Yeah the reliability and maintance is a big deal for me. I don't want to screw around with a broken down car down the road. Yeah, I don't really care about 0-60 times. I'm way too old to be racing. But, that cornering with speed was pretty damn cool.
None of the German cars are unreliable in the sense that it will leave you broken down but more of just increasing the chances of having to take it in for something. That is still incontinent when under warranty and more so when not.

I'm with you on 0-60 times and stuff like that. Can be a rough idea of how quick a car can feel but all that really matters is having enough power you enjoy it without having an itch for something quicker. I find stuff like ride and handling (well below the actual limits vs. what it can actually do on a track) to be a big part of enjoying are car on the road and on a daily basis. To put it more simply its just finding what you enjoy most a complete package rather than performance on paper.
