FICTION...Euro cars ARE more expensive to maintain that Japanese cars. Why?, cause I compared genuine parts for a BMW 3 Series to a Honda Accord, alot of the Accord prices for a similar part was actually way higher than the BMW.
FACT...Euro cars are better engineered
FACT..Audi parts are very expensive ONLY in Trinidad. My friend purchases ALL his A4 parts in the US and the parts are very reasonably priced.
FACT...Our climate has alot to do with car maintenance.
With respect to the Skoda...BUY DE DAMN CAR BRETHREN!! That is a boss car, reasonably priced and you're getting quality german engineering. I guarantee you won't be in the bamboo every 3 months wanting a part.

Not sure how you got to these conclusions....but both Consumer Reports and J D Powers rank Japanese manufacturers over European
See: http://www.reliableplant.com/article.as ... cleid=5038
The 2007 VDS study shows only 1 European (BMW) in the top 10. Note where Volkswagen/Audi sit
