I LOVE German cars. But they suck when it comes to maintenance, simplicity, and reliability. Weird for the sake of being weird. You buy a German car knowing it is going to cost you more to keep going than anything else. You have to accept it, and budget for it....

I apologize if it came across as snobbery, it wasn't meant to be so. I was simply trying to give some context for my comments, I wasn't trying to be rude or insulting, but I was rather abrupt. I should never have responded to the troll with whom I got into it, that was petty and immature...
My last two rentals were a Mustang convertible (Vegas has a billion of them I swear), it was a shaking mess but it made fun noises in a straight line, the one prior was a 2013 Jetta...definitely a rental special, decontented to hell and back...it was weird, no cruise control but it had heated cloth seats...and the CVT/engine combination was not well chosen. But, the suspension was really nice and it was well built.
I had a 83 320i for a while, cost me a fortune to own...
I almost bought a Mercedes when I bought the Lexus. I could afford to buy either but I didn't want to pay the upkeep on the Mercedes, the 335 x-drive had a divine suspension and powertrain but I didn't like the plastics and the interior was like a tomb, so it was out. Didn't drive an Infiniti because I find Nissans loud and rough. I drove an Acura but the TL is weird looking to me, and I thought it was too big.
Then there was the Triumph...if you like working on electrical systems I encourage you to buy one...
