I want to buy a new car but I cannot take a decision.
If I look at prices and reliability then I would rather buy a Japanese car or even a Korean one.
German cars (especially Mercedes) are extremely expensive, service maintenance costs a fortune (imagine that a normal service check for a small car like Mercedes B-Class costs 3500 AED while for a SUV Honda Pilot it costs 700 AED only!) and last, but not least, the reliability is not the one you expect paying a premium price (I can hardly find a couple of Mercedes models in any reliability ranking list)
On the other hand German cars keep their value in time (given the facts above I do not understand why).
What would you buy in my place? Japanese, German or else?
