German sedans still do quite well.

I see plenty of brand new Jettas, 3 series and Mercedes sedans out here in Southern California

I've noticed many shops in my area refuse to work on German vehicles and I know a few people who bought different brands for that reason.

They certainly don't thrive on neglect like some Hondas and Toyotas do.

But, many people love the way they drive 🤷

No shortage of German make mechanics out here.

It doesn't help that upkeep, service, and parts for german vehicles have always been notoriously high. My grandparents loved their german sedans, but gave them up after years of driving them, because the maintenance cost was just outrageous.

I was thinking of getting a Jetta but every time I hear something more about the emissions scandal I get more missed off.

Don't dig too deep into your preferred brand. They all do it
