues. Mercedes are just common cars in Europe, Australia pays big overs for them. Are they better? Probably but are they worth 2-3 times? I think no way
Mercedes are still made in Germany. Volvo on the other hand are now owned by China and largely made in China.
Aren't some Mercs made in Guatemala or they stopped that.
German cars are decent quality, but Toyota (Japan) is the undisputed leader of mechanical engineering.
Yeah, all vehicles do that. Mercedes primary factory is in Germany, but the cars are made in 22 different countries.
years back I was test driving a VW polo GTi for a female friend. It was slightly used with a few thousand km.. whilst driving it, the seller says “you just can’t beat the Germans at making cars”… I said to him that could be true.. I have him the benefit of the doubt that he was talking about other cars as the polo GTi was made in Spain.
