It doesn't matter where the car is from, if there's an idiot behind the wheel it's going to break. Every car needs maintenance on things like spark plugs, brakes, etc.--it's when non-regular maintenance parts break when it says something about the car company. Ford Pintos that blow up, Eclipses with crank walk, the Corvair. Euros tend to have more highly tuned engines from the factory, and these engines require more expensive, higher quality components. People buy luxury cars for their technology and performance, so they shouldn't be surprised when this comes at a price. Bottom line, do some damn research.
