I agree buying American cars (not Tesla) is just asking for problems and constant maintenance. But I also don't understand buying high end European cars with rarer expensive parts that require international shipping and only drive on premium gas.

I take the Goldy Locks method, with Japanese cars.. Cheap, reliable and get the job done. If one wants to splurge on something materialistic,I say do it on a house that will probably maintain value decades later. Cars are overrated.. Driving in Brampton, I would want own something that wouldn't anger me for getting rear ended and dinged at parking lots. Hence why I keep a 2000 civic on the road.. Amazing gas mileage and the AC still works!
