Time and time again we hear/read of people describing Australian built vehicles as being of very poor build quality, while at the same time having nothing but praise for European built vehicles.
Something I saw today got me thinking. I was at Pickles Auctions having a look at some cars when I came across this 2008 Mondeo. The door trim material on both sides had completely come away from its backing. This is appalling for a 4 year old vehicle. I have never seen anything like this on a similarly aged Falcon or Commodore. European cars may be great when they are new, but from what I have seen they just don't stand up as well as Aussie built cars in our harsh conditions. So whats with this "Aussie is crap, Euro is best" attitude that so many people seem to have these days?   |

"European quality" is it just a myth?
