German cars: advantages and disadvantages. List of German car brands

All people know perfectly which cars are considered the best in all respects. This, of course, German cars. "Audi", "Opel", "Mercedes", "Volkswagen", "Porsche" ... These are only the most famous brands-manufacturers! But this is not a complete list. Well, it is worth discussing this topic in more detail, since it is really very interesting.

List of Companies

So, the first thing you want to call those firms that produce German cars. And the first in the alphabet is the manufacturer Aaglander, producing a completely unique cabriolets that differ original original style.

ABT is a tuning company whose specialists are styling cars produced by such companies as Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda.

Another company is Alpina. Produces elite German cars on order. This company operates on the basis of BMW cars.

Amphicar - everything is simple. 4-seater car. Floating. The only one that is produced in mass production.

Artega - this company existed only in six years, it was closed in 2012. However, the technologies developed by specialists were extremely interesting and promising. Even "too advanced" for the society of that time. Because the idea was not lost, VW AG bought out the firm. All technologies have been used in the machines of this concern.

And which German cars do not already meet? These are cars produced by Barkas - the company produced vans and minibuses, as well as special vehicles. Cars with trucks. The company existed exactly 30 years, by the way, it was closed in 1991.

Bavaria, Brennabor, Daimler, DKW, Gemballa, Goliath, Gumpert Apollo, Horch, Isdera, Magirus, MAN, Multicar, Smart, Trabant, Veritas, Wartburg, Wiesmann are all German companies that produce (or have produced - some closed) cars , Trucks, motorcycles and much more. And they should be mentioned, because the enterprises are little known, but worthy of respect.

BMW

The famous Bavarian concern! Perhaps, if you ask an absolute dilettante about what German cars he knows, then he, without hesitation, will answer: "Mercedes" and "BMW." Indeed, these two brands are extremely popular all over the world.

So, what are the pros and cons of the story about the cars of this brand? Orient should be to the owners' reviews. Of the pros they sing out: prestige, elegance, comfortable interior, technical characteristics. Indeed, BMW is a car for people who are important status and speed. What are the disadvantages? Here it is noted the following: a huge fuel consumption, in some models - too low landing and aggressiveness. People who need a quiet ride, this car does not like. It "tears" from the spot, stops abruptly, you feel tense when you drive this car. And besides THAT is expensive.

Mercedes-Benz

If any machines of the German assembly and can be called cult, so it's "Mercedes". These cars have long been synonymous with luxury, wealth and excellent taste. BRABUS, AMG, Lorinser, Carlsson ... the best tuning studios in the world always take on the novelties produced by the eminent Stuttgart concern. Hundreds of horsepower under the hood, unrealistically comfortable lounges, where everything is designed as ergonomically and comfortably as possible (what Mercedes was famous for in the 80's), perfect handling ... But what's wrong with this car? It's simple - the price. To allow yourself a "Mercedes" means to automatically become a solid and wealthy person. And then spend money on it. For fuel, for maintenance, and if it is an old car (for example, from a series of legendary w124), then it is also spent on some details that sooner or later come to disrepair and require replacement. In general, "Mercedes" produces stunning, unique cars, but terribly not economical in all respects.

Audi

If you talk about the most popular German cars in Russia, then "Audi" will certainly be in the top five. At the end of the last century, this company did not produce such cars as now. But to date, Audi has shown tremendous results. The company produces new engines, applies modern technologies, improves styles - it's no wonder why interest in them has increased.

Pros? Same as the above models. Beautiful, elegant, impressive in all respects. And still, if in thoughts there is an idea to buy "adult" "Audi", but there are doubts, it is necessary to throw them away. The old models were made of very strong metal. That is why today, very few of these cars with rust and body defects.

Minuses? Here it is possible in more detail. Too much oil consumption is in the first place. About a liter per 1000 km! Timing belts also need to be changed frequently. Turbo-diesel engines after 100,000 kilometers run hydropods, the chain drive wears out. In general, the main disadvantage of "Audi" is that it requires investments and careful care. Especially models that are not one and not two years old.

Opel and Volkswagen

Telling about what German cars are very popular, we can not fail to note the attention of "Opel" and "Volkswagen." About the latter, however, now it is not necessary to speak. Because of that conflict in September. But still it is necessary to say a few words! To note that "Volkswagens" are reliable, reliable, safe cars, which were created taking into account the wishes of motorists. Many believe that now because of the "diesel scandal" the credibility of the cars of this brand will fall - but no. There is a slight decline, but only. And in the rest - full order. Moreover, in the Russian Federation five of the most popular and demanded cars is Volkswagen Golf. And it means something.

What is known about Opel? Many jokingly say that this is the German "Zaporozhets". But we mean only the price, not the quality. Indeed, one of the main advantages of Opel is their small value. Comfortable, reliable, undemanding - for these pluses these cars and fell in love with people.

Conclusion

The good thing is, now is the time when you do not need to think about how much it costs to break the German car? How to do it? What is necessary? After all, now in our country really buy a German car and immediately put on it Russian numbers!

Many German cars have been listed above. This list is really great. And, proceeding from all the above (although this is far from everything - discuss this topic for a very long time), we can say with certainty - cars produced in Germany do not have many drawbacks. In the end, nothing is perfect. And German cars were, are and will be popular. After all, this is a quality that has been tested by time and millions of customers.
