Too Many to mention 3) Quality 4) Durability 5) Reliability. I know myvi also got the last 2 but I am talking in total package. but it is ok to pay a premium price for a German for bad quality....less feature.....7G gearbox. Dont forget years of problematic motoring. What is the point. If the badge is the reason you buy german then admit it . Do give excuse that Lexus is overpriced Jap rubbish blah blah blah. Everybody know when buying german you are paying considerable portion for badge value not component. Disclaimer : Audi is an exception. Lexus is over priced cos it has

Hyundai is not the same class. ? It is like me saying Better buy saga cos 1/10th of the price cos it has steering aircon and wheels. Pls Hyundai is nowhere near Lexus or German makes because it lacks technology. Korean are not know for technology. They focus more on looks to sell the car. You see Korean are not know for anything.
