  • Germans are punctual, orderly, and very reliable - right? Reliability is considered a typical German virtue. But does this stereotype hold? In our series ‘Your Inner German,’ Euromaxx reporter Josephine Günther grapples with her inner German conscience.

    Been living in Germany for 2.5 years. Have watched this reliability erode in front of my eyes.

    German engineering, it will last forever as long as you do exactly as the instructions suggest. Toyota's policy, anticipate the instructions will not be followed and prepare for that.

    this 'made in Germany' video met expectations. it reliably delivered the promise of its title and was an interesting and quality disclosure!

    I like the amount of effort done into VFX. Tracking of that character is done very well. If you add "contact shadow" near the foot next time, it would improve the quality very much

    As an American, German vehicles are definitely far more reliable than domestic models - but roughly equal to the Japanese ones. The German cars are far more expensive to fix and require more regular maintenance ... but they are also far better to drive, and generally better equipped as well. Of course, often neither are actually produced in their nominal home countries ...
    Full disclosure: we own 2 German vehicles and 1 Japanese vehicle in our family currently, with a long history of both producers in our driveway. And very few American ones.

    German car manufacturers relied too heavily on their reputations for decades while other manufacturers made proper innovations. Quite strangely people who insist on some kind of superiority of (their) German brand car almost always share a specific tax bracket, and some unexplained deep-seated insecurity.

    Here in Canada, the reliability of Toyota, Mazda, Subaru and Honda is far superior than that of any German brand, as well as easier and cheaper to repair.

    Well globally, I have never seen tradesman reliable. Nor the people working for the government. So its not typically German. Also I have never ever seen anyone saying that he is not reliable. Its up to you yourself to make sure that that person does what is agreed with him.
