There isn't anything wrong with modern American Cars. Aside from being a little over expensive since the price of healthcare gets tacked on to them. Ford cars are the most reliable out there now adays. |
Ford's are very good also here in Europe. Here in Italy they cost a little bit less than comparable FIAT's they have less unuseful gadgets, but all the necessary is included and they are more reliable and equally economical in fuel consumption.
I'd buy an italian car only if I wanted a sports one, and in that case, unless I could afford a Ferrari or Maserati or Lamborghini, I should learn to live with Alfa Romeo's lower than average reliability (although they're much better than in the 70's and '80's, when they got much of their bad fame about this). In my family we had a lot of FIAT family and city cars, awful and too much expensive for their real value, the only reliable parts were their engines, now I won't get fooled again and I hope neither will my parents.

The Mini Clubman is the only Mini I would buy, because of the lack of space in the back seats and boot in the short one. However I'd buy a diesel one, I always preferred them.
Given its lower weight, it should have real city consumption lower than the others (theoric, declared by manufacturer ones are almost always a joke, especially the urban ones).
