Living in GErmany, I see no point driving an american car.
First: they use too much fuel. In Germany a Liter Gasoline costs about € 1.60 (As long as you don't use Diesel, which is a bit cheaper)
Second: Last Winter there were about -20° Celsius. Some Amerian cars gets trouble with that.
SO I am happy to drive in summer a 1990 VW Golf 1 Convertible and in winter a 1992 normal VW Golf 2 which had no trouble starting at -20° Celsius
