Is this really the case with all of them? Is there not one Euro car that combines a good driving experience, beautiful design AND reliability?

I'm almost starting to wonder if it's not a better idea to lease a new car since a lot of them now offer free maintenance on top of their warranties for 4 years.

For the love of good, please don't make me have to buy a Honda.
Stay away from VW. They are some of the worst made cars in North America. The main problem with buying a used European import is that they will all need maintenance and maintenance is ridiculously expensive for these cars.
