The internal combustion engines of German descent are designed differently.<\/p>\n

Every country designs their vehicles for their own population or driving characteristics. Let me explain please.<\/p>\n

The Germans are very good drivers for multiple reasons.<\/h3>\n

Reason #1: Driving in Germany is a privilege not a right. To get the privilege you have to get your driver license after finishing a grueling graduated licensing program, it’s a skill you build over years, not in a few hours like in here. Since they are highly educated about driving they’re allowed to drive fast on the autobahn naturally.<\/p>\n

The direct relation to fast driving German cars<\/strong><\/span> has great brakes, you must have great brakes to bring a vehicle to a stop when you’re doing 200 plus kph. The chassis has to be made stiff and strong.<\/p>\n

Reason #2; A loose chassis will kind of wadle at high speed no matter what. Additionally in case you crash at high speed you will have a much better chance to survive the crash, dead people do not buy cars .<\/p>\n

The third asset is that if you drive fast especially in a standard transmission equipped car you’re more connected to the machine than an automatic transmission equipped vehicle. The additional benefit is their engines are built to survive the high speed driving therefore they’re built for the purpose.<\/p>\n

German Cars’ Drive Ability Issues in North America<\/h3>\n

When these German Import Cars<\/strong> are shipped over to North America they develop multiple drive ability issues due to our vastly different driving habits. For instance in a manual gearbox equipped vehicle you the driver pick the shift points, so it’s up to you when you pick the next gear. On an automatic transmission equipped vehicle the computer decides to select the next gear.<\/p>\n

Cars in North America are forced by the government regulatory agencies like EPA and CAFE standards will prevail to choose the most economical gear possible. Therefore selecting the highest gear at the lowest speed to have the best average fuel economy.<\/p>\n

German cars are modified to north American driving standards with automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

When you drive those cars as they are modified to North American standards inadvertently, you will end up with multiple engine issues.<\/p>\n

We see a lot of engine issues due to ultra short distance driving. It causes blow by condense water build up in the oil sump, diluting the motor oil with water and fuel. Therefore the cappuccino-like slur will cause premature engine wear, especially at the bottom end of the engine and the cylinder head.<\/p>\n

The only cure is to drive your German car<\/em> as originally intended, spirited if possible, mostly in sport mode if automatic and at least 30 to 40 minutes after starting to elevate the oil temperature. So the engine gets self clean and will perform well for many years to come.<\/p>\n
