    I think that being in the US got the best of our friend. France is not here, spain is not here, Sweden is not here etc etc....

    RELIABILITY:

    Working as an assistant managed for a road assistance firm I can say that the question is a bit misleading. Many times a very reliable firm will produce a very unreliable model ( We used to have Hyundai Getz cars duying like flies much more than any other hyundai model ).

    From my experience the Japanese cars seemed to be the most reliable. They didnt seem to have the electronic and mechanical glitches that plagued other cars. Ford was reliable as well as Renault. Well known firms like Citroen Fiat and Audi didnt do very well.

    My view is that reliability wise I d go for a Japanese Car ( Since I cant afford Volvo )

    SENSIBLE CARS:

    I d go for French. Very popular and usually good looking, affordable and cheap cars.

    PERFORMANCE:

    I dont care, as long as it has 4 wheels, goes 'vroom vroom' and has a roof and has good safety I am ok...

    Dream Car:

    I used to drive a chrysler sebring convertible which was great fun where you are 18 but being 5 meters long and wide was giving me a pain in the ass for everyday usage.

    ATM my dream car is a small second hand something, any 'ethnic' origin will do, that I will buy with my own money after I start on my new job

    Oh, and about the cars in Bucharest,

    We have also a Ferrarri 612 Scaglietti with a Romanian number plate.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
