I’ve always thought honest Johns views to be thoroughly unbiased and informative
Unlike some people whose views are clearly the opposite I’m of the opinion ALL cars have their own particular faults and there’s no perfect car out there Just pay a visit to yr local scrap yard and see the countless rows of supposedly superior german brands When you look at the Japanese aisles you’ll notice the difference Regards Chris |

Pehaps the number of BMWs in the scrapyard is a reflection on the number on the road. These days, 7 out of 10 cars I see on the motorway seem to be German. Most of them will get to well over 100,000 miles, by which time depreciation and expensive dealer repairs makes them scrap-worthy to their owners, but probably a good buy to someone handy with spanners. I see more French cars in my local scrap yard - they just become an unreliable PITA. Jap stuff just keeps going until the rust gets it, or something does finally go wrong with it, and the owner panics! We carry on with our MGR products because they have character - like the British - great fun, but cussed and obstinate on a bad day!

TopGear was all scripted, and they were told what to say, if you wantch old and new epidodes involving clarkson you will note that his opions seem to be at odds with each other.
Im not a fan though, I own a Marina so you can imagine my thoughs.... |

What MG John said, both here, and above. Still, it allows us spanner monkeys to have nice cars, cheaply. I just wish I had more space and the wife's approval to buy more of them.
