VW
BMW, merc or audi all make decent cars, probably not worth the premium over say a mondeo for a basic 3 series, but as you go up through the range thy are clearly quality cars for the very wealthy, I would have to have a lot od spare cash before splashing it on one, but I do see the point of them.
VW however are no better than the competition (in many cases actually worse), but still charge a premium for branding, only an absolute fool would buy one.

Driven quite a few BMW's, always underwhelmed TBH, which is a shame because I've always fancied one.
Peugeot for the same reasons already mentioned, same goes for Renault and Citreon.
Wouldn't have a Fiat either, many bad experiences.

Audi, BMW. I don't like the way they are driven...quite often very aggressively turning ordinary roads into their "motorsport arenas" maybe these cars encourage this??

just today traded in the wife's somewhat unreliable Ford, so wouldn't have another in a rush. before that had she a Renault which was very poor, electrics and mechanically, so not one of them.
My last car was a VW Golf and it was lovely but not the most reliable. My current car (Company) is a BMW 3 tourer and it is excellent - streets ahead of the rest on quality and comfort.
Oh, and not a badge snob in any way, as evidenced by today's purchase of a Kia for the wife

land rover land rover land rover and if given the chance i would never have another land rover
Posted 6 months ago # -
Would never buy a rover for a car i relied on
This includes land rovers and range rovers
Which is strange cause i like land rovers and old RRCs and would love to get my hands on an old series 1 for a sunday drive.

When we go car shopping, our top 2 criteria are always (and I'm deadly serious here)
Not French
Not Grey or Silver or any colour that looks like grey or silverAfter that pretty much anything goes.

Vauxhall, I cant see myself ever owning one, never bought one and never have one either.
Posted 6 months ago # -
BMW's only seem to come alive when driven a little hard .
Alfa's now i'd not touch one even if they are a drivers car and Fiats utter crapPosted 6 months ago # -
Make? Dunno. Pretty much all manufacturers have something good in the range.
Nothing under 3L unless it has a turbo and probably nothing without 4wd. Probably. I'm fickle.

Ford- autoeletrics by chimpanzees on PCP
Audi- overpriced tat
pugrot and anything french
American built mercs as they some how remove all the things that merc were famous for, such as build quality and reliability and replace it with nasty plastics, annoying squeaks and the mechanical robustness of a kinder surprise toy.
yes I've owned lots of all of the above
Posted 6 months ago # -
Audi. Same reason as Radioman. That and the "look at me" LED running lights
I've had a BMW. I'd have another. I'd have another Saab if someone else was paying the service bills.
I wouldn't have a Vauxhall. Mrs_drummer had two, a Nova & then an Astra. No end of problems, including on the Astra an EMU that went totally insane
I've had three Renaults. I haven't had a recent one, but I wouldn't be put off.
SSang Yong. I definitely wouldn't have one of those.
Mercedes. Unless someone else was paying the service bills.
I'd have another Alfa. Had two, great cars, shame about the dealers

Oh yeah - vauxhall zafira - worst car ever driven !
Gearbox was more vague than my land rover ! Clutch bite point apeared to be in the dash somewhere
It did good hand brake turns though - hire cars only redeaming feature - it really was a hatebox ! The insignia that replaced it when we went back was a nice if bland car !

I don't believe you can buy a truly bad car in the UK today.
Seems pretty daft to just write off a brand entirely purely on principle - especially a brand like BMW, who, whichever way you spin it, make some fantastic cars.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Rover/MG to add to my list.

SSang Yong. I definitely wouldn't have one of those.
Forgot those. My parents bought one last year despite my advice; a Ssangyong Rexton. They use it for towing their caravan. 2.7 litres of gutless wobbly noise.

anything french or korean

Range Rover / Audi.

I'm struggling to think of any French car I'd buy. Never had anything but problems with every single one I've ever owned/leased/loaned.
See also Fiats and Ferrari's.

I use a lot of hire cars in my job and I've been shocked at how much tat is out there. Ford and Vauxhall both produce junk from my recent experiences and I've even had the odd Seat which has really disappointed, something that I was quite surprised at given their VW links.
On recent experience my next car will not have a Ford or Vauxhall badge on the front. One Focus I had on hire was so flimsy I could see the bonnet flex at motorway speeds
I also hate Vauxhalls insistence on electric parking brakes, hateful things.
On the other hand I've always had a soft spot for Fiats. Yes, they break but there is something charming about them when they are working. Plus when they do break they are cheap to fix, unlike my current 2006 Astra
